    How many wins ya see for the Detroit Lions this year?

    I say 9-7 if Stafford and Calvin stay healthy on offense.

    Suh will be even better on Defense this year if healthy.

    8 or less.

    High expectations = disappointment

    Schedule not the easiest either.

    Lions are the new Texans.
    People are going to pick them to go to playoffs/win divsion for the next 4 years, 2while ignoring the fact that the Packers are in the same division. See Colts v Texans last 4 years.

    9-7 if, and that's a big if, Stafford can stay healthy. Their secondary is still a big question. Don't want to jinx your team, but it finally looks like the Lions are putting together a solid team.

    8-8. Their D-line is going to be pretty sick though.

    Back Qb spot is decent though they would win 8 games without Stafford

    7 or 8. D line is good. O line is bad and so is the secondary. If they focused on getting some O linemen to protect their QB then they might be able to make a run at the playoffs, but Stafford will spend a lot of time on his back this season.

    I also think Titus Young was a great draft pick.

    This Lions team has slowly become my 2nd favorite team behind the Cowboys. Love what they have done over the last two years. They added some nice pieces to this organization. I see them finishing 2nd in the North, and going either 9-7 or 8-8.

    Amusing that some think they'll win 10 games.



    I'd like to bet a million on that please.

    Detroit is about .500 calibre right now. If they can get some good breaks, who knows? But bad breaks could send them down also.

    Lions have won 10 games three times the last 40 years.

    I remember watching all three of those teams in the 90's with barry, herman moore, mitchell, spielman etc.

    Show you how tough the nfl was back then, really good teams got wrecked by dynasties.

    Niners in one of those years were +160 diff and missed the playoffs. Beyond Sick.
