Mike Furrey Joins QB Kitna In 10 Win Prediction (1 Viewer)

[noneother]

The gap between Brees and Kitna is gigantic. The Saints excelled because they have a good OC and a good QB. Marginal talent everywhere but WR and Kitna at QB dosn't translate to 10+ wins.

I would challenge this statement.... Detroit's OC is not a SLOUCH... by anystretch... his work in Saint Louis was rather exceptional...What Martz did with Green, Warner, Bulger I have to think Kitna, will do better than 2/3 the other QBs in the leagueyes, Kitna is no Drew Brees...i agree Brees is a much better natural talent

DET - WR Furrey Joins Kitna In 10 Game Win Prediction

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article.../706270368/1048

By Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Detroit Free Press

Quarterback Jon Kitna has drawn a lot of attention lately for saying he thinks the Lions will win more than 10 games this season. But he isn't the only one with great expectations.

Said WR Mike Furrey, "Right now, on paper, we look like we should win 10 to 12 games, easily. We're seeing what we have, and we have guys in there now that believe in Marinelli. They believe in what we can do. And if you ask every one of us, we expect to win 10 games."

What do you think?

Time for the team Doctor to step and check the medication these two are on!!

why people even bring up the saints when talking about the lions is , they didn't even have any home games when they had a crap record.

Where did I say anything negative about Martz?

There's a lot of parity in the NFL, and a lot of cocky players. I think most players on most teams, if you asked them, would tell you that they think their team is a serious contender to win the Super Bowl. The fact that the Lions are setting the bar at 10 wins should tell you just how awful they are.As a Lions fan, I'm not real confident that they can improve on last year's record.

Hi SR,Do you think the Lions haven't improved any from last year? Or do you think the other teams are better? Or just cautious?J

They've improved on the offensive side of the ball, no question. But defensively, they've got serious problems which haven't really been addressed. The secondary is going to be really bad. While supposedly they're getting rid of guys who don't fit the Cover 2 (Dre Bly, James Hall) and replacing them with guys who do (DeWayne White, Travis Fisher), it seems like overall there's more talent going than coming.I suppose rationally I shouldn't expect them to be worse. Maybe something more like 5-11. I'm a little jaded as a long-time Lions fan though.

5-2 guys....1/2 way there.

Lots of people in this thread may end up looking foolish

I think they match up VERY well against they Bears this year.

They match up terribly with the Bears. They have a bad offensive line (According to Footballoutsiders, 32nd in the NFL for rushing, and 28th in pass protection in 2006). They can't run the ball. They also can't put pressure on the QB and have a porus secondary (30th against pass according to DVOA in 2006, and now without Bly).

Rex is typically terrible against teams with a good pass defense and torches teams with bad pass defenses and when he has time. The Bears D-Line will run through the Lions offensive line like it isn't even there.

This is a horrible horrible matchup for the Lions.

The Lions have absolutely no shot at sweeping the season series agaist the Bears and have about a 1% chance of winning 10 games Link.

This is why you don't make statements like this.

I think the whole "Manboobgate" deal with Kitna is the surest sign that the Lions will be Super Bowl Bound This Year!

(that said they will probably be the first 20+ point underdog in Supe History and not cover the number, but that's the NFC for ya)

The tough portion of the Lions' schedule is definitely yet to come.The next two are winnable and getting both would be HUGE.
