Wife made me watch this after the game as penance. Never watched the show before, but was not surprised to see his athleticism turned into some pretty decent moves out there on the dance floor. As I understand it, there have been a lot of football players who are really successful dancing on this show. Go figure.
Yes this is one of those rare seasons where most of the breaks seem to be going to the Lions now. It usually goes the other way. It's all good fortune at this point and let's enjoy it while it lasts. I think no matter what happens, Caldwell is going to need to win a playoff game to keep the job heading into next season.
Yeah, I've probably watched 5 episodes in my life (wife occasionally gets into it), but I've noticed that, too. I think it's just professional athletes in general who tend to do better. My theory is that they're insanely competitive and also disciplined enough to put the work in. Or maybe football players are better at being coached? Who knows?
unfortunately, or fortunately depending who your team is, I only see them winning one of the games you listed off
Most of those teams are not that good. The Bears really suck. GB has not been very good this year. NO has a terrible defense. The Giants are a better team and so is obviously the Cowboys. They may only win one more game, but two is more likely.
Want to make sure I got this right...
yep. what people forget is a LOT can happen in a month. also, who has Detroit beaten this year? the only team that jumps out is Washington, maybe Philly? Sure MIN I guess but how good are they really. furthermore, 3 road games in a row to end the season, 4 of the last 5 on the road! are you completely over looking that?
Green Bay game is in Ford Field. win their home games and I think they win the division at 9-7. having the h2h tie breaker over Minnesota is huge.
yes I misread. I still think gb is being overlooked. I will go on record with a 1-4 finish, sure
so they win a poor division maybe even at 8-8 and play the NYG in round1 at home? I don't get your point?? who has GB or Minnesota beaten???
Yes agree they likely win the division at 9-7. But it will still culminate in a one and done wildcard playoff loss on the road. I really hope they can find a way to get a home game.
no one. but you're not seeing the woods through the trees if you're not looking at the schedule of Minnesota and GB.
so you don't think MIN will beat Jacksonville, Green Bay (who you just said are in a free fall) and Chicago? because those seem like likely wins for MIN. Indianapolis looks terrible. so it's very likely MIN has a shot against them.
You mean the same defense that has given up 16,20,16,19, and 13 pts in their last 5 games? Their defense was really banged up early on and have gotten healthy as of late. You are not paying attention.
yea I knew that. I meant 1-3 in their first 4. regardless the point is anything can happen at any time of the season. most teams break their schedule into 4 quarters and focus on winning those quarters. it's a new quarter for everyone and some have more difficult schedules than others.
they are 4th in td passes allowed this season. and people in here are saying they will undoubtedly beat the saints... who have a qb who has thrown a td pass or two.
Nobody with a clue should ever say that walking into NO is going to be a win but it is certainly is a winnable road game. You can summarize and spin the numbers any which way you want. The Lion's gave up 17 of their 22 passing TDs against in their first 6 games. They have given up 5 in the last 5. Oh but the only thing that matters apparently is the bottom line number right? Pay no attention to how they've been playing with a lot of their key players back from injury.
Minnesota can at best go 4-1 I highly doubt they do. Indy with Luck can beat anyone, like they did at Lambeau. And they certainly can lose to GB.
Historically, this is simply not true. While a few super-elite QBs like Manning and Brady have displayed an ability to win a majority of their one-score games, for the most part teams revert to the mean. That doesn't mean that Detroit will automatically start losing close games, just that we shouldn't expect this run to continue.
Honestly, I think this is more of a statement of the current mediocre/below avg. state of the NFL play as a whole then a true testament as to how good or bad the Lions are this year.
Early returns on the draft class are good all-around. The first three picks - Decker, Robinson, and Glasgow - are all starters, Killebrew is making a big impact, and then late-round picks like Antwione Williams, Anthony Zettel and Dewayne Washington are getting some PT.
I have a hard time following this and similar posts that are written as if they are spoken in conversation rather than as if they are going to be read
