The definition of a Fuck Lion.
Finally, people can stop feeling bad for the Detroit Lions. It went from pretty funny that they went 0-16… to hilarious when they lost 19 regular season games in a row.
In my NFC North preview, I projected a record of 4-12 for the Lions, in last place in their division. Was that too many wins, or too few? I’m going to go through the rest of the Detroit schedule and see what games seem probable to go in the Lions’ favor.
Here’s the schedule for the rest of the Lions’ season. First of all, I really don’t see them winning any games in their division. Chicago, Green Bay, and Minnesota are all very competitive this year, but I guess if I had to, I’d say that the Lions would have the best shot for a division win in the last week at home against the Bears. Another possibility would be at home against the Packers, and I choose those two only because Chicago and Green Bay don’t have fully capable running backs. Matt Forte was great last year, but so far he hasn’t done anything outstanding, and neither has Ryan Grant.
As for outside of the division, the Lions play the St. Louis Rams at Ford Field in Week 8, and the way the Rams have been playing, that game is very winnable. Detroit also has the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 11, which could be a piece of cake. Finally, to just throw another one in there, let’s say that the Lions beat the Cincinnati Bengals on the road, because that way my prediction is spot-on and the Bengals are good at fucking things up in situations where it seems damn near impossible to.
There you have it, I’m always right. Now you assholes can stop picking the opponent of the Lions every week in suicide pools. Dickheads.
[...] that would have let me save my pick of Baltimore for later on this season, but I’m over it. See my Detroit Lions post from earlier this week if you want to see the Lions picks for the rest of the season. This week is [...]
[...] In this post, I said that there was a possibility of the Lions beating the Bengals, because the Bengals know how to screw up in situations where it seems impossible. I don’t really believe that now, seeing how both teams have played this season. Cincinnati over Detroit [...]
