TIM AND MIKE: Home opener a 'better not lose'

It isn’t the way the Lions wanted to start the season, but their 0-2 record is what it is.

They did not play consistently well in any phase in their road losses to San Diego and Minnesota, and the next three games might be the toughest stretch of the season. It starts Sunday night with a home game against the Broncos. After that is a road game against Seattle on Monday Night TV, then home against the dangerous Arizona Cardinals.

Is this the critical point in the schedule? And is it too early to have a must win game?
