Last year the Lions were 1-6 heading into week 9. They went 8-2 the rest of the way. Which team, with a horrible record right now, do you think will finish the season off strong and be a spoiler along the way?
Last year the Dolphins were 8-3 heading into week 13 and then finished off with 5 straight losses, almost missing the playoffs. Which team, with a great record right now, do you think will end the year with a bad streak of losses?
My fear is that my Lions are about to come up against a bunch of bad losses. 5 divisional games (which always can go either way) two of which are against the Vikings who are putting together a streak and getting healthy plus 2 more against the Bears who have a mobile QB that seem to give the Lions D fits. Plus the Cowboys! Maybe its the 30 year Detroit fan in me expecting the worst, but I fear them even losing the division. Its set up too perfectly for us Lions fans to have the proverbial "ball pulled out by Lucy" in week 16-18.
Since almost everyone here is expecting it with me idk how surprising it is for a collapse but Seattle,one of the toughest schedules left with a turnstile OL after getting by beating a bunch of scrub teams if the question was asked like 5 days ago I woulda said Pittsburgh but DTR and 2 Jake Browning matchups later I’m not dying on that hill
Only surprising finishes I have for bad teams are the Rams and Titans, think the Rams could finish 5-3 which is a solid finish but the Titans putting an end to the Texans potential playoff push and ruining the Jags seeding would be a bigger blow imo so Titans and Seahawks are the teams
