Three Degrees of Pat Caputo: Lions Need To Beat The Rams Or Else...
If the Lions don't beat the Rams Sunday, three very bad things will transpire:
1. The many fans who are happy with the Lions because of their close-but-no-cigar losses to playoff contending teams so far this season will disappear.
2. The Lions won't have another realistic shot at a victory until Halloween night against the Redskins.
3. The season will essentially be perceived as over before it really gets started.
