TFoA Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Time to defend one of my (fantasy) players:What else do Lions fans want to hear Kevin Smith say? "We're gonna suck mightily, but please buy Lions tickets despite most of you folks losing jobs!"?I'm not saying the Lions are heading to the playoffs, but did anyone expect the 1-15 Dolphins to make the playoffs the next season, or the 16-0 Patriots to not make the playoffs the following year?Plus, the Lions are in a division that was relatively weak in 2008. A 9-7 record very well could win the NFC North.That is EXACTLY why I'm not dismissing this as crazy talk. The NFL's landscape can change on the drop of a dime, this could damn well happen.

Saintsfan Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I love the heart here, and I do have some hopes for this season, but really, playoffs?On his personal blog, Smith34.com, Detroit Lions running back Kevin Smith(notes) predicted, no wait, promised the Lions will make the NFL Playoffs in 2009. It makes you wonder, did he watch the video tape?"I won't make a prediction about how many games we're going to win, but I will say this: We will definitely make the playoffs this season."Believe it or not we weren't far off last year. Almost every game we could have won, we were one play or one player short. Except for Tennessee on Thanksgiving, they just came out and beat us to sleep. They manhandled us, but nobody else did.''The Lions weren't far off? They were 0-16.The Lions have made a bunch of good off season moves that aren't necesarily top headline material, but I do think the Lions are pretty well set up for 2009, bearing made how bad 2008 was. I think Culpepper can lead the offense pretty well for a lot of 2009 and take the pressure off Stafford's progression, I think the defense in particular has upgraded significantly. And Schwartz has impressed me as a coaching appointment do far. Seems a good guy, so far quietly going about getting a half decent team together. The playoffs? Well who knows, why shouldn't they finish ahead of the Vikings and Packers for certain, and the Bears I think are putting a lot of faith in what a new QB can do for your team! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
