The Detroit Lions have no expectation for the 09′ season really — just don’t go 0-16 and that will be good enough it seems. The Lions already improved in 09′ winning in week 3 against the Washington Redskins 14-19 — the teams first win since 07′ against the Kansas City Chiefs in week 16. The Lions celebrated their first victory in years by high five-ing the fans in the crowd.
Armed with some new players, a standout rookie quarterback, and a boosted morale, this team was ready to win some games in 2009.
It has been one bad draft pick after another for the Detroit Lions, nothing has worked. When will they get it right?
The offense of the Lions ranks in the middle of the leagues teams, the defense is among the lower half in all major categories. The division the Lions play in, The NFC North, doesn’t do them any good — the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are all improved from last season.
The Lions offense must not give away games and hand the opposing teams many turnovers. Rookie QB’s turn the ball over often throwing interceptions, Matthew Stafford must stay calm and make smart decisions, easier said the done obviously.
It really is unfair to throw a QB into such a disaster of a team, but it happens — QB Troy Aikman started for the 1-15 Dallas Cowboys in 1989, the Cowboys won the Super Bowl 3 seasons later.
Matthew Stafford can be the only one carrying the team, Calvin Johnson must play like one of the best wide receivers in the game and help make Stafford look good.
The Detroit Lions might not win many games but better days surely lay ahead. It can’t get any worse!
