Will The Detroit Lions Win A Football Game This Year?
With the first pick in the draft (Matthew Stafford) this year the lions are looking to finally get a win after going 0-16 last year. The lions are playing very good this pre season with a 3-1 record they are tied first with the Packers, Bears, and Vikings for the NFC North. Matthew Stafford is looking like he will have a good year this year with 389 passing yards, 1 touchdown and completing 30 of 55 passes so far this pre season. Calvin Johnson is also having a good pre season for as little as he has been playing catching 6 passes, and having a 123 receiving yards. The lions are first in the league averaging 394 rushing and passing yards this pre season and second in rushing yards averaging 173. The offense looks pretty good, but looking on the other side of the ball it doesn't look to good for the lions. I would give the defense a D- for their efforts this pre season. They average 19 points scored on them a game (15th in the league), average 299 yards a game (9th in the league), and average 111 rushing yards a game (18th in the league). This is just a piss pour effort from the defense. But thank god for lions fans that its only the pre season. You can watch the lions this Sunday play the Saints to see if they get that first win this year.

hahaha.. i love that write up. I hope that they win atleast one game this year. to go two years without a win would be the worst thing i may ever see
ReplyDeleteHonestly pre season football is a joke. After the better team shows potential,starters are taken out and the team doesent show their true colors. Im definently a huge fan of calvin johnson though. The lions have had a couple of decent quarterbacks in the past so i dont know if thats the problem with their team. Good luck to matt stafford.
ReplyDeleteI could see the Lions winning a few but not very many, definitely not playoff material either. They have been looking decent on the offensive side of the ball, but if they're going to be in shootouts all year I don't see them winning much. The D is going to have to step up their game if they want to win any at all. It's still real early, though. Who knows maybe it will all fall together for them.
