Saturday open thread: What is your Detroit Lions season record prediction after Week 1? A lot can change in one week. An event can drastically alter one’s life Matt Prater Jersey White , or even a single word can make all the difference in the world.For the Detroit Lions, a lot has certainly changed in a week. Coming into the season, there was a lot of guarded optimism, but that all dissipated in a matter of 90 minutes or so. The perceived lowly Jets managed to derail the Matt Patricia era just as quickly as it was established. Of course, 99 percent of this is overreaction. We don’t know if Patricia is a terrible head coach because of 60 minutes of real game play. We don’t know the destiny of this team simply because of the way they played in a single game. But that being said, it’s clear the expectations have drastically shifted from just six days ago. So today’s Question of the Day is:What do you think the Lions’ 2018 record will be now? My answer: I’m not moving from my 8-8 prediction at the beginning of the year. Though the team continues to look poor Trey Flowers Jersey White , as it did in the preseason, I think we may have all forgotten just how much of an equalizer Matthew Stafford can be when he’s playing well. Monday night was absolutely as aberration when it comes to his play, and had he even played an average game for himself, the Lions would’ve been in that game despite getting outplayed everywhere else on the field. That has been the story of the Lions for the past three years, and I honestly don’t see how this team is much of any different from the ones we saw go 9-7 back-to-back. The only difference is the division appears to be significantly tougher. With a healthy(ish) Aaron Rodgers, an up-and-coming Bears team and a still-dominant Vikings team http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-levine-toilolo-jersey , it’s going to be tough to see this team get over the .500 mark, but as long as Stafford is behind center, they’ll win at least seven games.Your turn. The Ravens get some much-needed offensive help in our community mock."The Baltimore Ravens are welcoming a new era of football. Gone is the elitist quarterback this league has ever seen, as Baltimore sent Joe Flacco to the Denver Broncos. Now is the time for Lamar Jackson to rise and bring a new flavor to Baltimore’s stale offense.Pride of Detroit commenter Keith A is acting as the Ravens general manager in our Community Mock Draft, and he knows the importance of surrounding a young quarterback with a talented cast of players.So with the 22nd pick in our POD Community Mock Draft, the Ravens have selected Ole Miss receiver A.J. Brown. Here’s Keith with the explanation for his pick.“When looking at the Ravens’ weaknesses Womens Ricky Wagner Jersey , it’s pretty clear to me what their biggest need is: wide receiver. Off the top of my head, I’m not even sure who their top wideout is (a quick search tells me it’s Willie Snead. Ouch.), and with a talented, albeit flawed, young quarterback, the Ravens need to get him some help. My hope was to be able to trade up and grab D.K. Metcalf Womens Dwayne Washington Jersey , especially with him falling to just two picks before, but alas, the rules must be followed. His teammate A.J. Brown, however, is still on the board, and from a technical standpoint he may be a better receiver than Metcalf. Brown was extremely productive in college and served as a sort of security blanket for Ole Miss quarterbacks Luke Willson Jersey White , hauling in 75 and 85 catches respectively in the past two seasons. Though he is seen as a possession receiver, he has really good measurables and speed and can be used in a variety of different ways. Brown is a great fit and will give Lamar Jackson an explosive, yet reliable weapon that can play the slot or the outside. This should balance well with their dangerous running game and always tough defense.”Catch up on all of the picks with our Community Mock Draft Tracker
