Well hard to imagine winning 15 games and then following that up with 14 the next season. But I didnāt see us winning 15 last year and sure as hell didnāt with the injuries the team suffered. I know one thing though, DC is going to absolutely love all the doubters. Can only imagine what some of his speeches are going to be like!!!
Theyāre going to have a damn good team, they are going to compete for a Super Bowl and they will win 10 games in the regular season and will have to fight tooth and nail to make the playoffs.
I think losing one of the best defensive players in the nfl in week 5 and then sweeping the north while winning 15 games says a lot. Keep doubting this team.
This is not a news flash. There arenāt a lot of easy teams on our schedule. Regular season success this year is winning the NFC North. If we do that and arenāt crippled with injuries again, that gaunlet of competition will have prepared us well to preserve our status as the only NFC North team to have never lost a Super Bowl.
I donāt think anyone is doubting the Lions. They have a very good team but the NFL is a competitive league and the Lions schedule is going to be very stiff. A lot of things have to go right to win 15 games. I think a team like the Niners isnt as good as the Lions but they will probably finish with a better record than the Lions by 3+ wins. Thatās the NFL.
If you think that you must think the Lions are a 8-9 win team. I have the Lions winning 12 games this upcoming year and I doubt the Niners are a 15-16 win teamš
Strength of schedule is always different once the season starts. As we know injuries can take a toll and who knows what teams will look like in week 1 or week 8 of the season. If the lions win 11 games, which is very possible, you have SF with 14 wins? I donāt even have SF winning their division.
Especially teams losing their qb⦠It can go from great to bad in a hurry when Tim Boyle is taking the fieldā¦lol most teams have a shitty backup. Just aint enough good qbās out there.
I have the Lions winning 10 -11 games and the Niners winning 13-14 and getting the 1 OA seed. Oddsmakers have the Lions line set right at 10.5. I donāt think the Niners have a great team at all but they have a good enough team to roll through their cupcake schedule.
