That's right, you saw it here first. Many will laugh. But this blogger thinks the 2010 Detroit Lions are going to surprise a lot of people.
That's OK. Keep laughing.
Who they will play is up in the air of this blogger's mind. But the reason for the assertion is the new attitude of this 2010 Detroit Lions squad.
The New Detroit Lions are characterized by one single play. This one:
That was Ndamukong Suh, the Lions 2010 1st Round NFL Draft Pick. Suh was the 2009 Heisman Trophy Runner-Up to Alabama's Mark Ingram, and for good reason. He dominated the line-of-scrimage like no other college defensive lineman has in decades.
At his interview with the media at Radio City Music Hall, Suh, the engineering major, was all business:
Suh is the next "Mean" Joe Greene. The Pittsburgh Steeler's Legend bright the right amount of bad ass to a Steeler team of the early 70s that, before his arrival, had not one winning season in 40 years of existence. The Steelers and Greene went on to win four Super Bowls.
In addition to Suh, over the last two years, the Lions have added Quarterback Matt Stafford, Cal Running Back Jahvid Best, and Wide Receiver Calvin Johnson. All young playmakers.
But Suh gives them the attitude.

While I'm not predicting that level of success for the Lions, I do predict a deep playoff run. They may play the New Orleans Saints, but for some reason I don't see the Super Bowl Champions getting even even that far.
