Started: 6-3Finished: 7-9, out of the playoffs Summary: Of course, this was just last season. Most Lions’ fans thought, based on the team’s record and the injury situations for many other teams, the Lions were a lock to make the play-offs and win the North Division. Instead, they lost six of their last seven games and didn’t make the playoffs.

Started: 6-2Finished: 10-6, lost Wild Card play-off game to New Orleans Saints 45-28 Summary: Led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Lions’ offense looked unbeatable at times. Detroit was 10-4 entering its last two games, and looking like a playoff contender. Instead, Detroit’s defense couldn’t stop anyone. The Lions lost their last three games, including the loss to the Saints in the playoffs.

Started: 5-2Finished: 9-7, out of the playoffsSummary: The Lions could’ve made the playoffs with a victory against the Bears during the last game of the season, but lose after the Bears’ Paul Edinger nails a 54-yard field goal. And, of course, the loss helped spur on the Matt Millen era, eventually resulting in the Lions’ 0-16 season in 2008. Bleak times were ahead for Lions’ fans.

Started: 6-2Finished: 8-8, lost Wild Card game to Washington Redskins 27-13Summary: I remember leaving the Pontiac Silverdome after the Lions beat the Rams to go 6-2. This team seemed like it was going places. But it wasn’t. The squad lost its last five games, including the playoff contest to the Redskins. The Rams ended up winning the Super Bowl that season.

Started: 6-2Finished: 12-4 lost to Washington Red-skins in NFC Championship game 41-10Summary: Best Lions’ season of my lifetime. The Lions were trailing 17-10 at Washington at halftime in the NFC Cham-pionship game. I remember thinking to myself ‘The Lions are one strong half of football away from the Super Bowl.’ They were outscored 24-0 at halftime and haven’t been close to the Super Bowl ever since.

The Detroit Lions are 6-2, but here’s a

By David Troppens  The Detroit Lions are halfway through the regular season and enjoy a 6-2 record, placing second in the National Foot-ball Conference if the season ended today. One would think a 6-2 start during a 16-game season would probably be a good indicator of success for a squad. That’s probably true, unless you are the Detroit Lions. Since 1991, the Lions have started the season with records like 5-2, 6-2 and 6-3 six other times. During those seasons, the Lions failed to make the playoffs twice, and only won a playoff game once. I wanted to take a look back at some of those past seasons.

Started: 7-2Finished: 10-6, lost Wild Card game to Green Bay Packers 28-24Summary: In back-to-back games, the Lions played the Packers. The Lions won the NFL Central the last week of the sea-son to earn a home game in the Wild Card round of the playoffs the next week. Unfortunately, the Lions lost the next week when Brett Farve found Sterling Sharpe wide open in the endzone for the game-winning TD. I was at both of the games.

Show your patriotism on Veterans DayuDisplaying the flag on Nov. 11 is a show of patriotic support to all veterans, both living and deceasedBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Veterans Day is a day of celebration and honor, so it is a very appropriate day to fly a flag. Because it’s not a day of mourning, flags are not flown at half-staff. Here’s how to honor Veterans Day by flying Old Glory:• Attach the flag to the flagpole with the blue field in the upper left corner.• Raise the flag to the top of the flag-pole as early as possible in the morn-ing hours (sunrise at the earliest).• Leave the flag flying throughout the entire day of Nov. 11 as long as there is no inclement weather. If rain or snow develops, take the flag down unless the flag is made of weatherproof fabrics that won’t suffer damage from moisture.• Take the flag down at or a few min-utes before sunset.Source: eHow.com

‘White-Coat Syndrome’ or High Blood Pressure?DR. ROACH: My 21-year-old son is a college athlete, a sprinter, but he has had recurrent high systolic blood pressure readings since he was a senior in high school. He’s generally easygoing and not stressed. Doctors always attribute the elevated results to ‘white-coat syndrome,’ since he is otherwise in excellent health and doesn’t drink, smoke or use drugs. The last reading was 142/78. Once, a nurse had him rest quietly for a few minutes and rechecked the reading; it was lower, but still high. He just finished four months of rigorous basic training with the Army with no problems (his high reading on his physical was put down to nervousness), and he may now be anxious no matter where or when the reading is taken, but I’m worried that something else may be going on. Is there something we should have checked? — K.C.

ANSWER: The real question is whether your son has

‘white coat’ hypertension, or just hypertension. The best way of answering this is with a 24-hour blood-pressure monitor, which checks the blood pressure every 15-30 minutes while awake, and less frequently at night. If those readings are mostly in the normal range, we could conclude that he has reactive, or white-coat, hypertension. However, it is possible that he has hypertension. Healthy young people

sometimes get hypertension, and he may be able to get his blood pressure down without medication, through salt reduction and relaxation techniques. But if he needs them, there are medications that will not affect his athletic abilities. I sometimes order an echocardiogram to look for changes in the heart that go along with high blood pressure. However, the elevated blood pressure readings are only of a few years’ duration, so he might not have these yet. I think the 24-hour BP monitor is the way to go. High blood pressure is one of the most common ailments for the general population.
