lawngnome o-line Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2914874 The Detroit Lions haven't had a winning record since 2000 and haven't won 10 games since 1995. That's all going to change in 2007, according to quarterback Jon Kitna. Appearing on WDFN-AM in Detroit on Thursday, Kitna predicted that the Lions will win more than 10 games this season. The Lions were 3-13 in 2006. In March, Kitna said the Lions would win 10 games in 2007, but after seeing the team's schedule he adjusted his prediction -- higher. "I'll keep to myself what I think we actually will win. But it's more than 10 games," Kitna said. Part of the reason for Kitna's optimism is Calvin Johnson, the team's first-round draft pick. "I don't like putting a lot of pressure on people, but Calvin Johnson, to me, will have about the same impact that Reggie Bush had in New Orleans," Kitna said. "He's everything that they said he was and more." ....? Jon Kitna, please let me know when you've got a good defense, a supporting cast that aren't vags who are hurt for half the year or don't have Matt Millen as your GM still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 It's possible. Not probable, but it is possible. GBx2 Minnyx2 Oakland KC Washington Tampa Arizona Giants Even Dallas could be had, if Romo is a one year wonder. They could easily be 8-8 with their schedule.

SweetLee83 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'd like to get some of what hes smoking. To go from 3-13 to 10+ wins would be one of the best turn arounds ever. It won't happen though. Their defense isnt going to be able to be that competitive every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I could see Detroit winning 10. I think their offense is going to breakout big time. The question is whether their defense will do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentucky Jet Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I could see Detroit winning 10. I think their offense is going to breakout big time. The question is whether their defense will do anything. Like with the Jets, people tend to always sell them short. Like the Jets, when they atart winning, people will line up to jump on their bandwagon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I think alot of people were saying that about the Jets last year. Anything is possible. the Lions do have talent. Maybe not Super Bowl talent but I could them going 9-7 or 10-6. They could be a surprise team in the NFC this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BwanaZulia Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Someone needs to tell Kitna to STFU! Having your QB out there predicting the number of wins for the season in a disaster of a franchise? Man... the signs this year in the stadium are going to be priceless. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yes because when I evaulate teams I always listen to what Jon Kitna has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man... the signs this year in the stadium are going to be priceless. BZ Why? I would rather have the QB set the bar high then some BS I hope we win more then 3 games. Yes, it puts a target on them, but it can also make them bond and become a "us vs the world" thing. Rally the team to prove everyone wrong.

PeterNorth09 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 If a Matt Millen team goes 10-6 this year Roger Goodell should seriously start considering making the NFC a minor league for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
