Yesterday's Lions vs. Bears game was absolutely horrendous. The two early turnovers put the Lions into panic mode after only being down 10-0. Stafford and the boys started trying to play outside of themselves in order to make the comeback to offset the early deficit. The issue is Matt went "Tony Romo" and gave the Bears two more TDs. Bottom line, this is the humbling experience that we needed in order to get back on track. The NFL season is a tale of two halves; the first half we went 6-2 and so far in the second half we are 0-1. We still have time to right this wrong and get back on track for the last 7 game stretch.
At 6 and 3, the Lions have an opportunity to redeem themselves against the Carolina Panthers at Ford Field this Sunday. I am predicting a win this Sunday and therefore claiming a 7-3 record going into the Thanksgiving Game the following week. Interesting enough, I can see us struggling against Breez and the boys at the Super Dome in week 13, but then there is light. In week 14 we will beat the Vikings, week 15 we will beat the Raiders, and week 16 we will beat the Chargers. All of these wins followed up by a losing effort against the Packers at the "Frozen Tundra" in Week 17.
The result: 10 and 6 with the Lions getting a chance at the wildcard for a playoff spot.

Well all your projections are dependent upon whether Stafford can play. If not we may be on a down hill slope. And a push for a wild card may be out of reach. Remember the Bears are right along with us.
