Full Look at the Detroit Lions' 2010 Schedule

HELL atleast a late afternoon game roger come on.

The Lions and Vikings will be playing for the division title NBC here we come.

Guess the days where you could go from 4-12 against a first place schedule to 11-5 against a last place schedule, to back to 6-10 against the big boys are gone.

I kinda miss the Wayne Fontes era…

obviously draft, injuries and other things can change that

WTF MAN?

I was hoping maybe, just maybe they’d have enough sympathy to give us the NYJ game a prime time spot, considering it’s a game a lot of people probably actually want to see.

The shitty as redskins get 3 Sunday night games and a Monday night game…and we can’t even get one sunday night game? wow

6-10 with a sweep of Chicago, wins vs STL, Wash, TB, and Buffalo

I would honestly be pretty happy with that, especially if they play hard in the loses.

esp with two home games out of the gate after the bye & 6/10 at home after the bye. first six will test the young team in a big way…second half we see the character test and how much schwartz & co can coach ’em up.

Well, I wanted to see the Bears for the first game, but I would have liked to play them at home. I think they will be ripe for an opening game plucking.

To be honest, I think this is a pretty tough schedule. I mean, any schedule for Detroit is tough… but this one doesn’t seem to favor us in any way. Start on the road, first three of four are on the road, all three divisional opponents on the road before the bye, New England on Thanksgiving, ending the season against Minnesota… sheesh. This is gonna be a tough year.

If we win more than 6 games, we will have REALLY improved as a team. If that happens, I will erect a statue of Mayhew in my front yard and bow to it each day as I leave for work (and yes… I know that I just used the word “erect” and have now opened myself up for every penis joke known to man).

1-5 at the bye

5-11 overall

I would be alright with that as long as we are competitive against the division.

I know the Lions are better on paper this year already….the draft will help that even more with Suh or McCoy or whoever they take. It is a TOUGH schedule this season. I’m not even going to start predicting because I don’t know how the other teams are going to be….how we are going to be….nothing. It’s truly going to be an interesting season.

I have no doubt we’ll be improved this year…..but man, that’s a pretty tough schedule. We’ll have to man up early in the year. I think I’m going to try and make the Pats game on Thanksgiving

17 January 2, 2011 vs. Minnesota Vikings 1:00 PM FOX
Will they be resting starters for this game? Optimist 15-1 Pessimist 5-11

Well if you drink Suh Berry Kool Aid were headed for 15-1 LoL we all know that is not happening. But even looking at it realistically we can expect 5-11 at minimum. I agree 8-8 is likely and 10-6 is still sipping on the Kool Aid. I know I have us beating Minnesota at the end and a lot of people think that will not happen but hey its at home and half their starters will rest.

Chicago (1), Minnesota (1), St. Louis, Dallas, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, and Miami.

I think the Lions team might function a little bit like the Texans this year with a pass-happy offense and a good pass rush, but questionable secondary. I think they can beat some seasoned teams like Dallas and Miami, who might have their guard down.

Both Chicago games are winnable. Philadelphia still doesn’t have a #1 QB or a proven RB. Who knows who’s gonna be calling signals in Minnesota. St. Louis is gonna be bad. We get Washington after the bye week. The Bills have zero offense. I could go on, but on paper, 6-10 at the least is not unreasonable.

We should start planning our trip now! I vote going to the sanchez vs stafford game

I’m thinking around 5 – 11 would be a solid season and that’s waht I’m hoping for. 2 – 14 could be very possible again though if things don’t go our way.

would like to see us beat CHI first game out. Lions need some division wins to even be close to showing the team is turning around. Lions haven’t won against a division rival since October 28th, 2007 against the Bears. That must change!
