nagahide13 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We either get Baker or revenge on Matt Patty. I'm fer it. I'm much more confident moving into this game than I was with the Rams even though we don't really know who we're playing yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hopefully James Houston and James Mitchell can come back this week.  I don’t care who we get, I’m not afraid. I’d rather play Baker than Hurts but neither team is scary at the moment.  At least SF type scary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagahide13 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 In the last 4 games Detroit has given up; 6 catches, 141 yards, 1 TD to Justin Jefferson. Win. 13 catches 221 yards 1 TD to Cedee Lamb. Loss. 12 catches 192 yards 1 TD to Justin Jefferson. Win. 9 catches 181 yards 1 TD to Puka Nacua. Win. The only "loss" was the Cowboys. I have no idea how they're winning these games giving up these numbers. The Eagles and Bucs have 2 great receivers apiece. I'm not sure which group I think is better and I'm not sure which I'd rather face. I love that we're so effective against the run, but this seems like a real problem that needs to be fixed somehow.

I don’t think it’s getting fixed until the off-season. The only other way I see it is if Houston comes back and blows it up on the pressure front. however, the new strategy might be you can only beat us with your one guy and make your team completely one dimensional. If it works, although I hate it, it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are taking away the run and forcing teams to throw. Then bend but don’t break defense. You can throw the ball 89 yds, but if we hold you to a FG or less, it’s a win. It’s by design. Yards don’t win games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have the pieces defensively to shut guys down yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Just realized that if Pittsburgh loses today, NFC North is the only division with two teams still alive. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, I thought it would be the Vikings and not the Packers. I had Packers third. Jordan Love has played much better than I expected so quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this division is going to be TOUGH next year. Edited January 15 by LionArkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Don’t look now, but Lions have the 3rd best odds to make the Superbowl. 😎 Ravens are 1 and SF is 2, but soak it up while we can. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
