I found the error: Sort Order

[zyxt9]

When LKP predicted top 5 O and D, he had the Sort Order reversed.

He also was reading an inverted fraction when determining Stafford's Rating.

These things happen, but at least we can now understand where his projections came from and can now move forward.

Not a big fan of calling someone out in a thread like this. No need to create a new one.

For real zyxt, wtf is wrong with you?

Leave poor old LKP alone; he's just been expressing his support for his team.

What's the point of creating a thread like this to call someone out on a thread like this?

Vkl!

Damn guys, sorry. It was honestly more frustration with how far below everyone's expectations the Lions have been that their performing at about the inverse of the most optimistic poster's comments.

I couldn't use the most pessimistic poster as an example, as even their preseason projections would be considered optimistic at this point.

DT 2-4, MLB,SAM and nickel were all upgraded.
OLBS,DEs and secondary in year 2 of the system.

Ngata is a better run defender than Suh and a good pass rusher still.

These are not ifs.

11-5 and a top 5 defense in 2014. I called 2014. And I'll call 2015. I have never failed.

12-4 with a top 5 offense and top 5 defense. Stafford 100 QB rating.

Top 5 PPG is not far fetched for the offense that is loaded with talent.
Stafford is good and has led a top 5 offense before and played well enough in 2013 and 2014 for a top 5 offense. Calvin and Tate are elite and healthy
We upgraded protection (with draft and health) and run game big time this offseason
Year 2 of the system, plus Lombardi can learn from mistakes
Moore can be solid
Ebron is talented and in year 2.

Everything points to top 5.

Only 2 games but...

Offense: 24th yards per game, 22nd points per game
Defense: 30th yards per game, 30th points per game
Stafford: 81.0 QB rating (25th)

On the bright side there is nowhere to go but up!

Isn't that the official franchise motto?

Isn't that the official franchise motto?

I thought it was...."The Detroit Lions...consistent losing since 1957"

 

[tinselwolverine]

"The Lions Suck."

 

[LKP]

I didn't realize the season ended after 2 games

 

[Mitchrapp]

83% chance it just ended.

 

[LKP]

And you are all way too happy after a Lions loss. Just proof you want me to be wrong.

 

[dubbsco]

I knew it was a bit slow this morning. We needed the kick in the rear to get things sorted out again.

 

[Mitchrapp]

And you are all way too happy after a Lions loss. Just proof you want me to be wrong.

Just somewhat normal..

 

[LKP]

This team is very capable of going 10-4, 11-3 or 12-2 to finish the season. We'll see if they do it.

 

[dubbsco]

What have they shown you that they are capable of doing that?

 

[tomdalton22]

This team is very capable of going 10-4, 11-3 or 12-2 to finish the season. We'll see if they do it.

they are also capable of finishing 4-10, 5-9 or 6-8!

 

[brewer229]

Lions will be underdogs the next 3 games. 0-5 is a probability unfortunately.

 

[LKP]

What I tell you guys is the most probable.

Sometimes the fluke scenario occurs. It's far from over.

2 road games. Let's have some home games and dominate.

Seattle,Rams,Saints,49ers,Bears, Raiders plenty weak. Win the big home games against Denver,Zona,GB,Philly and Minnesota. And neutral KC
