NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

They are at it again. The Lions are making predictions.
Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz was asked to comment on Jon Kitna’s prediction of 10 victories this year.
In all, it could be a devastating attack once Johnson assimilates himself. Martz won’t come out and say it, but you see his eyes twinkle when he talks about this group. Ten wins? Maybe Kitna should have gone higher.
“I’m surprised he conceded six games, to be honest with you,” Martz says. “I wouldn’t put a limit on how many games we’re going to win this year.” source
Interestingly enough, Jon Kitna wants to rephrase his prediction.
For a team that went 3-13 last year, that’s a bold statement. But that’s the effect Johnson has had. Quarterback Jon Kitna thinks the team will win at least 10 games.
“It’s not necessarily a prediction,” Kitna says, “as much as an expectation. It will be a disappointment for us if we don’t win at least 10 games.”
Still it should be fun to watch with all the skill players poised for good year, i.e. Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, Tatum Bell, etc.
There is also improvement in the offensive line with the additions of Edwin Mulitalo and George Foster.
Those incredible predictors now have Calvin Johnson under contract and we await his prediction.
Just to out do themselves the Lions won their preseason game.
Calvin had something to do with that.
Calvin Johnson showed a glimpse of what’s to come from the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft.
Johnson caught two passes for 45 yards late in the first half to set up a score and the Detroit Lions rallied late to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-26 on Thursday night in the exhibition opener for both teams.
The 6-foot-5, 239-pound receiver displayed his speed and savvy on his first catch, sprinting and settling into a spot behind a cornerback and in front of a safety. On the next play, Johnson used his body and leaping ability to shield first-round pick Leon Hall for a 21-yard reception that was the second and final ball thrown to him. source
Yeah, yeah, it is only a preseason game where a lot of guys you never heard from played. Still, around here, we celebrate any Lions victory.
All Hail, Calvin Johnson!
Now where is that prediction?
