Detroit Lions 09 season

[Reaper]

What are your predictions on how this year will play out? Also discussions on players is also welcome. And in my opinion from what I have seen so far, seems to be fair to say that they will at least win a game lol. But this is preseason and things can change drastically as they have in the past. So far I think Matt Stafford isn't quite ready to be the starting QB.

So my prediction for the season out of 16 games will be 5 wins, 11 losses. There are just too many other teams that look really good this year.

Good estimation.

I think they're better, doesn't mean a whole lot.

As long as we aren't in last place, I'll be happy.

GO LIONS

and if that isn't the case (most likely)

GO PATS

(I liked them since they had Bledsoe, so I'm not a bandwagoner.)

I'll say 4 - 12. they have a brutal schedule with games against quite a few playoff contenders.

Yeah, I have liked the Patriots too when Detroit has been out of the picture. Kinda like rooting for my U of M football team and anyone else who is playing Ohio State lol

Wait...who are the Detroit Lions?

[Simon Bar Sinister]

seems that all 3 QBs did good yesterday and, more importantly, that the O-line actually protected each of them.

I want to see that happen for at least a month in the real season before they even think about starting Stafford.

[Tacohitts]

No matter how you look at it The Lions suck.

IMO better ownership,anyone but Ford that is,might help the team.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Matt Stafford got the starting QB job. Culpepper better heal up in a hurry. I still don't trust the O-line, and I'd rather not see the kid take an NFL-style beating just yet.

On the brite side they cannot do worse then last year.

[StormKnight (1)]

On the bright side they cannot do worse then last year.

Oh, great, now you jinxed them...

[Simon Bar Sinister]

the D-line looks just as bad as last year's. The Lions could give up 30+ points per fucking game.

Watch them one time.

It looks like they are playing a game that is nothing like football

In retrospect they looked better than last year. Not tough to do but they did it. And the Saints are a damn good team

[prick]

They lost and their defense was the worse part of the game but I think they are improved from last year. A rookie quarterback wont win them many games but hopefully with a few seasons he could become something. No one goes to the superbowl after coming off such a horrible year before. they need to build a team which will take time, good drafts and picking up good free agents. Lets hope the coaching staff is worth a damn too.

[DarkVampire]

Their defense sucks and so does their protection. Matt is great, or would be if he had a better team. I've seen him play for Georgia and he was damn good then.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

They lost again (now there's a surprise), but they actually looked like an NFL team for most of the game.

Not a good NFL team, but an NFL team nonetheless.

[prick]

they looked damn good the first half. now if they just learn there are two halfs.

[Slogo]

It looks like they are trying to play the sport of football

[DarkVampire]

They should have stayed on the field during the half. It all went down hill starting in the 3rd quarter.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Lions win, lol!

[prick]

Well they have the record for most losses in a single season but they now cant get the record for most consecutive losses. I believe its the Raiders who hold that at like 24 straight.

[KatRN05]

I heard the Lions won today, I'm amazed.

[phee]

Not quite hell freezing over... but there maybe a small coldfront moving in

[Guest Megalicious]

Ummm, they beat the RS and they still almost lost.... *laughs* I wouldn't call that a win, but when you are the Lions, I guess a win is a win. JFC.

[KatRN05]

I guess we will take whatever win they get. The Wings won their game yesterday.
