Really, less talent. Look at it with open eyes, and not at potential, but what they are doing right here and right now:
QB - Kitna vs. Losman - probably a push
RB - Jones vs Mcgahee - probably a push
WR - Wiliams&Williams vs. Evans&Price - Detroit
OL - who cares they both suck
DL - We have better DE's they have a better interior line especially with Rogers
LB - be honest, I think the lions overall have a better LB corp
CB - Bly&Bryant vs Clements/Mcgee - Buffalo has the advantage
S - Bullocks/Holt vs. Witner/Simpson - honestly our make too many mistakes in coverage, probably even. Again, not potential. Both are young crews.
So we are even in 4 categories, ahead in 1 and Lions better in 2.
So on paper they are probably a better team. Not Jaurons fault at this point. He has overall subpar talent, and it's his job to take the young kids and grow them. We'll see. One thing I don't see is the look of a deer in headlights like Mularkey had. Will Jauron be good, I haven't a clue, but he's better than meathead, with less talent.
Let's give him a year to see,
