Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

2 Division Rivals get a bye week ahead of game with Lions

Schedule makers ensure Lions will struggle

Star-divide

Does anyone else find it interesting that a 2008  0-16 team would get a 2009 schedule that includes a bye week for  2 division rivals the week before their game with the Lions?

Green Bay and Minnesota have 2 weeks to prepare for 1 of their matchups with Detroit.

Talk about stacking the odds against the Lions!!!!!

Who reviews these schedules, Stevie Wonder?

I only hope that Detroit capitalizes on their bye week opportunity. There are definitely 4 or 5 wins possible after the break. It's time for the Lions to turn the corner.

Green Bay and Minnesota should be complaining

Wouldn’t they rather have a bye week to prepare against a team that they need help to beat?

It’s kind of a waste, for them, to get a bye week to prepare against a team that they were probably going to beat anyway.

2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

It doesn’t matter we probably won’t win anyways. I am thinking we can win 4 games this year. We might steal a game on thanksgiving if we play really well. It is a traditional game.
