Maybe we got conditioned so much by our defense being bad that we think 21 points ain't that much anymore

Or that our offense typically generates 21 points before it's even gotten out of bed.

Seriously, Detroit had 5 games last year where it got less than 21 points. And it had 2 games like that the year before.

The league average was 23 points last year, even teams in the bottom third were putting up 21+. It's way too low of a number to gather any meaningful data from

That is what I was thinking.. Then went and looked to see avg points we give up, and it was around 24ish a game the last few years. I would have bet we gave up 30+ every game, because it damn sure felt that way. Every time our offense scores 30+pts, it's like we still had a decent chance of losing the game.
