Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Seems based on what we know of the Packers schedule, looks like Vikings at home to finish the season. This will be good for the Vikings. They could be fighting for the final playoff spot and the Lions will be resting their starters since they have the division locked up.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 If we go in and beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead I think that this fanbase is going to be turned up to a level that it's almost never been at before. That would be one hell of a way to open up the season and would make the first home game and Ford Field be as loud as its ever been. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 That Chiefs opener is going to be fascinating. If the Lions win, the hype will be through the roof. If they lose, Detroit area hospitals will start bracing for a flood of ankle injuries after fans jump off the bandwagon. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Definitely throwing our new secondary into the deep end by playing KC the first game. As mentioned though it is usually best to get the good teams in week 1 cause the first week has shown to be even more volatile than a normal NFL game. Plus with the Chiefs getting their rings and essentially recelebrating their championship they may come out a little slow. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Three Thursday games is really annoying, but at least one of them is the opener and another is early too. Hard to get guys healthy on a short week. 2 Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 POD didn't cite their sources but are reporting that the games against the Vikings will come in weeks 16 (away) and 18 (home). Could be some late season drama if both teams perform to ability. Quote

KnoxP Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Jumping in! I’m hoping that a new D (secondary and a new LB) will have a game plan advantage over what’s known about KC offense. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 If there was any doubt remaining, it's gone now. This is huge for this franchise and city. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 I agree that it is best to play your toughest opponents early, when it is more of a crapshoot. Neither a win nor a loss will mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the season, though I'm sure overreactions will be abound either way. It will also be helpful to get the long rest into week two, which will presumably be at home. Quote
chasfh Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Have you ever been more anxious for summer to hurry the **** up and end already? Quote
TP_Fan Posted May 11, 2023 Author Posted May 11, 2023 I’m still expecting them to get a home MNF game. Both prime time games are on the road (excluding thanksgiving of course). Quote

I'd be pretty salty if they made us play three road primetime games and didn't give us anything at home to show for it outside of Thanksgiving. Quote
TP_Fan Posted May 11, 2023 Author Posted May 11, 2023 I just keep thinking things are due. Lions are due for a season opener win. Chiefs are due for a season opening loss and the lions are just due, in general. Lions will beat the chiefs week 1. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Its nice to know the Lions will be playing in the first game of the NFL season and of course playing and winning the last game of the NFL season. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 A TNF Throwback game! Should be a classic 9-3 final. Quote

The Lions are supposed to play the Packers week 5 on TNF as well so that would mean two TNF games. Did it change where there are multiple TNF games now? Quote
