Joey Do!

Mike Theis would always watch a Lions game and yell "Joey Don't!" at the screen whenever Harrington would throw. It was really funny. The Lions are getting a good amount of preseason talk and EVERYONE has a magnifying glass on Harrington. I looked at their schedule today and realized they do need to git err duunnn this season. Their schedule is a cakewalk. They play the Bucs, Bears (twice), Browns, and Bengals. (Did anyone else realize all of the crappy teams in the league start with B?) Between the 4 of them, they were 22-42 last season. Also, they play the Cardinals, Saints, and Cowboys (20-28). Their division consists of
Green Bay - Always solid, but will Farve ever start aging? Ok, Packers are good.
Minnesota - Randy Moss-less. Lions should be able to take one of the two games
Chicago - Rex Grossman. I hate Rex Grossman. He didn't do that well in college, did he?
So, here's the season and how the Lions should perform.
Green Bay Packers - L - But, a victory would be a good start, wouldn't it?
@ Chicago Bears - W - If it is a loss, Joey will really have pressure on him
@ Tampa Bay Bucs - W - This is coming off a bye week
Baltimore Ravens - L - Raven's D is too tough... I think Boller will score just enough
Carolina Panthers - W - If I'm wrong, they probably beat the Ravens the week before
@ Cleveland Browns - W - Braylon Edwards or Rogers & the Williams'? Hmm...
Chicago Bears - W - Good old confidence booster
@ Minnesota Vikings - L - Can Lions really win first 4 road games? No.
Arizona Cardinals - W - Another should-be victory
@ Dallas Cowboys - L - Close game, but I don't want to be too optimistic
Atlanta Falcons - L - Tough game to predict. If Vick isn't playing, that definitely is a W. Entertaining Thanksgiving Day game
Minnesota Vikings - W - Lions find stop losing skid...
@ Green Bay Packers - L - ...for one week
Cinncinati Bengals - W - Carson Palmer will have a good season
@ New Orleans Saints - W - I will never put Deuce McFumbles a lot on my fantasy team again
@ Pittsburgh Steelers - L - Rothlisburg... I just realized I have no idea how to spell that.
That's it! They should be at least 9-7 next year. Last year, that record would put them into the playoffs. The question is, will Joey succeed?

Joey is 9-9 on his first game... and C-Rog didn't get injured! Good sign for times ahead?
