00:00
So, we got these bold ass predictions from the beginning of the season.
00:06
To be fair, these are bold, right?
00:11
They're intended to be, nobody was going to call up and say, Lions are going to win the
00:16
division.
00:17
That wouldn't be considered bold.
00:18
We're asking people to be bold.
00:22
What I like about it is that we cast collectively, you, myself, Kang, and the listeners cast
00:26
a very wide net.
00:29
And when it's all said and done, we have found that historically, some of the bold ass predictions,
00:35
usually several come true.
00:39
This year, not so much.
00:41
No?
00:42
No.
00:43
My worst one is the following, and I know why I made this prediction.
00:52
My worst one is that Parker Hess will score three touchdowns for the Lions this year.
00:57
Yeah, I know.
00:58
I said it too.
00:59
Why did I make that prediction?
01:01
Because when we were at training camp, we saw the run of play, and Parker Hessey caught
01:04
a touchdown pass at the goal line.
01:08
That was one.
01:09
So, go back, and we'll take a look here.
01:11
And he had zero receptions on zero targets.
01:15
How many snaps did he have on offense during the course of the NFL season?
01:20
We'll have to look that up.
01:21
Because that, to me, would be funny, because I'm not sure he had three offensive plays
01:27
in this season.
01:28
It's quite possible.
01:29
Um, yeah, I'm not sure he had three.
01:35
Oh, wait, he did.
01:36
He had 59 offensive snaps.
01:38
Oh, look at that.
01:40
59 offensive snaps.
01:43
Here's one from you.
01:45
Aidan Hutchinson will have 15 quarterback sacks, which you very well might have.
01:49
In fairness, he was halfway there and only played like five games.
01:53
While Marcus Davenport and James Houston will combine for 15 sacks.
01:57
All right, so that one hurts.
02:00
A lot.
02:02
Marcus Davenport and James Houston did not combine for 15 games.
02:07
Now, in fairness, Davenport got hurt.
02:10
In fairness, they both stunk.
02:13
Who knew?
02:14
Who knew?
02:15
In fairness, this was a bad prediction.
02:17
Yeah, that was terrible.
02:19
I own it.
02:20
That was terrible.
02:21
It happens.
02:22
James Houston was terrible.
02:27
My bold-ass prediction number two, the Lions will trade for Devontae Adams.
02:31
That did not happen.
02:32
No.
02:34
He got traded.
02:36
But at least he got traded.
02:38
You saw that coming, kind of.
02:41
Here's, I think, my favorite.
02:44
You meant to say Tim Patrick, right?
02:45
Yes, that's what I meant to say.
02:47
Davenport predicted that Gibson-Montgomery will combine for over 2,200 yards rushing.
02:52
I was close.
02:53
They combined for 2,187 yards rushing.
02:57
You missed it by 13.
02:59
Well, you said over.
03:00
You missed it by 14 yards.
03:01
You were close, Gator.
03:02
Sorry.
03:04
My final bold-ass prediction was the Lions will clinch the division
03:08
and the one seed with a weak 17 win over San Francisco.
03:11
The Lions seal the deal on a manual Mosley interception on the 49ers final drive.
03:14
You're way off.
03:16
I had to wait another week.
03:18
It's interesting that I said clinch the division and the one seed at the same time
03:21
because that did happen.
03:22
It happened at week 18.
03:23
Manual Mosley had nothing to do with it.
03:25
How many snaps do you have this year?
03:28
I can look that up.
03:31
You're looking at week 17.
03:33
We were hoping to get them back at week 17.
03:35
That did not happen.
03:36
29.
03:37
Is that correct?
03:38
Could be.
03:39
And they were all on special teams?
03:41
Wow.
03:42
That doesn't seem right.
03:44
And your third bold-ass prediction was Jared Goff will score two rushing
03:47
touchdowns in the same game.
03:49
It's not my fault they got to feed the running backs down to the goal line.
03:57
And who knew they had running backs leading into the season?
04:00
Would have been awesome if you would have said he would have had a receiving
04:03
touchdown.
04:04
That would have been fun.
04:05
That would have been nice.
04:06
Kang, here are two of your bold-ass predictions.
04:08
We can go outside.
04:09
Here we go.
04:11
Sione Vachie will return two kicks for touchdowns this year.
04:15
I'll tell you what, he deserved the opportunity.
04:17
Sending Craig Reynolds back there is like waving the white flag, man.
04:21
I mean, they're targeting him.
04:23
They did.
04:24
There's no question.
04:25
Every kickoff on Saturday night was going right to Reynolds.
04:28
It was possible because on the season, Sione Vachie returned two kickoffs.
04:34
So he just had to cap.
04:36
All he had to do was take them both to the house and he would have been right.
04:39
So close.
04:40
Did I say the touchdown part?
04:43
So close.
04:45
Jameer Gibbs will combine 1,200 yards rushing and 1,200 yards receiving.
04:51
I thought Demo might get hurt.
04:52
I don't know.
04:54
Jameer Gibbs, 1,200 yards rushing and 1,200 yards receiving.
04:57
The receiving part, I was off.
04:59
Wow.
05:00
It was lofty.
05:02
These are bold, man.
05:03
Yeah, Nolan, I hear you.
05:05
And sometimes dumb.
05:08
We'll get to some of the listener bold-ass predictions,
05:10
and then I got a question for the Lions fan base as it pertains.
05:14

Get to some rumbling stuff a little bit later on.
09:49
Got some venting to do today, Gator.
09:52
There will be venting.
09:54
Good, we could use some.
09:56
We've been holding off all week.
09:59
I mean, seriously.
10:02
Not a week of shows we were happy to do.
10:05
Not a week of shows we were happy to do.
10:08
It's still hard to believe.
10:10
I got a lot to get off my chest.
10:13
Got some grievances to air.
10:15
Okay, so these are pulled-ass predictions
10:18
for the beginning of the season.
10:20
I can read the 65 ones that were way off.
10:25
And some were close, like Max in Bath, Michigan.
10:30
Pulled-ass prediction, Jake Bates will break
10:32
the longest field goal record on a walk-off
10:34
game-winning field goal.
10:36
If he meant Lions' longest field goal,
10:38
the Lions' longest field goal was Matt Prater,
10:42
59 yards.
10:43
Bates hit one from 58.
10:45
That was close.
10:47
Sean in West Bloomfield, Jameer Gibbs will lead
10:49
the NFL in all-purpose yards
10:51
and become the best running back in the NFL.
10:53
I don't think he would get best running back in the NFL.
10:56
I think he'd get top five, and he also finished
10:59
third in all-purpose yards.
11:01
Yeah, unfortunately, it's in the same season
11:04
that Saquon Barkley and Derek Henry had.
11:06
It's tough to get there.
11:09
Pulled-ass predictions, this is from James in Toledo.
11:12
Listen to this one.
11:13
Lions will have five offensive players named
11:15
to the Pro Bowl.
11:17
They had five offensive players named to the Pro Bowl.
11:19
There you go.
11:20
His five were Goff, Gibbs, St. Brown, Jameo,
11:22
and Laporta.
11:24
Jameo in there, interesting.
11:25
Yeah, and the five were Goff, Gibbs, St. Brown,
11:27
Sewell, and Ragnow.
11:30
How did he forget Sewell?
11:32
Huh?
11:33
How did he forget Sewell?
11:34
I don't know.
11:35
None of them will play in the game because the Lions
11:36
are preparing for the Super Bowl.
11:39
Good God, now they can.
11:42
Bull-ass prediction, Jameo and St. Brown both get
11:44
over 1,000 yards, and Montee and Gibbs will both get
11:47
1,000 yards each, too.
11:49
That is from Paul in Dearborn.
11:52
Amun-Ra and Jameo both went over 1,000 yards receiving.
11:55
He was right on that.
11:57
Montee and Gibbs came close.
11:59
Montgomery's injury probably kept that from coming true.
12:01
That was a pretty good one, Paul in Dearborn.
12:05
Johnny in Allen Park said the Lions will go 16-1.
12:07
They went 15-2.
12:10
There are some decent ones in there.
