Detroit Lions 2008-2009?

Question

How do you think they will do. I think they will do better than last season even though they had a decent record (7-9). They are more balnced this year and their defense is getting better every season. I think they are sleepers. What do you think?

Answer 1

9-7 wild card and will be in 2nd place with the vikings being 1st.

Answer 2

The Lions and the Cardinals are both WISHFULL teams,

Keeping wishing, and quite fulling around with them.

Just like the LA CLIPPERS,

Answer 3

If Kitna learns not just to throw the ball, he tries to force it.. He throws it up too much. If he settles down, works on his accuracy, the Lions can be an above average team. There are some good players there.

Answer 4

Im hoping they do well this year. So far in the preseason they look ok. But still nothing to write home about! I dont think they'll make the playoffs.

Answer 5

dont think they will be very good, but i dont think that they will a few games. I do think that the NFC is better than what people give credit for and there are a lot of yonng teams that i think will be impressive when the season starts. They will miss the playoffs on a very slim note

Answer 6

8-8.

Answer 7

same.  Calvin Johnson will be amazing, which meens Roy Williams gets P*issed that hes not the "guy" anymore, and demands a trade.  Still, the o-line is bad, but improving.  The Dgot a little better i guess.  they lost Rogers which sucks, but got bodden and smith in the secondary.  Ernie sims is a flat out beast, but a lack of pass rush, and kitna at QB does not equal improvement.  they should talk to the browns for a trade, next years 1st round pick for Brady Quinn, since there are really no great qb's coming out next year.  The running game should be better, and i think that a 2 headed attack of Smith and Calhoun could be good.  Calhoun is so underrated its not even funny.

Answer 8

i think its possible they go 8-8, but more likely 7-9 again...i believe that the NFC north plays the AFC south as their out-of-division games this season so its going to be hard for all the teams in your division...I believe that the Vikings are gonna win your division....

Answer 9

I can't see how they would be a better team this year.  The got rid of their best players. (5 former players were signed to multi-year, multi-million dollar deals)  They've looked good in pre-season, but with Green Bay and Vikings in their division I doubt they achieve 8-8.

Answer 10

I think they'll have a great season. Finishing 4th in their division ! Yeah, they're definately gonna be sleepers though, just like the past 20 yrs..............

Answer 11

6-10

The NFC North is really up in the air this season.

Answer 12

The Lions owner does a **** job. He tries to draft wide receivers in the first round every year, without realising there are more important positions to fill. It's about time they draft or get a good Quarterback, maybe take one in the first round next year because they need a more consistent Quarterback and Jon Kitna has gotta go.. I know they signed a rookie lineman in the first round this year but man so much wasted years, they gotta rebuild fast. Lions 6-10
