$epphori$ 118 Posted October 10, 2008 lol...dayum...and I took a future of over 6.5 wins but I did take the under 9 wins on seattle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yostevo 0 Posted October 10, 2008 It won't happen because of the nature of the NFL but I'd pinpoint the houston,TB, and Minnie @ home as the games they have to nab a victory to avoid the historical futility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belushi 9 Posted October 10, 2008 It doesn't matter what their schedule is. There are upsets every week in the NFL, and I'm sure Detroit will catch a team sleeping and get a few good bounces for at least one win. In a season where Miami is beating NE and SD and Atlanta is beating GB in GB, anything can happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwhiz73 0 Posted October 12, 2008 It doesn't matter what their schedule is. There are upsets every week in the NFL, and I'm sure Detroit will catch a team sleeping and get a few good bounces for at least one win. In a season where Miami is beating NE and SD and Atlanta is beating GB in GB, anything can happen. Yeah I agree. 1. They will probably win around 3-4 games. 2. Either Orlovsky or Stanton will take over at QB. 3. The Lions will look great in a victory or two towards the end of the year, giving us fans a slight glimmer of hope that next year with a few good changes they will start to turn the corner. 4. Roy Williams will sign with the Cowboys. 5. Rehire Wayne Fontes as head coach. 6. Hire Barry Sanders as General manager. 7. Sign some big name free agents (us fans will ignore the fact that they are overweight, overpaid, lazy players past their prime) 8. Draft a big name offensive player that will be the "answer". 9. Hidden Camera reveals a return of "Another one bites the dust" playing in the locker room before gametime 10. The Lions then remind us after the first several games next year that they really are only watchable for half of the first quarter of each game, with the rest of the season being a determining factor on draft position rather than playoff contention. The last 30 years have been tough on this Lion's fan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimsonKeel 0 Posted October 12, 2008 As a long time fan the lions will Somehow pull out a couple wins "ONLY" when it becomes apparent that if they win a couple they will get the 2nd pick of the draft instead of the 1st pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 12, 2008 Hrm..5-11 was my call before the season, I'd have to say 3-13 now (its the NFL, crappy teams always inexplicably win games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffkomlo 19 Posted October 12, 2008 0-16 not out of the question, Orlovsky is not the answer, Stanton is injury prone and has virtuallly no NFL experience O line is horrendous and D just sucks (2nd rounder Dizon is a bust as well as all the former TB D players ), the players want martz back and williams wants out. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 25, 2008 They will win one........against Minny. That is the one I've been looking at. I just think it is near impossible to go 0-16 in the NFL, so they will inevitably win a game or two they have no business winning. I said 5-11 before the season, I've been on 3-13 since week 4. I might have to adjust down to 2-14 at this rate, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belushi 9 Posted November 12, 2008 Wow, the Lions have a real shot at going winless. That's awesome! They will forever be known as the worst franchise of all time. I can't wait. I assume Swampy has killed himself by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hood 9 Posted December 8, 2008 After the way the Packers played yesterday, I'm seriously worried that the Lions will win that game. You should be. As much as I'd like to see them lose them all.........watching the Pack lose to them might be even better. Lions did have a 4th qtr lead the first game. Pick-6 Kitna turned it back into a blow-out at the end. They'll be ready to just end the season and the Lions will be desperate to not go down as the worst FAILure ever.

mozzy84 0 Posted December 8, 2008 they will probably beat the packers (there defense might actually be worse than Detroits), then all the stupid packers fans will spin it and say thanks for getting us a better draft pick lions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted December 8, 2008 No way they beat the Colts or Saints, so Green Bay is their best bet. Honestly, that should be a great game...depending on how you look at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted December 19, 2008 I'd say it's 50/50 at this point. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat the Saints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JGB_11 0 Posted December 19, 2008 did you know (from the Detroit Free Press) The Lions are 107 games below .500 since Ford took over. When Millen came onboard they were only 43 games below .500 The Lions have gone 281-388-13 since William Clay Ford's first season as sole owner in 1964. They need to win 107 straight games to reach .500. ... The sad thing is, Ford's record seems surprisingly good. You'd think it'd be worse. The Lions have gone 31-95 since 2001. Ford needed only 43 victories to reach .500 before Matt Millen came along. -- Detroit Free Press Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
