2014 - 11-5 / lost to Dallas in 1st rd
2015 - 7-9 / missed playoffs
2016 - 9-7 / playoff wild card.
2017 - concensus looks to be 10-6 to 8-8 playoffs an iffy proposition.

take the jelly side up approach and say 10-6.

That would give Caldwell a 4 year cumulative record of 37-27 , .578 winning %

If its my team with the money I would anticipate it will take to resign Stafford if Cladwell can't win 12 games in 2017 its time for a coach the wunderkind GM chooses and dump the one he inherited.

LOL.....

Let's start this pick off with a quick thought exercise: Think of all the things you're bad at and then imagine having them all thrown in your face at once. For me, it would be like if I went on a date and the girl asked me to sing in French while writing left-handed. I can't sing, speak French or write left-handed, so that date would be over before it started.

That's basically the disaster scenario the Lions are facing this week. Only, in Detroit's case, the three things they're bad at are worse than me not being able to speak French.

First, this is a wild-card game. The Lions have never won a wild-card game (0-8).

Second, this game is on the road. The Lions have never won a playoff game on the road in the Super Bowl era (0-10).

Third, this game is outdoors. The Lions didn't win a single game playing outside during the 2016 season (0-3).

Fourth, this game is in prime time, and the Lions lost all their prime-time games this season (0-2).

Do not give me a homer take please. What is a safer play? Seattle -3 or Detroit +17.

Agreed. Rookie QBs do not fair well in the playoffs.

Seattle -3 is safer.

But this is precisely the kind of game the Lions go ahead and fuck everything up.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:45 pm

I took Det +17. Blame me when they get blown the fuck out. Better yet, stop cheering for them and blame the Ford family.

I have a feeling they'll keep it close for a half.

Not if you're Detroit. The packers would have Seattle back at 4th and 12. Fact.

Not sure about that. I remember a game ending TD catch call that went against the Packers against the Seahawks
