I actually think if Stafford can stay healthly and I know that is a pretty big IF. And if the defense (which i think is their biggest improvement) can stay healthy they might even have a shot at getting at least a wild card spot this year. So here is hoping they stay healthy and its GO LIONS GO. I know a lot of ifs but its the same for every team at this time of year one huge injury on offense or defense and it changes the whole picture in a hell of a hurry. Good luck to who ever your favorite team is at least this year my team will be competitive.

Thanks. They were 12-4 ATS last year. Probably won't see the big plus numbers this year.

Guy was just picking apart Indy at will in that 3rd preseason game.
So confident. If he isn't the best now, I'd like you to show me who is.
Aaron Rodgers carved up the Colts for 19-of-23 passing, 204 yards, and a touchdown in the Packers' third preseason game Friday night. He also scrambled twice for 10 yards. Rodgers was in midseason form, consistently threading needles and peppering Jermichael Finley (4-41) with targets. Finley was literally uncoverable for the second straight preseason game, though he was used much more extensively tonight. Through three exhibitions, Rodgers is 34-of-43 (79.1%) for 375 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He has 18 yards on three rushing attempts. Aug 26 - 10:13 PM

No doubt he is a hell of a QB but Greyhound watch out for my Lions i am really looking forward to seeing the Lions and GB matchup this year. Nice thing is we get to see it twice. The other thing is Rodgers has been around for a while now, give Stafford that same amount of time and if like i said he stays healthy he will be a great one too. Wait till we send Mr Suh after Mr. Rodgers. Our 34-10 win over the Pats was more impressive than your pre season win over the lowly no Manning Colts.

Preseason wins don't mean much. Stafford looked pretty good though.

the lions are far from being the worst team in the nfl... i think they will win between 7 and 9 games this year... they will beat a lot of good teams.

wouldnt be a surprise team, a lot of books got heavy action on the lions to do well... I read an article about the lions and how a lot of people bet them in the offseason, i think they said the lions were around +5500 to win the bowl and now at most books they are around +3000..

The bandwagon is getting large, will empty again in a few months.
Yeah, this is getting sickening and worrisome as a Lions fan...everyone is picking them to do well and as their so called "surprise" pick. They are not a surprise team by any means with the amount of love they are receiving. Hope this doesn't end up cursing them. BTW, Lions were pretty good last year, despite Stafford being injured, no where near being the worst team.

It's ok, everyone thought it was going to be Patriots vs Falcons when the regular season ended.
How the Patriots are going to kill the Jets again because of some previous game....lol
Improved but Lions will be Lions.

true, i really liked the lions as a surprise team for this year after last season but seems like everyone is on this bandwagon so ive cooled off and talking about detroit...they are everyones 'surprise team' now that i dont think there is any value betting on them now because everyone is 'on' them..the odds are correct or even a little skewed now towards almost overating lions... they are now +2.5 in week 1 . tb was a very high -3 (-117) at one point 1.5 months ago but everyone has hammered the lions..

i still think the lions are at least 1 or 2 years away from being a contender. they have a nice young team but they are not there yet..
I agree. Only because the NFC is so tough right now. The East has 3 potential teams, the South has has 3 potential teams and the North is one tough division.
And the Lions are not a surprise team this yeas as everyone is well aware of what the Lions are building.

They say in the NFL you have to have a great defense to win. From what i understand their defensive line is at the present time rated number 1 in the NFL. But its like Suh said rated number one dosen't mean anything until you go out on the field and prove it and he says thats exactly what we aim at doing. As far as offense i think they can keep up with just about anyone in this league. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I still have them pegged for 9 or 10 wins and in the tough NFC that might just get you a wild card spot. They are a lot better team than most of you are giving them credit for but only if they stay healthy.

Panthers, Bills and Jaguars might have pretty tough time ahead of them in the 2011 season. They will have 1, 2 and T3 toughest schedules this season, based on last (2010) year's result.
