I see the Lions going 2-2 @ best for an 8-8 finish.

I hope they go 0-4

Lose em all put em in better postion to get that RB

RB ain't helping this team. They just got their ass kicked by Joe Flacco.

I am serious it is most probable for Lions to win out. It's not guaranteed but I'd take the Lions in each game. For reasons in the post above

now do you understand how probabilities work? The chances the Lions won vs. the Raves were less than 50%...and they lost.

I wouldn't mind the Lions spending all their picks on D-line


Ngata is probably done here and Ansah isn't worth re-signing

 

[mhughes0021]

ansah is fine as a big bodied run stopper that can set the edge. We still need a pass rusher. Ansah will probably want to be paid like a top pass rusher and he just hasn't been that the last 2 years. If you could keep him cheap to be your #2 de its be ideal... it's just not going to happen.

Can they draft a new coaching staff?

They don't need coaches, just fire the ones we've got

Yep, every single one. I really think Vita Vea should be drafted by us. Need that plug in the middle, that can also get penetration. Perfect replacement for Ngata

This week isn't turning out too bad for the Lions despite the loss. Panther lose, Falcons lose, Seahawks playing the Eagles tonight.

Just enough to give us hope before it comes crashing down again.

lost by 3+ TDs but it's not too bad?

It doesn't matter...the Lions are a mediocre team in a conference with 5 or 6 really good teams. Even if they made the playoffs (which they won't) they will get bounced early

They're probably done, but I can't deny that they did get help this week. They'll continue to piss away every single advantage they get though, their cupcake schedule might not even save them now.

oh, even I got sucked in today. I saw the Lions getting 3 and I figured...WTF...put a little money on them. Screw them!

17-3 Seattle end of 3rd.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well Seattle is going to win. Playoff chance, BACK OFF!

 

[grandy]

Seahawks win

Minnesota is your new #1 seed, Seattle bumps Carolina to 6

I have a friend who is a Browns fan. He complains to me every time he bets on the Lions and loses.

I will give you the same advice I give him. Never ever bet on the Lions. You will always end up being disappointed.

As a Browns fan I thought he could follow my logic.

Lions playoff chances went down to 10%, after the games yesterday.
