What would make people think that the Lions are going to make the playoffs this season?

Question

I understand being a fan of your team and all, but you gotta be realistic. People like "Man of the hour" need to take a good look at the schedule, and come up with decent predictions. They may be better or worse, but the Lions have yet to prove that they can hang with the Big dogs in the NFL (Colts, Patriots, Jags, Chargers, Cowboys, Steelers).

Answer 2

they may do okay ts depends how they play against teams in there divison

Answer 3

i think overmedication is the only way someone would think the lions will make the playoffs

Answer 4

The sole reason the Lions can make the playoffs this year is that the rest of their division is also questionable. Aaron Rodgers will be fine in GB, but he may need a few games to gel with his teammates before things start to come together. The Vikes have a good D, but can their O rise to the challenge. The Bears well, they are the Bears and I expect them to continue to struggle until a clear cut QB starts to lead the team.

Answer 5

I still think divisional games hurts the Lions the most. Maybe they are just really confident in their team. I'm not so sure about it but if they want to believe they are going then let em'... I just don't see it happening.  

Answer 6

I think that it wil help a lot that my Bears will lay down and give them two games. We haven't a quarterback and that's a fact. The organization knew it and yet they still refuse to address the problem.
