I saw nfl.com says we have the toughest schedule. You absolutely know that Dan Campbell loves this. He’s going to ride this narrative all season. Love it!
Scheduling wise, I prefer the old days where most games were at 1pm on a Sunday. Now it is bouncing all over the place as the NFL wants to make sure the Lions have the toughest road to the SB.
Quite the opposite. The NFL would LOVE for the Lions to make the Super Bowl. They're league darlings right now. The reason they're moving all over the place is that they want to get them in front of a national audience as much as possible.
Detroit vs. Everybody? No. Everybody loves you outside of Green Bay, Chicago and Minneapolis.
It could have been much, much worse. Flip the first 5 with the last 5 and you're playing outdoors in Baltimore, Cincinatti and GB in December and January.
I think it’s a good schedule given their success last year. Mid-season bye is super helpful. Justin I’ll trade you the Vikings game….cant write very well but you’ll like the seafood Christmas dinner here on the coast
It's brutal, but I do also think it could have been worse. I mostly look for rest advantage in these things, and it seems like the lions aren't too poorly off in that regard (at least just to my eye)
Let's plan on a Lions post-bye week (indoor)victory over the Vikings on 11/2, followed by a Tiger Game Seven World Series (outdoor) win at Comerica later that day vs the Dodgers. Hopefully it's not a chilly night.

It's so true. I was on a ski chairlift in Oregon with a local, NFL came up and he said "I just love your Lions."
Eagles and Chiefs games Lions have a rest advantage. Also both Bears games. Even if it's only 24 hours, I'll take it

This looks like a really difficult schedule. They will be hard pressed to get the top seed or even win the division this year.
If the Lions beat their o/u for wins, I don't think anyone will be saying it's because they played an easy schedule.
Week 8 bye, yay
