Detroit Lions Hype?

On the offensive side of the ball especially. Stafford with a full year of experience. Added Best, Burleson and the Denver pass catching TE and hopefully a healthy Calvin all season and a couple of decent lineman.

Just having Suh in the middle should make the defense better by leaps and bounds.

How improved do you think this team is or are they still the same old Lions?

For me personally its a wait and see approach because Ive seen this team sell a bag of goods and not deliver for quite some time now. Sure it looks better on paper but thats not worth a thing once the games start counting.

Improving shouldnt be hard but is it possible they win say 8 games?

The "pass catching TE" you're referring to is named Tony Scheffler. C'mon man, he's on your team...LEARN THE NAME!

Besides division games, where they will be probably lucky to win 1 of the three, at home they get New England, New York Jets, Philly, Rams, and Washington.

I give them 2-6 or maybe 3-5 at home, if they are lucky

On the road, they have besides division games, they have
Buffalo, Dallas, Miami, New York Giants and Tampa Bay

With that schedule I think the best they can hope for is about 6-10, but I will say 5-11 is about right
