For at least the couple days
Not bad for a team that was predicted by some to have the worst record in the leagueā¦
There was actual 0-16 talk on 247 because we were 0-4 in Preseason
To be fair, a lot of it was comparing that to 4-0. All the āwhat if?ā scenarios.
Didnāt ESPN have us at 0-11?
I just remember 3-13.
And we are currently the #3 Seed!
Yep, and firing Patricia. Like we said when we read it, they had to comb thru and hand pick the one simulation out of 20,000 that had the Lions completely chitting the bed and the Packers running away with the division.
Yeahā¦ no one thought they would go 0-16.
USA today had 3-13. Michael Lombardi said Lions would have 1st OA pick.
Thatās why you play the games.
How does an NFL team go o-11 and there are 16 games in season?
Or are you saying they were going to lose their first 11 games and then win?
the focus should be on our opponent, not how we are #1 in our division.
technically itās still possible, minus that stupid tie.
the focus should be on our opponent, not how we are #1 in our division.
Agreed.
On to the Chiefs.

Yes, thatās what he was saying. They had us starting 0-11 and then firing Patricia around Thanksgiving. Then we win 3 or 4 games to close out the season with a new coach.

Thanks for clarifying

Might as well only have a thread about the Chiefs game then

As fans we can look at more then just the current opponent, now the team needs to focus on the Chiefs. In the end unless we are going to the game and making crowd noise there is nothing we as fans can do to help or hinder the Lions
Not me for me today!
I am relishing in the fact of the moment!!
We own the division and the third seedā¦ for 72 hrs!!
Then that may change or it may not!!

Itās a long season. The Lions can still be 2-13-1 or 15-0-1. You never know.
Every one of their games could have went either way.
