Midseason Surprises and Disappointments: http://mmqb.si.com/2014/10/31/nfl-surprises-disappointments-midseason/
One crucial second-half task for each NFL team (They're 4-0 when WR Golden Tate has 10-plus targets. Lions would be wise to ensure his role doesn't diminish too much when Calvin Johnson returns.): http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/10/31/second-half-tasks/18247835/
Q: Every NFL team’s biggest regret at midseason ( Detroit is in a no-win contract situation with Ndamukong Suh. The star defensive tackle can either walk or force his way into a massively too large deal for a Lions team with little leverage. Either way, it’s hard to relish the current competitive run with the knowledge of a possibly painful offseason.): http://q.usatoday.com/2014/10/31/every-nfl-teams-biggest-regret-at-midseason/
