Was this game (DET@NE) an "FU" game?

PRO: Shut out league-leading offense, historic performance on 4th downs
CON: Didn't put up a 40-burger

What say you? Was this a "F—k you, we're the Patriots" game?

Shut outs in the NFL are not easy to do. I don't think they are anywhere near the level of swagger to be "FU we are the Patriots", but this is a step in the right direction.

Kind of mirrors last's years "close-overtime-loss-to good team" (Cowboys/Packers) followed by the blowout win (Jets/Lions).

Hopefully, like last year, kicks off the long winning streak.

Good win. But the Lions were 1-3 too. A FU win is closing the deal last week on the road in Green Bay when no one gave the team a chance.

A lot of the FU games involve beating the snot out of bad teams (especially, though not exclusively, the JEST).

Yeah that’s what we thought after the Jags game last season. Turns out it was a lie.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Nah. But a spectacular effort nonetheless.
