PrintUPDATE: The Detroit Lions' full 2011 schedule has been released.
Because it's never too early to look ahead, below is a quick peak at the Lions' 2011 schedule. The exact dates and times won't be released until April (assuming a CBA is in place by then and there is actually a need for a schedule), but right now we know which teams are on the Lions' 2011 schedule.
Home Games
Green Bay Packers
Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
San Francisco 49ers
Kansas City Chiefs
San Diego Chargers
Away Games
Green Bay Packers
Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dallas Cowboys
Denver Broncos
Oakland Raiders
On top of playing the other three NFC North teams, the Lions also play the entire NFC South and AFC West. Detroit plays the Cowboys and 49ers as well. Both of those teams finished in third place in their divisions (the NFC East and NFC West), which is why they will play the Lions next season.

We might depending on are offseason
To defend them we need a upgrade at linebacker right now and a run game. Best way to beat Drew is to keep him on the bench.

roddy white is 2nd in the nfl in receiving yards.

roddy white has a arguable top 5 QB

roddy
does have a great QB throwing to him, but he is still an animal. Not as good as CJ of course, but he is still easily a top 10 WR. I agree with the Profiler…we are playing some top tier passing offenses and will need a solid secondary to survive

7 wins in there?
Hard to predict, what with 4 game winning streak euphoria still riding high. But I figure, 3-5 in the NFC Central, road wins possible against Oakland and Denver, home wins possible against the Panthers and 49ers? Vulture an upset somewhere, maybe another playoff hope killing blow against the bucs, and maybe 8-8 if reachable. It could happen. If the season happens.
I'm expecting 100% improvement from the Lions this season.
We should
get 3 wins out of the NFCN, and I don’t think any of our home games are unwinable (except for maybe ATL)

green bay is a possibility.
But here’s hoping for The Andrew Luck led Carolina Panthers and the first in a long line of victories for the lions on ye ole thanksgiving day.
The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer
I'd say ATL or maybe a divison game
How about we play the cowboys on thanksgiving lol

At this point, I pretty much expect wins over the vikings, panthers, 49ers, vikings, cowboys, broncos, and raiders. That’s 7 wins right there. I also think we have a fighting shot with the packers, bears, chiefs, and bucs, so splitting those would make it 9. Get it done, lions.

lets open with san diego, the earlier the better against them.

I’m a Zoneie and would have loved to climb the Jacumba Pass and I-8 to see the Bolts and Lions. First choice would have been the Lions @ Arizona. Red bird feathers would have been everywhere…

Damn I wish our 2011 schedule included the flippin JETS!!!!!
I hate them with all of my being
Life is being on the wire, everything else is just waiting.
I'm no analyst but it looks to be on par with our difficult schedule from 2010
Rounding out the year I’d say there’s much hope for the Lions in 2011. If we can go into Tampa Bay and win, and then TB wins big against Seattle and on the road against New Orleans what does that say about us?? I know teams have good and bad days but I look at that as a sure sign of things to come.
I see a nine win team here with a minimum of 4 wins against divisional opponents, but here’s hoping for more. We will have to be even more prepared next year though because teams aren’t going to look at their schedule and see a sure win against us.
Go Lions!!

I think this schedule is a little easier this year
But you can never truly tell.
RIP Robyn Bailey 1961 - 2010. I love you mum.
Yeah too early to tell.
We will have a better idea after the offseason but a real good idea after a couple of games next season.
Your first comment on this site. And that is it???? - JCruize
Need to see the off season moves...
But I am confident that the Lions will improve their roster. I am also confident that the defense will become better. In fact, I think the Lions have a decent shot at being a top ten team in BOTH defense and offense next season. That is predicated on the continued dominant play of the defensive line, better personnel in the back 7, and improved play from the younger guys. The “way too early” prediction on the schedule is…
The Lions win ALL of their home games. Atlanta will be tough, but I am betting they will have a down year again next season. They seem to be on a one up then one down cycle and I am hoping that continues.
The Lions will win road games against the Vikings, Buccaneers, Broncos, and Raiders.
That will give the Lions 12 wins and a 4-2 record in the division for the NFC North title.
Pass the kool-aid and cornbread please!
