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

[paco]

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

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

[Philavanh]

9-10 wins

[Monitor-Tan]

8-8

[Brock Landers]

finally this team looks like they will be doing something, tough division though, they will probably end up 3rd

[zam77]

7-9 or 8-8

[k13]

8 or less.

High expectations = disappointment

Schedule not the easiest either.

[HoulihansTX]

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.

[forloveofthegame]

they have the talent but will find a way to stay under .500

[King Mayan]

I see 8 wins.

[paco]

8 or less. High expectations = disappointment Schedule not the easiest either.

I think they can be 5-1 before losing there 2nd game to the Falcons in Wk6.

[HoulihansTX]

Will they win on the road?

[Br0nxer]

9 or 10 if china doll stafford can stay on the field

im hoping they can be pretty good in the next few years. my pops is a die-hard lions fan and would like him to be able to enjoy it before he is too old

[paco]

Will they win on the road?

We'll find out 1st game of the season whn they play the up-and-coming Buccaneers

[k13]

o/u is 7.5

[sportsreport]

Over 7.5...,2nd place in division

[paco]

9 or 10 if china doll stafford can stay on the field

There was rumors they were gonna try to sign Vince Young just in case as a backup. Was sad to see that didnt pan out

[paco]

o/u is 7.5

Is this @ -110?

[Roadtrip635]

9 or 10 if china doll stafford can stay on the field

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.

[Br0nxer]

if stafford can stay healthy i think he is easy top 10 QB in league

[sweethook]

there like the cubs you lovem but they not gone make it, id say 8-8

[ShogunRua]

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

[rm18]

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

Which ones ya dont like?

[FindTheLock]

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.

[paco]

I also think Titus Young was a great draft pick.

[Br0nxer]

I also think Titus Young was a great draft pick.

they have had great drafts since millen left

love fairley-titus and leshoure

leshoure-jahvid combo should be very good

not gunna win that many road games
Not gunna beat GB on Thanksgiving either

[rm18]

9-7 Lose the Thanksgiving game but beat GB the last week when they rest their guys

[paco]

Dont know if this really helps much but they signed Maurice Stovall today

[paco]

[Dabeergod]

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.

[vyomguy]

lions defense is good.

[k13]

Amusing that some think they'll win 10 games.



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

[slacker00]

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

[k13]

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.
