Hello.
Ascension from a young Lions team to be more competitive than last year. Assuming reasonable injury luck. Several variables add up to the Lions going 8-9 this season IMO. Too many questions (mainly on defense) to assume anything better.
My season thoughts from last week:

Cody-
I would like to believe that the Lions are better than last year-
OL big question- pass/run: not sure they can. St. Brown is a player. Chark- Not sure what he brings. Swift decent-passing rushes (hands). Hockenson has some hands.
DEF going to give up points- decent with pass rush, however no run defense.
Interesting take you have on the current state of the Lions- just maybe not so good yet; hope I am wrong.Last edited by MXT; September 5, 2022, 11:29 AM.

OL is a big question? Are you sure you’re following the right team?F#*K OHIO!!!

I’d hate to see what you think about the rest of the team if your hot take about the strongest position of the entire squad is the biggest question markF#*K OHIO!!!

I'm predicting 7-10. 8 wins if we stay healthy.
Our offense is OK if Goff stays healthy. We need a backup but if Goff goes down early or is ineffective we could end up with Anderson or Stroud.
Our OL is our best unit but needs depth, especially at G.
We need a big DT/NT to stop the run. I wanted Brown but I guess we passed on him.
I'd like a hybrid LB/S who can cover TE and RB and spy running QBs. We give up too many yards to those guys.
We need depth at S. Our LB and secondary units are lame.
Rodrigo looks promising but I don't know if we can rely on a 6th round rookie.
I'm happy Okudah is healthy but I don't know if we can count on him to stay that way.
Fox might be the best player on the team. Our K is only OK.
I love our coaching staff, but I'm worried other teams may hire them away from us.
We are 2 years into a 6 year rebuild, and are on the right track.Last edited by kdk2002; September 5, 2022, 03:48 PM.

Originally posted by TheLondonLion View PostForget a 6 year rebuild. There’s no such thing in the NFL. And frankly no justification for it. A good GM and coaching turns it round in 3 years or less.
Plus, the Lions have been rebuilding for 60 years, so I think 6 is more than optimistic!

Teams can completely overhaul a roster in two years if they want to. It's been done. I know Lions fans want to believe that they are uniquely bad as a franchise, that they are somehow "cursed"... but they really aren't. They've really just had consistently awful ownership and front office management.
There's no rebuild that should even take four years if a franchise is committed to doing so.Last edited by chemiclord; September 5, 2022, 08:21 PM.
