Please Don't Tell Anyone I'm a Detroit Fan

Ahhh Week 1. Everyone is equal and the possibilities are endless. Hell this just might be the year that we can win it all. Who needs Jon Kitna to predict 10 wins? I say they'll win 13! Afterall we went 4-0 in the preseason.
First casualty-the Atlanta Falcons. Rookie QB, no defense, starting corners who are 5'9" to cover our 6'3" and taller receivers. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything. Matt Ryan's first pass of his career goes for a 62 yard touchdown to Michael Jenkins (wasn't that guy officially pronounced a bust last year?) 313 combined rushing yards and a no name D that shut down Detroit for the majority of the first half. But in typical Lions fashion they made a comeback and at the end of the first half were only down by 7 and getting the ball back to start the third.
Sure, get my hopes up and crush them once again. Crush them by making me think that this is the year that Rod Marinelli can make the defense look like the old Tampa Bay defenses whose system he is trying to implement. Crush them by not getting Calvin Johnson a touchdown in the numerous leagues that I drafted him in. Crush them by signing Rudi Johnson and decreasing the value of Kevin Smith in the numerous fantasy leagues that I drafted him in. Crush them by losing 30k vbucks that I bet on them. Crush them by maintaining their status as laughing stock of the NFL.
Things don't look to be any better next week with the Packers coming to town and Ernie Sims the best player on defense already being hurt. Well at least I know what to expect this year.

"Crush them by maintaining their status as laughing stock of the NFL."
Knock...Knock!! Hello?!? You ever heard of a team called the Raiders?? My team kicks your teams ass in the Super Bowl of the laughing stock of the NFL. So much for my optimism.
