Cardinals 38-31.
Cardinals up 38-10 in the 4th. Statsford throws 3 TD's in comeback mode to pad the stats.
This will be the hype train beginning of Kyler with all kinds of highlights stats of Lions wiffing tackles.
Periodically veering camera angles over to Fat Pat's gatorade castle on the sideline, chewing on his ear pencil.

Now if we win, I can be pleasantly surprised, if it goes as usual, I won't be disappointed. Win/win scenario.

If we lose this then it will be a long season without much hope. This is supposed to be one of the easiest games of the year.

If the DL can slow down Johnson then we might have a chance.
It always seems like whenever a hot new QB comes into the league, the Lions always play them and provide plenty of highlights to show all over NFL.com, ESPN and other mainstream news stations.

With the NFL Network ditching the Lions games twice (w1 and w4), I'm incline to note that the Lions don't have a very good season when their disrespected by major Networks.

I hope it was an error on my end why those games didn't record. But, I would feel better if Martha Firestone Ford came out and said: "I want wins" at the beginning of the season rather than half way through it. It's sad when I know the script has already been written for pretenders.

I hope your all proud of me for not using "sandbaggers," "schedule fillers" or "overpaid actors."

Lions 27 - Cardinals 20

I think the DL can stop Johnson. I am more worries about Johnson matched up against LBs and Murray running.

Cliff Kingsbury will be back in college within 3 years.

Not until after Lions hire him as their OC first.

This game will set the tone for the season. They lose it will be much like last season.

As much as I would love to see Fat Pat reign down fire from his Gatorade castle. I really hope we win. So tired of seeing these cunts underachieve.

The Love from ESPN...
Lions start the season with a 36-10 defeat in Arizona.
An 0-10 start for Matt Patricia.

Just a couple of 20,000 simulations that ESPN ran.

Only 2.5 point favorites (on the road though). That is still uncomfortable.

There is absolutely no way college boy Cliff Kingsbury out coaches Patricia’s defense. This is my Make The Lions Great Again Lock Of The Week.

Seriously, no team in the league should have any problems with the Cardinals this week.

* They're the worst team in the league personnel-wise
* Their coach is coaching his first ever nfl game
* Their QB is playing his first ever nfl game
* Their secondary is decimated

If the Lions somehow lose, or even come close to losing, Patricia should seriously be on the hot seat. There's no excuse.
