When the NFL released the official schedule for the 2009-10 season, the Lions schedule looked awfully grim. With opening games against teams like New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Washington and an early away game at Green Bay, and rounding out the season against teams like Baltimore and Arizona. This morning, the Free Press posted a column by Drew Sharp (someone I've personally never liked), where he stated the Lions schedule has "3-13 written all over it", to which I say, how in the hell could he possibly say that right now? ---Drew Sharp Column-- http://www.freep.com/article/20090415/COL08/904150401/?imw=Y
It is April 15th, we still haven't gotten to the draft, not to mention, the Lions have a whole new coaching staff, and a basically whole new roster. How could Drew Sharp state that, without knowing the teams strategy's, schemes, playbooks, who's going to be starting, or who they're drafting. It's absolutely ridiculous for anyone to be predicting the success of a team at this point in the off season. The Lions have a lot to prove, to the writers, fans, and to themselves, but they don't deserve to be called losers, at least not yet.
