OT: 2017 NFL Schedules Released

Submitted by The Fugitive on

Detroit schedule here and it looks rough on paper.  I want to say all these teams have been in the playoffs the last 3 seasons or so except the Bears and obvisouly the Browns.  Record predictions?  I'll say they start the season 4-4 and finish 10-6 thanks to that three game stretch against Cleveland, Chicago and Minnesota.

2 MNF games (at Giants, at Packers)
1 SNF game (vs Steelers)
and the Thanksgiving game vs the Vikings again.

I understand it's just how the NFL schedule cycles, but it's still kind of annoying that the Lions have to play back-to-back years on the road against the Giants and Saints for the cross-divisional games.

Carolina has only played in Detroit twice since they've existed, so that'll be a nice change of pace at least.

but after looking at the schedule, I'm writing off this team. Unless the Lions score an A+ in the upcoming draft, I don't see 8 wins on the schedule no matter how good Stafford may be at engineering comeback wins.

I thought that last year the Lions would win 9 or 11 games and I pick the same for this team this year. Playoffs or bust for Caldwell I believe he will be fired not making the playoffs or even if the Lions make the playoffs Caldwell could be fired if he doesn't win a game. GO Lions One Pride.

Tough schedule. Alot depends on how well they do in the draft. I'm saying 9-7, 10-6 if they are lucky. Or, they could be 5-11.
