DETROIT LIONS

[blakstr1]

Cant help but be excited about the NOW upcoming season.....  anybody plan to hit the MNF game?  i swore i'd go if they got MNF again and here we are, never been to a Monday game, can't wait.

I will be happy with a 500 season.......They still have some holes to fill but it could be exciting to watch...I sure wouldn't want to have to run against them...

[VinceR]

Trying to pass against them will be no picnic, either. I'll bet that more than one QB will be having nightmares. Just ask Jake Delhomme, and D McNabb.

I'd love to go to the Monday Night game.

[blakstr1]

i for one am drinking the kool-aid...lots of it, i know its pre-season but gotta admit they looked pretty sharp Friday night.  still questions on the OL and they couldve ran the ball better but gosh i cant wait for the regular season.

[LAPORTE]

I'm looking for tickets ... who has them.

[blakstr1]

regular season go on sale next Wednesday.....

[Skulley]

Too many optimistic people.  If the Lions finish better than .500, I'll eat my hat...........as the saying goes.  If Stafford doesn't get injured before Thanksgiving, it'll be a miracle.  I say they are a 7 and 9 team at best.  They will not make the playoffs.  You heard it hear first on GreatLakesBass.com.  It'll be another losing season for the sad sack Lions.

BD you are just taking the safe old way out. Take a risk! Live a little! I'm saying 8 and 8 but I probably won't be watching. The last time I was a real Lions fan Billy Sims was running the ball. Or maybe it was when Greg Landry was quarterback? I can't remember now.

[Skulley]

DK, I am living a little and taking a risk by saying those sad sacks are going to win 7 games. If I don't say they will do very well, then I am not setting myself up for disappointment. I really stuck my neck out with optimism winning 7 games. I remember them making the playoffs when Billy Sims was playing.....and I think they made the playoffs with Greg Landry calling signals. I think I am going to stick to fishing on Sundays and not watching the Detroit **deleted**cats.

i dont think he'll even have a chance to chew on it....

This could get interesting...

Maybe if they changed their name to Detroit Cheetahs team speed would improve??

Team speed will be just fine.

Team speed will be just fine.

i agree, i think they've improved top to bottom in that category over the past couple years....just have to keep guys healthy - which brings us to the biggest question for them, the OL. 

I think they go 9-7 this year.

[VinceR]

I think 9 - 7 sounds about right. If a few chips fall their way, maybe a little better.

Unlike most, I don't have the same concerns about the Oline. If they can get healthy (and stay healthy), I think that they may surprise some folks.

[djkimmel]

Good to see some optimism!

[Durand Dan]

10-6. I can remember my Father taking me to Tiger Stadium to watch them WIN! They are on thier way back

[Cheetam]

If they go 8-8, I would consider it a stellar season.

[TCook]

8-8 if stafford stays healthy 6-10 if he goes down again. Think your expectations are a bit high for this year, they are headed in the right direction but it will take a few years to get there and key players must stay healthy and thats a big if when it comes to Staffords glass shoulder with a suspect O-line.
