Would you guys be for/against trading out of the 1st round?

Lions have an easier schedule in 2015. If you are going the "easy schedule route, you better expect 13 and fucking 3 next year.

Lions are so good, they make a tough schedule look easy.

AFC West is easier than AFC East, especially with Denver at home compared to Pats on road. Chargers and Chiefs on par with Dolphins and Bills. Jets and Raiders both a mes. And NFC West is a mess now other than Seattle (who is beatable at home, see Cowboys last year). Rams have stunk forever and have no offense again, Zona has no offense and lost Bowles/Cromartie (and we finally ge them at Ford Field unlike last two years) and San Fran is a mess. Play the Saints again who are in cap hell (easy win). Another Lions win. NFC North is easier. Pack have defensive mess still and won't have the extreme health they had. Bears are a mess and we own Bridgewater (5 picks in 2 games). 5-1 in the North again. Philly is tougher than Giants but Chip Kelly is messing that team up. Easier schedule.

The GW Vikings field goal was from like 60 yards. Obvious miss. Jones blocked a FG. Great block, not luck, great skill.

Stafford played well. The run game was junk.

Nice to know you won't use that excuse next year should the Lions struggle.

However you're wrong as usual.

NFC West>NFC South
AFC West=AFC North

Eagles>Giants
Saints>2014 Cardinals with Stanton as QB

At least I have higher hopes for the Lions this year compared to the Tigers.

Tigers are 18-1 to win WS and 8-1 to win the AL

Lions are 40-1 to win SB and 20-1 to win the NFC

Generous odds for the Tigers imo.

Lions tied for 12th, Tigers are 9th... Comparatively close in rankings. Lions also arguably have a tougher road with Seattle/Green Bay being serious contenders, AL is more wide open.

Think it comes down to the Tigers are still the overall favorite in the AL central. Therefore expected to make the playoffs.

Green Bay is the Favorite in the NFC North, leaving the Lions to battle it out for one of the two wild cards.

Lions have a tougher road overall.

You are misinformed.

You underrate the NFC south and vastly ovrrate the NFC West. NFC West is junk now with Rams and 49ers problems and Zona lost Bowles and have major offensive problems.

Lions are even with Denver, Green Bay and Seattle (two of those 4 games at home) talent wise. And more complete than Green Bay really. And way better than everyone else. It's an easier schedule.

Stafford three for 150 yards....and we couldnt score. He sucked ass.

Pressure on him, Tate getting tackled twice short of the sticks, bad run game setting up long down and distance, Ross and Bell dropping balls in the redzone. Stafford played really well. Watch the damn tape, stat boy.

 

[mhughes0021]

Nope! He's making excuse on why we won. Same EXACT thing LKP does when we lose, but flip-flopped...no difference whatsoever.

Actially i was explaining to booger why i PREDICTED 10 wins last year. A prediction happens before the season starts so i wasnt doing any of what you say i was doing. I know youre too fucking stupid to actually follow along in a post before you spew your nonsense....but atleast try to sound smarter.

Nice job mayhew. No oline no run game and receivers that cant catch. Way to collect all that talent!

NFC West was 25-15 outside of their division and out scored their opponents by a total of 87 points. The NFC South was 10-29-1 outside of their division and outscored by a total of 227 points.

A lot can change but the NFC West is still heads and shoulders above the NFC South.

NFC West played joke of NFC East and joke of AFC West. NFC West had the easy schedule. They are overrated. 25-15 means nothing for them.

Oline can block when healthy. Bell can catch. One drop. Rare getting tackled quickly game by Tate. Ross will be replaced in the slot.

We won the game. Great job Mayhew. Great job Stafford leading 3 FG drives and a TD drive and would have had more. Vikings defense is decent enough.

The NFC South was by FAR the worst division in the NFL. Every single team had a losing record and a negative point differential. They were pathetic!!

Marc Sessler didn't watch the tape.

Lions are Super Bowl bound.

His reasoning echoes what many on this board fear.

At least Dallas is on that list as well.
