Welcome back, folks. Another year, another tie in the first game of the season, which means that the Lions and Cardinals (per our policy) are out of 0-16 contention.
Fortunately, there are a couple of teams that we think have a good shot at going all the way this year. In honor of the late great Manhattan Infidel, though, we plan to avoid jokes and snark at the expense of the Giants. Well, mostly.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
da Bears
New York Jets
Miami
Cincinnati
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
Houston
Indianapolis
Jacksonville
Denver
Washington
New York Football Giants
Carolina
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Michigan dweller here, lifelong supporter of the Lions and the Tigers, so I am used to being disappointed. But the Lions did show some things this year that were missing last year. They are much better than a 6-10 team this year. Given the breaks, and avoiding devastating injuries, which always hit every
team, they have a chance to make the playoffs this year. Again, depending on what kind of talent is left at the playoff season, will mean if they win or lose in the first round.
One huge thing was answered, which the sportswriters have been having a field day with, and which I knew that they were being jerks about. Matthew Stafford is every bit the top tier quarterback that he has always been. The reason he was not playing a lot during the preseason is that the coaches wanted to get a good look at the other talent in camp, to make some hard choices.
I told you I am a Lions fan. You can tell, by the unrealistic early season expectations.
