Figured we should start a new thread with the schedule being released tonight.

From the preseason thread:

I also heard a rumor the Lions are playing Dallas at home on MNF in week 2.

I also heard:
Week 8, Oct. 27, Giants at Detroit Lions, 1pm
Week 6 Lions @ GB (possible MNF)

I haven't seen that week 2 Dallas rumor anywhere.

Oddly enough, the entire Patriots & Giants schedules got leaked.

[TRUMP]

Lions will start the season 1-3 then run the table to finish 13-3. Mark this post.

16-0

Guaranteed.

I really wanted to go to Denver this year for my road trip game. But being so close to the holidays might not make that happen.

Lions and Zona open as a "pick 'em"...

[Blaming Brad]

According to PFT, the Lions have the best schedule with regard to overall rest days compared to their opponents. They have 12 more rest days overall than their opponents leading up to the game. A big reason for that is the Lions don't play any team coming off their bye.

Just don't wear any Lions gear or give any indication you're rooting for the visiting team.

F that...loud and proud!  I suspect it wont be any worse than Oakland (which was the most fun Ive ever had at a game)

[thedane]

There's a reason Philly has a jail and a court at the stadium...

[Felix]

Well, good...although the way I see it, Im not a small dude, so generally people dont mess with me too much...on top of that, people usually take pity on me for being a Lions fan...I mean, its kind of hard to truly hate a Lions fan...and thirdly, I take the playful ribbing fairly well and its usually pretty playful banter....I just laugh at the people who are too aggressive, I figure they just have a small penis...

Yeah...Philly fans are NOTHING like Oakland. MOST fans take pity on Lions fans...not Eagles fans - they're pretty much not human beings. If you're a big threatening dude you might be alright but you have been warned. I wouldn't go near that place if my ticket and transportation was paid for.

[Felix]

Meh...we'll see I suppose...

the only time Ive ever been scared at a game, pregame, postgame was when Lions took the lead at oakland with less than a minute left...I asked the cop if it was safe to go out in the parking lot and he just shrugged his shoulders...it was fine...

Although, a dallas fan did hit me with his car last year, so I promptly hulk smashed his hood...he drove off...

[Blaming Brad]

No Peterson week 1...

[goldenlions]

week one should be interesting.

Arizona seemingly got much better after their garbage season last year, they turned over a lot of their roster and they should improve. But getting them week 1 might find to be more beneficial now with PP out and having a team with a new QB, new system to learn with a lot of new players. The Lions offense could struggle out of the gate with a new offensive system that Stafford said it was a lot to adsorb, but that Bevell is a good teacher so there is some promise. Of course this game will strike fear in most Lions fans and give them reminders of the debacle that was the Jets game last season.

Twin brothers from different mothers. My chef coat, it says Lions on the back and I cook on the road for some pretty good tailgates. Last one in Tampa was over 100 people. I sat with Slays cousin..
