I'm a Lions fan so I'm biased, and I'm also overseas so have seen little of their games so far, but I don't think they're overrated.
They're a team that has been stockpiling talent for a number of years and finally have a management team and coaching staff that is changing the losing culture. I think that winning streak at the end of last season was the turning point for the Lions. They have a very different attitude this year!
Sure the Lions played the Chiefs, but you don't control your schedule. The Lions did go into Tampa and beat a decent Bucs team. They then went out and did what they were supposed to; blow the Chiefs out of the park. What more would you want to see?
I know a lot of people expect the Lions to become the same old Lions at some point in the year, and it may still happen, I'm not naive. They'll probably have to get some divisional wins under their collective belt before many people begin to believe they're for real.
