Apologies and Football

So, Life is crazy and causing me not to post... cause my mind isn't functioning. I apologize.

On the plus side, I'm posing now, specifically about football, even more specifically about the Detroit Lions, and how I think they'll play this season and what they're record will end up looking like (and trust me, they ain't makin' the playoffs.). I would also like to say that my predictions will be biased towards Detroit, giving them as much of the benefit of the doubt as I can.So, with that said, here we go:

Game 1: @Chicago
So, with all the pressure on Jay Cutler, and watching him fail (as I was living in Chicago at the time) makes me think that it's gonna be a repeat, particularly because I haven't heard of anything new coming out Chicago. This is a winnable game for the Lions... assuming they don't play like the same old Lions.
Win: Detroit (1-0)

Game 2: Philadelphia
Another Winnable game. This time with a better opposite receiving core, not to mention a quarterback who was lucky enough to study under Donovan Mcnabb. As much as I'd like to see the Lions win this one, our secondary is much too shaky, and there's no way it'll be any better in two games.
Win: Philly (1-1)

Game 3: @Minnesota
Two words: Brett Farve. I hate the man, and the Lions can't beat him. As long as he's with the Vikes (Or playing for that matter), the Lions lose.
Win: Brett Farve (And the Minnesota Vikings) (1-2)

Game 4: @Green Bay
So, Without good ol' Brett, the cheese-heads have managed to find a quarterback who's just as good. With a strong recieving core and a decent defense, I really can't see the Lions taking this one.
Win: Packers (1-3)

Game 5: St. Louis
The only team that was worse than the Lions last year. If we can't win this game, well, there's really no point in us having a football team... of course, maybe I shouldn't say that considering we just went 0-16... well crap. Ok, the Lions should win this one, period.
Win: Lions (2-3)

Game 6: @New York Giants
Another good team. A playoff caliber team with a playoff caliber quarterback. The Lions can't seem to catch a break. However, this is just the kind of game that the Lions would win sheerly due to the irony of the football gods. This is either going to be a slaughter or a lucky win.
Win: NY (2-4)

Game 7: Washington
Well, now they have a good QB. I can't say much for the rest of the team, but I know it's been a bit since they've been to the playoffs. If the Lions catch a break, Mcnabb will still be having trouble adjusting to the offense, and they can have a decent day.
Win: Lions (3-4)

Game 8: NY Jets
Now Detroit welcomes the black sheep of last years playoff race. However, there's a good chance (at this point in the preseason) that they'll be losing their star CB. This is just looking to be a Shootout between two Sophomore quarterbacks, both of whom have promising futures.
Win: Lions (Just barely though) (4-4)

Game 9: @Buffalo
Yet another game the Lions could win. We managed in the preseason... after going down 16-0, but who doesn't like a good comeback right? Well, this is a game the lions should win... which is why they will probably lose.
Win: Buffalo (4-5)

Game 10: @Dallas
Yea... so a perennially good club, even if they do choke when it comes to the playoffs. I'm not gonna lie, there's a better chance Barry Sanders will come out of retirement.
Win: Dallas (4-6)

Game 11: New England
Ooooh! yet another Thanksgiving classic. That is, a classic trouncing by U-M grad Tom Brady. I really don't understand why they let the Lions play on thanksgiving, there's much more interesting teams to watch as you slip into a food coma.
Win: New England (4-7)

Game 12: Chicago
This time, Chicago is coming to us. Another winnable game, yet if I'm right about game 1 of the season, I can imagine the Bears coming to look for revenge, and if Cutler actually manages to be everything Chicago needs him to be, well there's a good chance it's going to be a long day for the blue and silver.
Win: Da Bears (4-8)

Game 13: Green Bay
Well... at least we're not away. Lord knows Lambeau at this time of year is a death trap for any other team that's not dressed in bright green. However, even in the friendly confines of Ford Field, Green Bay is still good, and the Lions are still the Lions, even if they are improving.
Win: GB (4-9)

Game 14: @Tampa Bay
Finally, A game the Lions actually have a chance at winning. Tampa Bay hasn't been the same since winning the Superbowl years and years ago. I think this will be a prime chance for the Lions to take advantage of a team that isn't as good as they should be.
Win: Lions (5-9)

Game 15: @Miami
This could really go either way. Chad Henne (another U-M grad) is a good quarterback. At the same time, Miami's vaunted "Wildcat" offense was severely underwhelming last year if Detroit's going to win one last game, it's going to be here.
Win: Lions (6-9)

Game 16: Minnesota
Hahahahaha... ah, there's no way, just no way.
Win: Minnesota (6-10)

There ya go, 6-10... I think that's about the bast the Lions can do... I mean... I'd love to be a little more confidant, but I'm not an idiot, or a Cubs fan.
