Lions schedule rest of the way

[biggunsbob]

Standings.

Chicago 3-2.
Minnesota 3-2-1.
Green Bay 2-2-1.
Detroit 2-3.

It looks pretty tough to me but there are some winnable games. Need to sweep Chicago and split with Minnesota somehow that’s a 3-1 mark . Need to beat both the bills and cardinals on the road in back to back weeks that is 5-1. Probably losing at a Green Bay the end of the season that is 5-2. @dolphins , Seahawks at home, panthers at home, rams at home . Dang that is probably 2-2 at best, and probably 1-3. Best case Scenario is 6-5 or 7-4 and a finally mark of 10-6 or 9-7.

Dare to dream !! What does everyone think ? Man I wish we had both the Jets, and 49ers game back !

@ Miami 4-2.
Seahawks 3-3.
@ Vikings 3-2-1.
@Bears 3-2.
Panthers 3-2.
Bears 3-2.
Rams 6-0.
@ Cardinals 1-5.
@ Bills 2-4.
Vikings 3-2-1.
@ Packers 2-2-1.

LA. I don't see any trouble outside of that. Cream-puff city. On the other hand those cities look at us and say the same.



Still don't anticipate more than 8-8.

I'm sure that NE and GB would love to have a do-over with the Lions too!

I'm sticking with my original prediction of an 8-8 season

 

[LKP]

Lions can get to 10 or 11. Got to win the games they should


Also fun fact
Lions 21-10 since 2013 season in divsion games
Vikings 18-11-2
Packers 16-15-2
Bears 6-25


Lions 9-1 in last 10 vs Bears. Beat the Packers 3 games in a row now. Never lost in the Vikings new stadium (2-0). Lions take care of division teams and they got a shot

 

[tigermud]

8-8 at best

 

[grandy]

I don't see an "easy" game until the Cardinals. I'm sure the Lions will win a couple but all I see are coinflips at best.

- I think Miami is worse than their record indicates, highly winnable but not a given
- Seahawks aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Run-heavy team and I'm not sure if the Lions can handle that well. Seahawks will be coming off a bye week
- Vikings have fallen off a bit, but facing them on the road won't be favorable
- The Bears defense proved to be human yesterday and I could see Tate doing what Wilson just did to them, going to depend mostly on how good or bad Trubisky plays
- Haven't followed the Panthers much, home game should help, I know their pass D hasn't been all that good this year
- Bears again, on T-day this time, like the Lions a little more at home
- Rams will be extremely tough and I'm already chalking that up as a loss, Lions get some extra rest but unfortunately the Rams will be coming off a bye week

Going with 3-4 or 4-3 at best during this stretch, no real juggernauts prior to the Rams but no slouches either

That'll put the Lions at 5-7 or 6-6 going into the final quarter of the season, which surprisingly may still keep them in the North race this year

The Bills game worries me a bit, they've actually been a tough play at home this year and weather might play a role in that game

5 more wins if Stafford gets his head out of his ass. Mia Sea ari bills chi. 7 wins max. Hoping for 5 wins total to get a top 8 pick... we need an impact player on defense in the worst way.

Cream puffs??? lmao. Man, you really don't watch football, do you?! The only easy game I see on there is Arizona. Even the Bills will be tough.
Smarten up....

Ya, that Lions D is clicking on all cylinders!!!!! Destroying dudes!!!! Right? lmfao.

A shot for what? To lose a playoff game?

I see exactly what you see. Outside of AZ and maybe the Bills, there isn't an easy game left on the schedule. I do see a lot of competitive matchups, many of which could easily go either way.

 

[thehippo73]

I'm not even gonna try to predict what we will do the rest of the way. I had us at 3-2 at this point of the season with losses to the Packers and Patriots. We could go 2-9 or 9-2 the rest of the way. This team is one of the most unpredictable that I've ever seen.

Only GUARANTEED game on the rest of the schedule is a L against the Rams. Other than that.....week to week basis.

For sure, man!! Like I said, the Bills play tough. Their offense is horrific but so is our defense. They play some really solid D on teams as well and this game isn't gift wrapped whatsoever. On the road. Only clueless individuals like Mitch see these games as cupcakes. It's fucking comical....

That rams D falling apart at the seams though. Should be an old fashioned shootout with the Rams coming out on top...

 

[mhughes0021]

D is terrible which is exactly why we put so much pressure on Stafford to perform. Everyone with half a brain knew we needed all defense last draft... we picked a lineman and rb. So now you need to outscore opponents cause we're not going to stop shit. Im not a crazy Michigan homer by any means but rashan gary then trade up for winovich and call it a draft!

Stafford is doing his job though.
And we drafted a very good OLineman and a stud RB. Everyone with half a brain knew we needed a run game. We got it now. You can't cover all your weaknesses at once. Defense has to wait. Their mentality going in with this defense was to try and plug some holes. It's working in some areas and some areas it's terrible. The 2019 draft is absolutely loaded with defensive players coming out. They need to focus on that defense. Especially that DLine and LBs.
I love that Winovich kid. He loves the game and he's a baller.

 

[manchild98]

Realistically I think they must win the next 2 games and the last 4 games on the schedule. That's the best chance for winnable games. Of course I don't think that will actually happen. Hopefully they keep improving week to week and the running game continues to grow.

 

[tomdalton22]

I didn't realize that Brock Osweiler is playing again this week. The Lions should be able to beat them....he sucks.
