I think the Lions will win their division next year. Right jedi? :D
haha. That is a bold prediction.
Id say all 3 other teams have a 95% better chance to make it.
The Lions have always been a few pieces short, but they seem to have added a few pieces this year. I'd love for one of the Bears division rivals to be at least average and present some competition for them.
I could see the Packers making wildcard this year.
FO sho if they pick up Moss.
I say the Broncos make the wild card this year unless all our new people click well and we win the division against SD somehow.
I doubt it. Chiefs have a better chance of that.Quote:

Couple that with the fact that we need another top notch WR and thats what I want to see them do. Also, you notice all those guys who go in round 3 or later and turn out to be better than 1st round talent? That never happens here. So we have to go after the top rated players :p
Let's be honest, though, even your first round guys haven't been turning out like first round talent. :DQuote:

Mike Furrey caught 98 passes for the Lions last year. Receiver is not a need for Detroit.
I was waiting for someone to point that out. Yes Mike Furry caught 98 passes, he was awesome last year. However you have a #1 calibur WR in Williams, then you have a good slot receiver (lets be honest Furry is a slot guy), then you have nothing. Nothing. You have no one on the other side who can draw attention or stretch the field. You have no one to play the slot if Furrey is out wide. This offense needs another guy with speed.
Now you can argue that WR is not their greatest need and I can see your point. But to say its not a need at all is off base. My original point is if you stay at #2 in the draft and Johnson is there I think the Lions have to take him. They need a WR (maybe not as much as a MLB or something) but with a guy like Johnson sitting there I say you take him.
SD will be lucky to end up 2nd in the AFC west, whole new coaching staff, new offense... lame performance in free agency, they will be lucky.
yea a lot of people are saying that. who knows. That team is so talented though...
I dont know much about the new head coach, but what Ive read isn't good.
