I thought we'd get 3 night games after last season. 4 is unreal.

Wow.

they added a ton this year if i remember correctly.

I like that theres no freezing cold games....dec 9 at GB shouldnt be too bad. CHI away is early. wont have to rely on our shitty run game and crappy defense.

 

[detrisin]

Six of first nine on the road.
Four two-game road trips.
@ Chi and vs. GB when both are coming off byes.

 

[zyxt9]

Looking forward to a return to the playoffs and better results in the playoffs!!!

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Such a bad schedule, we got shafted hardcore. 6 of the first 9 on the road, and even though it evens out in the end, it doesnt seem like it while looking at it.

 

[cmlfactor]

Looks like our best chance in a while to snap the Thanksgiving losing streak.

4 prime time games is crazy. Too bad 3 of the 4 I have pegged as losses.

Also don't mind the majority of home games at the end. Would rather finish strong for a change with momentum into the playoffs.

11-5 and a 5th seed.

None of those teams we can't beat.. Maybe GB at their place but other than that, not too shabby.

 

[LKP]

None of these teams we can't beat but I wouldn't be suprised if some of these teams beat us too that some may not expect. Like at Tennessee, at Arizona, at Philly, at Minnesota(two ugly wins last year). Lions have their work cut out for them this year but luckily finally have the talent to put together back to back good seasons and hopefully take the next step in the playoffs.

It's always like that. There's never many gimme's on the schedule..But it certainly beats a couple years ago when we knew we weren't beating many teams..

 

[LKP]

I agree it's no gimmes and the Lions can beat anybody. But I will be very disappointed but not THAT surpised if they end up 9-7 by losing to Pack twice, Houston, at Chicago, at Philly, at Tennessee and at San Fran. That still has the Lions sweeping Vikings, beating Chicago, beating Atlanta, beating Seattle and winning at Arizona. Rams/at Jags/Indy there is no excuse to lose to them but anything can happen.

It's why the NFL is so great. The Lions are a good team but this schedule is far from a cake walk to 10 wins. Can't wait for the season and to see if the Lions can take that next step.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lions might win 13, just never know.

 

[johnny2x2x]

10 wins. Tough schedule though, we have some improving to do to make the playoffs again.

Love the primetime games!

 

[tsmith7559]

3 road games for me this year....Tenn, J'Ville & Az

 

[imthetruth]

I'm making my annual trip up for the Seahawks game. I so excited and its over 6 months away.

[biggunsbob]
