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

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
