Louis Friend Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Chicago played Lions tough a couple weeks ago. They are coming off their bye and are well rested. Detroit needs to win the winnable games. Containing Fields and forcing turnovers is a must. Lions cannot give the ball away. ETA: Just realized this is our final outdoor game of the regular season.

Sllim Pickens Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 As of now, its supposed to be upper 30s with snow/rain mix after a day of rain on Saturday. Could be a rough day for passing but good for running which is tough with Fields playing. Need to find a way to contain him and spy him. As a Lions fan I am just inherently nervous about games like this, especially after losing to the Packers, but I still think we win this game handedly. 34-17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 I’m not quite as confident in the score, I’ll take an ugly win. Just keep winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 The weather will probably make the offensive game plan revolve around David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta and ARSB. I could see Jameson Williams making a lot more noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Do you think the Lions will run more stunts, twists ect to compensate for the loss of Alim McNeil? Maybe dial up additional blitzes If Alex Anzalone is playing also? Edited December 6, 2023 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely have enough NTs and guys like Paschal and Cominsky can be the DEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, after witnessing last few weeks games i'm guessing something like 24-27 win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears have a pretty good defense. We have to put points on the board early and not let Justin Fields make easy completions. I don't have the link but I saw in an article that the Lions have been allowing 28 pts per game over their last six games. We should be able to do much better than that against the Bears.

Hopefully we look better, but I'm good with Chicago scoring 30 on us as long as we score at least 31. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 It looks like we caught a break with the weather. It is projected to be cold and sunny. That should make things a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detfan782004 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Gotta learn to contain mobile QB better. So it's time to see if Glenn can pull his head out and adjust from last game where Fields busted a 100 Yea they won but this is good test to see if they adjusted or someone like Hurts in playoffs is gonna dog this team on ground 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Tso Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Bruce Irvin not currently elevated. Suspicion is that he got injured from the last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 3 games up on Minny/GB with 5 games to go. Magic number is 3. Any combo of Lions wins/their losses clinches it. Need Vegas and Giants to help us out this week.
