You tried UM. That's all you can do.

UM doesn't get it. It's talent. Not math.

 

[detrisin]

This isn't math. This is football. Lions are the better team for all 8 home games plus have the home crowd. They are better by far than the Rams,Bears,Chiefs and Saints. It's pretty simple. They shouldn't lose at home (see Pats/Packers etc). And they can go 4-4 on the road given who they face.

Would I feel better at 1-1 sure. But 0-2 has nothing to do with the next 14 games. Lions talent will shine

Hmmm....I wonder if one of those teams, say the Rams, happen to be a better home team than road team. Can't be...doesn't fit your shtick.

getting dominated in the first two games has a lot to do with what might happen in the next 14 games. One team dominated them through the air and one dominated them on the ground. The Lions offense was also below average vs. teams that are not highly thought of. Ignoring what has already happened is foolish.

I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't get it. Or quite possibly you do get it and are once again choosing to play the fool on purpose.

I most certainly weighed in the Lions tremendous advantage in "talent" for all 8 of those home games. I gave them a 90% chance to win every single one of them based on this fantastic talent you keep saying they have. That is a considerable jump over the 51.14% chance they have displayed at their home games since 1990 http://www.sportingcharts.com/articles/nfl/home-field-advantage-broken-down-by-nfl-team.aspx. This was done to illustrate my point which you have conveniently ignored and brushed aside with your "math is dumb" counterargument. Bravo. I expect you to never use any type of math to make your trollish arguments ever again.

 

[LKP]

If the Lions are more talented by that much, which you claimed to use, they will win all 8 home games and the 4 road games I said they blow out the opponent. The talent means wins. There is 0% chance they lose.

You don't have to calculate a formula for that.

12-2 most probable. Talent not math

 

[LKP]

Lions Broncos. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Cards. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Bears. Lions more talented Lions win
Lions Vikings. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Chiefs. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Raiders. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Eagles. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Packers. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Rams. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Saints. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions 49ers. Lions more talented. Lions win
Lions Bears. Lions more talented. Lions win

And Lions look to be more talented than Seattle too.
Lambeau we could win too. We have a bye. Tough place to play and Pack close to our talent.

Lions Chargers. Lions up 21-3. Fluke bad game from Ihedigbo, Mathis and Tulloch. Refs allow def holding on second pick to set up short field for Chargers.
Lions Vikings. Peterson pissed off, 3 turnovers, fluke bad pass blocking. Moore was down, Jones was not offsides and block in back on Sherels punt return. Total crap

Give me Levy back and Waddle starting to end this madness.

talent? Those first two games...they didn't show much talent. They got their asses handed to them. Talented teams win on the road...or at least make it competitive.

They were competitive. I said why they lost above. Refs and flukes.

Broncos, GB, Chiefs are all more talented than the Lions. Vikings, Eagles & Rams are equals to the Lions. Lions more talented than Raiders, Bears & probably the 49ers (but I'm on the fence...they have a lot of new faces)

 

[LKP]

Lions are more talented than GB, Denver and Chiefs by a good amount and Vikings, Eagles and Rams.

 

[UMRules06]

Lol this is beyond absurd. Weve gotten to the point where LKP asserts that there is 0% chance the more talented team loses in the NFL despite claiming "fluke" losses so far by the lions.

Not sure how much more clear it can get that you are just a massive troll. Hopefully you get your comeuppance someday.

LOL...and the first two games of the season should be proof that the more talented team can win....since the Lions lost to both SD and MN...two teams he thinks are less talented than the Lions!

 

[dubbsco]

Newsflash: SD and Minny aren't that great. They are .500 teams.

When are we going to stop talking about TALENT?? And actually starting talking about CONTINUED SUCCESS? Who gives a flipping shit how much talent they have if they suck??

LKP is a world class troll. If the Lions could play football like he trolls they would win the SB every year!

 

[LKP]

Lions got the fluke losses out of the way to lesser teams. Time to for the talent to shine.

Lions are the true Super Bowl Champs since 2011 season and beyond.

 

[dubbsco]

Lions are the Josh Smith of the NFL. Hey, they got tons of talent, they'll put it all together SOMEDAY.

It's sad man. I think you do know football, I really do. But you got so warped by people actually being frustrated with the team and Stafford that you completely went upside down and had to counter opinions by going to the extreme. I wish you'd actually talk legitimate stuff.

comments like this are why this is funny

 

[LKP]

lions 12-2, 11-3 or 10-4 finish. No cyanide just yet

 

[cheeno]

I think it's time to ditch real life and explore alternate realities.

16-0 anyone?

Even the Sports Almanac says we lose.
