I think floor is 5 or 6 wins . Ceiling is around 11 wins. Key games are actually games one and two. If we start 2-0 -then I think we will win 12-13 games. Dare to dream. But I do not think we will win games one and two.

sorry...you are delusional as usual. The only team in the NFL with a floor of 10 wins is probably NE...and that might be a bit high, even for them.
If you look at it objectively, the Lions floor is probably 5-6 wins. The floor is when things go wrong. IMO, the Lion's ceiling is probably 11-12 games...and that is probably VERY generous.
Floor is worst case scenario and ceiling is best case.

We won 9 games with the worst injuries in the history of the NFL in 2016. 10 wins is a legit floor with not only better health but a team that made a lot of improvements
We won 9 with major injuries to Stafford for one quarter of the season, Slay, Ansah most of season, Abdullah/Riddick most of season, Levy (starting stud LB most of season) plus other injuries (Reiff/Swanson/Robinson in playoff run).
There is no worse injury scenario than that and they won 9. Saying 6-7 wins only from injuries is not correct

We had terrible injuries and won 9 games. The Lions improved in a ton of spots. It's very logical to make 10 wins the floor

concentrated injuries...worst in the history of the NFL!
Fact. No other team even had a single game missed by a starter because of injury last year. Only the Lions.

Do you think we will have more injuries than last year.
Stafford hurt 4+ playoff, Slay hurt 3 games, Ansah hurt most of season, Levy hurt most of season and played hurt 5 plus playoff, Swanson hurt, Diggs hurt 3 plus playoff, Abdullah hurt 14.5 plus playoff, Riddick hurt 6 and playoff. Bynes/Bostic were hurt, Reiff 2 games, Robinson playoff game
Lot of big names there. Still made playoffs with 9 wins.
One team can be healthier than other teams
Cowboys, Packers and Seahawks were all healthier than the Lions at the end of the season
