Apparition Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Squaring off against a familiar face should help get this team back on track. The Lions have all kinds of issues on defense right now. I'm willing to call Stafford's week 1 performance a fluke, but I've never thought especially highly of him as a QB anyway. The biggest challenge in this game will be keeping their great trio of receivers (Tate, Jones and Golladay) from running rampant against a secondary that struggled with Jacksonville's unheralded group.

SBLIII Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 31-20 Patriots. Bounce back game for NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well, if we don't figure out a way of stopping the crossing routes, it will be a high scoring affair. Matt knows that weakness as well as anyone. We need to bounce back, but they need it more. 0-3 teams never get to playoffs, so they're fighting for their lives (although, not sure if they're fighting for Matty P....) 34-27, NE and we get the running game going. Their run D is appalling with very little talent at DT and MLB. Their MLB can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlNFL19 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Detroit will have issues covering Rob Gronkowski, James White, Josh Gordon (if he plays), Phillip Dorsett, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Michel also looked pretty good in the passing game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Up to this point, Detroit has probably looked like one of the worst teams in the league. Patricia wasn't ready to take over a team. I don't know why they never learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Lions are a mess. Might motivate them to try harder. If not, Pats should be heavy favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was awful. Could have won the game if he takes that pass to the house or even first down. Was game over after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Pats are expected to win judging by this poll. No votes for the Lions. So, thoughts on if the Pats lose and Lions win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's November, December and January where we become the Pats everyone hates. But that said, yeah that will suck big time because Lions are tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
