32 Teams in 32 Weekdays-Detroit
2017 Record: 9-7
The Lions had a pretty good season last year and were so close to making the playoffs, where they would try to get their 2nd playoff win since 1957. But they are the Lions and lose the games that they shouldn't and they found themselves outside of the playoffs yet again. Despite having this Matt Stafford guy as their QB who is the 10th highest paid athlete in the world! That's all sports, all athletes, all over the world... he is number 10.... and he has zero playoff wins....
Stafford of course is talented and puts up big numbers and Marvin Jones, Golden Tate and Kenny Golladay gives him three pretty darn good wide outs. The running game has been the problem for the Lions, really since Barry Sanders retired. They added Super Bowl winning LeGarrette Blount to go with Ameer Abdullah, if he isn't cut before the season, and Theo Riddick. They also drafted a full back in the 7th round of the draft this season, as well as used their first round pick on a guard, so hopefully that will help the running game, thus helping the passing game, and helping the team get to the playoffs and actually win a playoff game.
The Lions Defense also had a great season. In fact they scored the 4th most fantasy points of any defense last year. With their new head coach being the former Pats D cord in Matt Patricia you have to think that will help the Lions defense as well. And if the offense could actually get a running game going that would really help the defense. Maybe you guys should all fight to draft the Lions defense in like the 5th round or something. Matt Prater will once again be kicking for the Lions, and he continues the line of great kickers for Detroit, you could really say it has been the one position on the team that you haven't had to worry about since 1980 when Eddie Murray got there.
The Lions have one of the best actors of our time as their tight end, the man who has giving us such classics as Legally Blonde, Old School, my super ex girlfriend, my dog skip, Rushmore, and is the brother of another acting great Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson....checks notes.... wait, wrong Luke Wilson, sorry, this one came over from the Seahawks. He is a vast improvement from the last tight end they had who had a little problem with holding on to the football, which I hear is kind of important.
2018 Predictions: 7-9
New coach, expectations high and enough talent, but last season the other teams in their division were playing with a rookie QB, a back up QB, and a third string QB, and they still couldn't win the division, so if they can't do it then, they are not doing it now. They start off week 1 with a win against the Jets, but after that, they have a very tough schedule.
