6ish wins 

Evero fired at the bye 

Huddle ends up going hard at Morgan and Dave.  Huddle largely tires of BY who isn’t bad but also just doesn’t generate enough offense and is pretty bland (outside of quirky scramble he pulls off randomly every other week) but a hardcore pro BY faction remains. 
 

 

Sounds about right.

I was optimistic before the preseason and the way they ended last year. After going 0-3 showing hardly any signs of life. From Dan to Canalas to the QB and defense. I have even less hope. This team just looks lost and defeated  when I hear dumbass Canalas speak, it sounds like he is handing out participation trophies and pats on back to 2nd graders. 
 

I have come back to earth and have zero hope with Tepper/Dan/Bryce/evero. 
 

4 wins. Max. Top 5 draft pick. New coach. New qb. Starting over. 
 

…or they have 10 wins.

I really don't want to see another coaching reset but everything I've seen thus far this year concerns me that Canales is more image than substance as a head coach.

I sadly am getting the same vibe. Crazy to not take the preseason seriously with the amount of new/young players we have this year.

Is it still 6.5? 

the division IS super bad but I’d still take that under 

It will come down to how much the defense has improved. Early results say none. The offense is still a mystery and is dependent on Young and the young group of receivers to make a huge jump in production. The run game is in trouble if preseason is any indicator. Special teams isn't very special and coaching is questionable. I'd say 6 wins is the ceiling until they prove something other than they've shown so far.

If I’m truly being predictive, I think we’re looking at 5-6 wins again. Defense has a slight (but not substantial enough) improvement and Bryce doesn't show what we want.

6-11 

Is that what I’m hoping for and optimistic about? No. But it’s my prediction given the landscape.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
