Remember when we were 2-0-1 and posters were saying, “Where are all the posters now that were saying this was only a 5-6 win team”?
I just wanted to apologize, I was one of those guys that said this was a 5 win team, 6 wins at best…I guess I overestimated them and gave the Lions too much credit and for that I must apologize!
Apology accepted. 
Being the optimist that I am, I said 4-6 wins.
HA! I was right around ten wins. In my defense i just finished a huge glass of cool aid. So there’s that.
And I “felt and hoped” we could get to 10 wins as well… but also lived in the reality it’s all guessing as we aren’t prophets!
Like tomorrow… I “think and feel” we can win it in Denver… I want us to win personally… but I have no clue what will actually happen…
So long story short… why lamet about the past as well? It’s a game
If the lions win 10 games and we’re in the play hunt - I would be thrilled. But they aren’t and this morning I awoke to beautiful blue sky’s and I am still alive!
Focus on that gratitude list we all have - not not about your guess of a teams win loss record being incorrect folks!!
Hug a loved one and enjoy this day we are given!! I am going to do my best!! 
Love you all!’
I was 7-9 to 9-7 range…oops
And for 2020!!!
19-0 until proven otherwise baby!!
Gotta start early!! 
Not apologizing for saying 10 wins and playoffs, but will caution you not to place bets on my prognostications!
Next year - 11 wins and a home playoff game!
I don’t think they can right that defense in one off season. Hell, they took a 9-7 defense and turned it into this.
I don’t think they can right this defense.
6 wins max next year and I’m being optimistic.
I had the Lions at 4-12 or 5-11, looks like I was a bit optimistic.
That is how much I thought Patricia was a dumpster fire.
Is there an archived thread with WL predictions? Would be fun to see how optimistic we all were
I think if you told people Stafford would be out by midseason they would change their predictions.
I figured with Patricia coaching, Quinn taking TEs in the top ten, and the way Stafford played last year, the Lions were going to suck big time. Two out of three of those things led the Lions to a 3 win season. Stafford played great, but Patricia sucks and the TE pick did very little to help the team win.
Making a prediction where the Lions are not rolling away with a playoff spot always gets you called an idiot, a hater, or Junior calling you dull and not understanding the intricacies of the NFL as only he and a few other people on the planet can.
Would it have really mattered?
Nice dig
That’s why they play the games…actually you are probably about right. I think they might even be around .500 with health. People say “every team gets hurt and you have to overcome” . The Ravens are 100% healthy right now. I think you’ll find the most healthy teams go further and win more.
yeah I said no less than ten games in 2019 or I’d be pissed off , I am pissed off…but there is nothing I can do about it , I had no idea the defense was going to be shattered like glass.
and in my book, no need to apologize being that nobody knew how it was going to play out.
all the posters here that envisioned a poor season were right.
