lol..anything can happen..they have the tools to be a good team in a few years..but IDK about this

“I won’t make a prediction about how many games we’re going to win,” Smith wrote recently at smith34.com, “but I will say this: We will definitely make the playoffs this season.”

a lil shot at the panthers...since we did play them..but i cant say too much seeing as he put 100 on us

“Believe it or not we weren’t far off last year,” he wrote. “Almost every game we could have won, we were one play or one player short. Except for Tennessee on Thanksgiving, they just came out and beat us to sleep. They manhandled us, but nobody else did.”

If I was the Detroit FO, I'd say....

We will definitely make the playoffs? OK, here's your new contract. If we make the playoffs, you get paid double what you are now. If not, you get the league minimum, sign here :D

If he thinks they definitely get to the playoffs, then its a good deal. But, gee, I wonder what he would do.... :rolleyes:

They are in a weak division...NFC North..GB MInn, Chicago....they dont have the strongest schedule....I just dont know......Would be one of the biggest turnarounds i have ever seen. from winless to the playoffs.....that would be at least plus 10 in wins last year....Its possible but i dont think it will happen

I wouldn't say they're in a week division at all, though I know none of the teams had really great records or anything. With Cutler, I think Chicago is on the up and up.

I think Green Bay's defense will be much improved next year. And Minnesota, well, we all know that with good quarterback play they can be a very dangerous team.

A weak division would be like the NFC West. :P

    • Caleb Williams has more passing yards in 7 attempts than our QB did in 4 quarters.
    • Was just looking at the box score and now realizing it goes even further than the red zone usage. On the first drive of the game, T-Mac was targeted 3 times, Brycen twice, and Renfrow once. Which means for the remainder of the game, Bryce only had 9 targets to his WRs.   And yes, I get it, we won by 30 in a shutout, but it's not like the game was a blowout the whole time where we were just running it to preserve the lead.  But just like I felt all throughout 2015, we might have been winning games, but it was in spite of the coaching staff that season, not because of them.  They made soooooo many play calls and game plans that made no sense and the players seemed to constantly bail them out, and it was frustrating when fans would get upset at asking these questions just because we were winning. It's also not like we have a clear cut long term franchise QB solution, we had 17 games (and now just 14 more) to prove Bryce can either be the guy or not be the guy, so even in games like this, we need to be throwing it more and throwing it downfield more to see what he can be. I said all off-season, we're not contenders this year, winning or losing doesn't matter to me, it's about finding out if Bryce should be our long term guy or if we should move on after this year.  Games like this are nice for the win, but they hurt our ability to evaluate him properly.
