Here is a very simple preview for the Lions upcoming season
Tampa Bay- Win, I like the lions in this matchup with the bucs having some key injuries and the lions being relatively healthy and coming off of a great preseason. (1-0)
Kansas City-Win. I see the D-Line absolutely destroying Cassel in the backfield here. The chiefs simply don't have enough offense to put up 28 points, which the lions should be able to score consistently this year. (2-0)
Minnesota- A mental lapse with the presence of Adrian Peterson brings us to a loss. McNabb gets good looks at secondary because of our concern with Peterson. (2-1)
Dallas-Win, personally, I don't think that Dallas is very good, the only key is to get pressure on Romo (3-1)
Chicago-Loss, our offense struggles to run the ball which results in too much pressure on Stafford. (3-2)
San Fransisco-Win, simple, they have no offense. (4-2)
Atlanta-Loss, simply lose to a better opponent (4-3)
Denver and Chicago-Wins, due to significant pressure on the QB's, rebound win against the Bears. (6-3)
Carolina-Win, they have no offense to compete with the players on our d-line and offense. (7-3)
Two losses follow to New Orleans and Green Bay, very tough and important games for us, if we get one of these it would be huge for making the playoffs! (7-5)
Two wins against Minnesota and Oakland, two simply mediocre teams (9-5)
Two losses at San Diego and Packers (9-7). If we want to make the playoffs we have to beat the packers at least once, and sweep the vikings and/or the bears. I think we will end the season at a 9-7 record and just miss the playoffs, but much improvement on the previous years!
