10-2 Finish

[LKP]

This is LKP's last stand

The team is talented enough and has a favorable schedule now. Injuries, protection, play call predictability and run game must be sorted out this week.

We have 38% pressure on QBs from our defense and a top 5 YPC run defense (even with the Peterson game disaster). We can cover better. We need Levy back.

If the offense wakes up at home, 10-2 can happen.

Could it be done? Absolutely. Will it? A record like that implies consistency. The only thing the Lions have been consistent at is inconsistentancy. The are consistently inconsistent. They are a Matt Stafford lead team after all.

Someone had to take the bait.

I'm just taking a nibble rather than hook line and sinker. Looking at the schedule you could see 10 wins. Then you remember it's the Lions.

Just let this guy go away or drop his gimmick once and for all. The board had plenty of good discussion the past week without him.

Agreed with this.

I actually thought that if the Lions had beaten the Seahawks, they would have come back to get clown stomped by ARI, thinking they had 'arrived'...

But, the schedule really is easy going forward, however, I cant even predict 6 wins, yet alone 10, before seeing some major improvements from the Offense...

but, who knows

Not good enough conversations. Plus it's regular season. I'm useful during the lulls of the offseason.

It was incredible around here. We were having real discussions about football. Then I click the board and see 10-2 is happening.

Lions could easily only win only 6 too based on how they played the first 4 on offense. But they have the talent for 10 wins and the schedule finally. And even the first 4 games, they are pretty close to 2-2. 18 point lead and getting hosed by the refs yet again in Seattle.

There are some positives (run D in 3 games, pressure in 3 games,Ebron). But the injuries to Ngata, Walker, Levy, Warford and Ebron now, they are piling up. That is alot of talent to lose. I want Warford and Waddle together to see how this Oline should actually look. That is the Oline we are counting on. Reiff rebounded after 3 dismal games. He must keep that up. Man Ram playing well. Swanson I didn't think anyone could be worse at run blocking than Raiola. I was wrong on that. Swanson is young but we need better play right now. Man Ram at center and Laken at LG might have to happen.

Lions last 6 of 7 games have been on the road. The league needs to fix how they schedule home and away games.

This was a football conversation. Until you and UM decided to make it not about football. Your fault. Not mine.

Nah, he just knows like everyone else that you are a troll trying to get a rise out of the board. It was honestly enjoyable around here for the week, no one seemed to be yelling and screaming at each other. But so much for that, so go ahead and burn this forum down until you take another vacation.

The offense waking the hell up is the key. Defense is fine. Top 5 run D right now and Lions have brought a higher % of pressure than they did in 2014. 38%>36%.

Coverage Mathis/Dig had one bad game but rebounded, Slay had one bad game (Week 3) and rebounded.

Warford/Waddle together for once. Give me Pettigrew back too so we can have some TE blocking. Lions YPC was good Week 1 (though Chargers can't play run defense well). Weeks 2-4 no Pettigrew.

12 games left...I see 12 wins. I just don't know which team is going to win them!

Trying to have a football conversation.

Lions 10-2 and why or why not is a legit convo. I am not a troll, I'm a legit football debater and I know a shit ton about the Lions to carry the conversations around here.

Lions 10 times hopefully.

8-4 finish with a tough schedule last year. 10-2 with easier schedule.

7 homes games, one neutral. 8

at Bears, at Saints. 2

AZ, KC, @GB, GB, @ Rams....3-5 losses out of those 5 games.

We can beat Arizona, GB and KC in neutral. Offense needs to wake the hell up though.

I have at GB and at Rams as the 2 losses.

And I will be so pissed if we finish 9-3 and that Seattle game costs us.

 

[dubbsco]

Well, there goes the board. We had fun though, didn't we??

There goes nothing. Have a football conversation. See all my other posts in this thread talking to others.

possible...but highly unlikely. All three of those teams are better than the Lions.
