Hmmm, I’m surprised to learn that Matthew Stafford will be starting the opening game of the Lions season this Sunday against New Orleans.

He showed his fantastic arm and a confidence in himself to just keep trying and keep going forward with how he plays….which might be a smidge, reckless? 

I truly wished that Culpepper started the season, but it’s time to get behind Stafford because, well…we have to. The Lions will have a transition year with only 20 players from last years roster that made the 2009 team. Just think about that…barely %40 are still Lions, that’s amazing to me. 

Anyway, I’m predicting a 5-11 season for this year’s edition. I do believe the offense will score points, but don’t have much faith in the defense despite the upgrade in linebacker (Foote and Petersen). Football is back folks. Sit back, order a pizza and get a lot of your favorite game day beverage in the fridge (or cooler next to your chair) and root your team on, we have a lot of football ahead of us. WOO HOO!
