Which Lions was he talking about? The Nittany Lions? The B.C. Lions?

I am glad Kitna is going into this season with a lot of confidence especially after winning only 3 games last year! ;D The team has improved on both sides of the ball and might win as many as they lose this year but I've been saying this every season for the lat 6-10 years.  We do have very good receivers and quality running backs this season. Will our quarterback find the receivers and make good use of the running backs or will he be too busy being chased for another sack? Can the coaching staff bring out the best of our players consistently, week after week? We will see..... |

I like Kitna. I like Marinelli. I like Ernie Sims, Drew Stanton, and having a bunch of wide receivers...it's a hoot, that they took yet another one this year, in Calvin Johnson! That took guts.
Taking Drew Stanton with their second pick, with all the holes that needed to be addressed on this team, took something else. I'm still scratching my head over that one, and I thought there was nothing this team could do, that would surprise me anymore.
I would like nothing better than to see the Lions win 8-10 games this year, and vie for a playoff-spot. In the parity-filled NFL, it should be possible for a team to turn it around, after five decades of futility, hundreds and hundreds of different players, coaches from every corner of the country, and fans who refuse to stop supporting the team, no matter how badly they do, year after godforsaken year.
If the Lions win more than five games this year, they should hold a parade. The Fords might be wise to borrow the Popemobile, should they opt to join the parade. Not for protection, there's no violent people around here, but for the sake of visibility. Let the fans have a good look at them. Let Millen drive.

I was going to say, right before I read that, that the Lions will win 5 games this year, tops. So, if they can win more than that they will have beaten my expectations and a parade will indeed be in order lol.

Did anyone think to ask him how many seasons we was projecting it would take for those 10 wins? Certainly not just next year, because a crazy statement like that might him suspended for using an illegal substance.
