Just kill me now. The first 4 games were supposed to be the easiest part of this schedule. We are now 0-3 with 3 blowouts to terrible teams. I was predicting 5 wins before the seasons started. Now I think that number needs to be cut in half.

I think I need to pick another team to watch on Sundays. Maybe New Orleans or San Diego will be my new team. GO SAINTS!!

A fine choice, a very fun team to watch....Congratulations on your new team.

At least watch the cowboys, they are a very vertical offense. The Aints well, I guess they are ok. but they do the igles thing. And their running back position is just another wideout position. And I love a good running game.

Green Bay is a horrible team? Hell, even the Falcons are 2-1, granted wins over Detroit and KC are hardly noteworthy. The 49ers are also beat a pretty good Seahawks team and their offense has looked good going back to the preseason.

Green Bay will end up 8-8 at best and their preseason rankings were even worse than this. The Falcons are pathetic and San Fran still has a ways to go. Yes, this was definitely the easiest part of the Lions schedule. Here is the balance of their schedule.
CHICAGO BEARS, at Minnesota Vikings, at Houston Texans, WASHINGTON REDSKINS, at Chicago Bears, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS, at Carolina Panthers, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, TENNESSEE TITANS, MINNESOTA VIKINGS, at Indianapolis Colts, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS, at Green Bay Packers
*Home games capitalized.
Odds are we don't win a road game this year if we couldn't beat Atlanta. The only realistic win I see is at home against Tennessee (but they are probably saying the same thing about us). I guess we have an outside shot of beating Chicago or Tampa at home. It's going to be a long year.

I think the titans are a borderline team. 7-9 maybe 8-8. The da-bears, and houston, are weak points. I think texas is probably your best chance for a road win.

Ya the Texans are the worst team by far right now. The jaguars can barely scrape an offense together after losing both starting guards. The Colts already lost to Chicago and barely beat Minnesota. Minnesota lost to the Colts, but beat Carolina who beat Chicago. Who cares about preseason rankings? Those are pretty much always wrong. I'd go by with what first teams looked like in preseason and what they've done so far this year. I'll make you a bet right now both Green Bay and SF finish north of 8-8 unless Arod or JT get hurt and even if they finish 8-8 that hardly makes them horrible teams.

Gotta disagree there (I know what else is new), I think the Titans are a very serious Superbowl contender in a depleated AFC. They have a fantastic defense, solid running game, and an intelligent QB that manages the game....Can you say Baltimore Ravens the year they won the SB

Well if they are going to do it, the vacume left by brady, makes it their year. I just don't think they have the stability at the QB position. Kerry Collins just isn't going to cut it. Now if Vince comes back and is ready to play. That is another story. I don't think Collins will come close to pulling a dilfer.

The Titans are better with Collins then with Mike Vick 2.
Agreed... the flashy, running quarterback who can't throw is overrated. You can't win with that quarterback and he won't last long.

You must have missed it...They are not waiting for Young to come back, Collins is the starter weather Young is healthy or not....Collins is a far more accomplished QB than Dilfer, Collins just moved into the top 15 all time in passing yards.
