Three Degrees Of Pat Caputo 4-23-11

Three reasons, even before the draft and signing of free agents, I see the Lions going at least 9-7 or better in 2011:

1. The Lions' coaching staff has been together for two seasons the program is established.

2. The LIons have big-time playmakers in Ndamukong Suh, Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford (and I believe Stafford will remain healthy).

3. The Vikings and Bears in the NFC North are losing ground.
