I'll go with 5-11, 4-12 wouldn't surprise me a bit, either

I think we'll pull off the same record as last year. We won't start 6-2 but we won't finish 1-7 either.

What's that? 5-11? My margin of error is +/- 2

The over/under is 6.5, btw (bodog)

What a friggin crap shoot this is. Fuck, I don't know, I'll just say shitty.

^lol

Okay who's going to be the first optimistic d-bag to start chirping?

I consider that to be anything higher than 7-9.

I think the Lions have a good shot this year. I really think Millen has learned from his mistakes, and he made the right additions this year. All the Lions have to do on offense is throw the ball in the air and either Roy or CJ is going to come down with it. Our running game is going to be pretty good because the rookie we got has been very solid.

On defense, we upgraded the secondary by adding a 7th round draft pick and Leigh Bodden. The middle is still anchored by Paris Lennon. The defense will do its job.

I can't see this team losing a lot, especially with the talent and ex-Buccaneers on this squad. I say 13-3 best, 12-4 worst.

It's easy to sit there and say which games a team is going to lose/win...if you're not a fan of the Lions. There may be some games in there that they "should" win, but you know they're bound to lose a couple of them.

And at least one game they have no right being even close in that they win. But just one.

And at least one game they have no right being even close in that they win. But just one.

And it usually causes them to fall about 6 draft positions.

7-9, just like last year...

And it usually causes them to fall about 6 draft positions.

Except that 3 of the last 4 teams are probably playoff bound (or will be fighting for a spot). I would say all 4, but I doubt Minny or GB will be the wild card (one will win the division).

So it will be hard to get that worthless win unless one of those teams have nothing to play for.

That buttfuck Ray Bentley picked the Lions to win 10 games, "maybe even 11".

The lions are going to be great; you shellshocked pessimists will burn in the fire of Allah's flatulence.

I don't follow the Lions depth anymore, but to me the position that lacks depth the most is QB. With Kit being concussion prone, the #2 is a pocket passer. I don't trust our Oline to protect him.

It seems to me we have abnormally agressive CBs and safeties. They'll prolly get torched in game 1 with 4tds and end all of that, but they do look a lil better to me.

RBs have depth. WE HAVE A TIGHT END! I like that new guy. I'd Millen has drafted enough WRs, so we're ok there.

To me its the QB position that if Kit goes down, the rest of our season could be a snakes ass or something.

To me its that if the season starts, the rest of our season could be a snakes ass or something.

Fikst.

Originally I said 5-11 going game by game. I'm now leaning toward 7-9. Yes, it's cornbread. 3 meaningless preseason wins in 3 chances helps a lot, but I've been impressed by what I've seen when our 1st team was facing the opponent's 1st team. I think we can win a couple I was previously doubtful of. I'm buying what Marinelli is selling. (I still think he needs dental work, however)

^ Jethro, kind of believing in now.

ESPN's not serving any cornbread:

A couple of them did pick Smith to be offensive Rookie of the Year.

LOL

6-10.

I'm switching from 7-9, to 9-7.

I'm switching from 7-9, to 9-7.

:cornbread:

5 wins, 6 tops

Find the 9 wins in that schedule.

3-13.

Anyone over the 8 win mark in this poll is wrong and has learned nothing.

20-0

I agree with Chris.

Not only are the Lions going undefeated this year in the regular season and playoffs, they'll be sending their entire team to Hawaii for the Pro-Bowl. Of course, while they're there, they'll destroy the AFC by at least 30.

Simple math, bitches.

True, 20 is not right (I forgot the playoffs). So that's 23-0 I guess.

I now predict the Lions willn play the Bengals in the Superbowl and Rudi will be the MVP as he crushes his former team with 207 yards and 3 TD.

I don't have enough room on the screen to put enough zero's in the %chance they both make the superbowl.

So they are 0-3 now. When do they get their first win?

I see 2-3 wins on the schedule, max. The Lions will have a top 5 pick this year, book it.

I could seriously see us going 0-16 and thats hard to do.

If Millen gets to make this pick, I'm ... I'm going to move California or something.

Thank God for the KC Chiefs. On Dan Patricks show today the question was 'could USC beat KC? How we dodged being the Pro team is beyond me.

Could you imagine if Al Davis was the owner of the Lions...and how long (or short) Millen would be employed here.

What a friggin crap shoot this is. Fuck, I don't know, I'll just say shitty.

Hey, how low does shitty go?

I think shitty goes to Zero wins, correct?

Look at how wrong we were. Nobody picked them worse than 5-11.

I picked them 1-15 because I'm an expert on football. I really love this shtick.

I would have been right (5 wins) if they hadn't fired Millen and exiled the Miracle Man.

It's official. Everybody lost this one.

Shitty includes 0-?

Why has god forsaken me?

What? You were only off by 10 wins or so.

DrRay can still win. He didn't vote, but he said 3-13 in a post. DrRay owns.

I was second closest.
