2020 Detroit Lions schedule: Dave Birkett's game-by-game predictions

Birkett has us 8-8 and says the schedule looks tough. I disagree. This looks to be the easiest schedule in a long time. If we dont have a breakout season with this schedule then theses guys could be done. I will wait till preseason games are close to done before making any predictions. A mostly new O-line and D-line need to come together. Both need to gel if it is going to work.

I know ESPN has us as 8-8, but if you look at the breakdown of other teams we are 2-14. So hurray for math!

Seeing a lot more stories now confirming our schedule is in fact easy. Also, no game in London so that is good. Hopefully never again.

Lions start off 0-4.

NE clown show experiment is over with dual firings.
MP gets kicked out of Cici's for eating too much and trying to fingerbang the waitress.
News gets out and he is unable to find work again in NFL.
Tries to get job at space X. Fails the interview after failing to make paper airplane.

BYE

OC promoted to HC
New Life breathed into the team
Weeks 6-8: 3-0
Week 7: Loss at Vikings
Weeks 10-14: 4-0
Week 15: Loss at Titans (Henry tramples over J.Davis, Davis immediately retires)
Week 16-17: 2-0

Lions secure wild card with birth at 9-7

Wild Card: Stafford gets first playoff win in his hometown of Dallas with last second TD 28-24, JJ has heart attack and dies from excitement and Tre Flowers rips out Zeke's nose ring on running play.

2nd round: reseeded @ Vikings. Lions win 30-13. Okudah gets 5 INT's. Cousins gets another 100 million guaranteed from some dumb ass in the off-season.

NFC Championship- Lions 24-Bucs 21: The Lions fearsome TE tandem is too much. Hock and Jesse James combine for 3 TD's and Hock even blocks the game tying field goal.

Super Bowl- Lions 37-Browns 35: Prater hits game winning field goal with 0:00 remaining on the clock. Then proceeds to set Guiness book of world records with 11 minute keg stand. 3 oldest Ford's all die of rona and the new CEO scraps their shitty transmissions and makes a new one that doesn't jerk you around.

The end.

This could so totally happen. You left out our D-line getting 10 sacks a game though.

A more realistic scenario is we start out 0 and 4 Martha decides to hire an outside firm to decide the future of the front office. We'll call this firm exNEpat enterprises after looking over the last few seasons the firm decides they like what they see and advise Martha to give both BQ and MP nice long fully guaranteed contract extensions.

Lions are one of only two teams (Skins) without a prime time game. That's an indictment of what's been going on with this team. The league was well aware that Stafford was out for the last half of the season, but apparently doesn't care. Embarrassing.

Guaranteeing Lions losses is trolling? How does this board have any members left?

True. Lions fans are harder on their team then most. That being said the Bears are a dumpster fire. Bears and Skins might be the only wins. Maybe the Panthers.
