http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2914874 The Detroit Lions haven't had a winning record since 2000 and haven't won 10 games since 1995. That's all going to change in 2007, according to quarterback Jon Kitna. Appearing on WDFN-AM in Detroit on Thursday, Kitna predicted that the Lions will win more than 10 games this season. The Lions were 3-13 in 2006. In March, Kitna said the Lions would win 10 games in 2007, but after seeing the team's schedule he adjusted his prediction -- higher. "I'll keep to myself what I think we actually will win. But it's more than 10 games," Kitna said. Part of the reason for Kitna's optimism is Calvin Johnson, the team's first-round draft pick. "I don't like putting a lot of pressure on people, but Calvin Johnson, to me, will have about the same impact that Reggie Bush had in New Orleans," Kitna said. "He's everything that they said he was and more."
well...if John Kitna says so...it must be true....afterall, he knows all about winning from when he qb'd the Bengals to all those 10 win seasons!
I don't see whats wrong with this? The NFC North is the worst divison in Football. The Pathetic New Orleans Saints who went 3-13 in 2005 were predicted to have the same record and they blew the NFC South off the map, mind you the Lions don't have Drew Brees but I would bet my bottom dollar that the Lions will be outscoring teams.
Q: concussions? record interceptions in a single month? 2 game span? A: Things that have a better chance of reaching 10
At least we know the Lions aren't expecting to win 3 games? But didn't Roy Williams say they were the best 1-8 team in NFL history?
