Detroit Lions 2009: May the Schwartz be with us.

It is pretty common among the NFL for most draft picks to fizzle out after a few years. The average life span of an NFL player is only 3.5 years.

So what's your point? It's not like this kind of thing only happens with the Lions. Please don't construe this as I am defending Matt Millen, because I think he ran this team into the ground.

Things are looking up for the boys and we will be in the playoffs in the next couple years.

Yeah, but the idea is to find a little wheat in the chaft there. Millen got bubkis!!!! Chaft. The Lions are going to be like the Hebrew slaves in the Ten Commanments when they gotta go out and get the stubble from the fields to make their bricks that day to get a few wins this year.

I actually hope they get a top 5 pick again next year so we can get Taylor Maze.

It's gonna be real tough for both these things to happen. Smart gamblers would put a lot more $$$ on the later.

I think they have a shot at 8 wins. The 2nd half of the schedule is probably the easiest in NFL. I'd love to see them get Taylor Maze, which isn't happening if they end up with anything more than 5 or 6 wins.

While I hope you're right, logic dictates that both of us are firmly entrenched in our own fantasies.

So the Lions are going to go 4-4 on the road this year including wins at Chicago and Seattle?

I think the lower case W mean they cover the spread. Even then I wouldn't hold my breath...
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2009: May the Schwartz be with us.

Cleaning out my email and found this:
One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living.

All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

However, little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic
dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good,
he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?" "No," the boy said, "He plays for the Detroit Lions, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.

They'll beat St. Louis and Cleveland, and maybe Cincinnati and San Francisco.

3-13 until I see evidence otherwise.
 
Re: Detroit Lions 2009: May the Schwartz be with us.

No. The D-line is too weak to hold up to Peterson, and the secondary is in trouble against Rodgers and Cutler. And they sure as hell aren't winning in Arizona or at Chicago, either.

This franchise has earned absolutely no benefit of the doubt whatsoever. I've got to see results before I believe in anything.

The Arizona game is at home and they are overrated. I think we have a good shot at winning that game. I'm not convinced that Chicago is as good as advertised.

I am looking forward to Sunday. If we can keep it close I like our chances.

Am I the only one who is surprised that you are trying to have an intelligent discussion of Lions Football with Billy?

Hammer, you are better than that.

I apologize oh wise one. I was under the impression that this was a thread to discuss the Detroit Lions upcoming season. Please forgive me for being excited about it. Crawl back in your hole and continue to be a debbie downer. You were probably one of those guys that just started being a fan of the Tigers in 2006.

Aww, don't like being called a tool? There's a differece between being optimistic, and being deusional. No real point in coming up with concrete examples, since you'll ignore them anyway.
