Bush should have an Ok game, IMO ... he was part of that 'first-running-back-tandem-to-each-have-over-500yds-rushing/receiving' NFL record last season and that is one of the improved areas from the last DET/NO lmeeting I was referring to. |

You guys have found a good balance where to best utilise his skill set, although I'd love for him to go back to the dancing Reggie of old in 2 weeks time, just for one game Stafford will come out slinging to test our D though, pass rush is as vital as ever for us if we hope to stop him |

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
Detroit is loaded with ex-Saints. That usually means disaster for us.
This game will come down to the usual. Turnovers and team discipline. If we play our A-game, we win. Anything else is probably not good enough. |

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
Hoping the BYE week cures some ills. Hoping going into the bye with a win makes us get this together, but man oh man we have issue at LB... bad.

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
I have no idea which team will show up for this game on either side. But if Reggie Bush beats us, I will know Karma is real SOB.

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
Pressure on Stafford. Give him the time we gave Glennon, et al - we are gonna get burned for 400yds+ passing.

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
Detriot is a dam good football team. Need to bring the A-Game. I hope our O-Line is feeling better. They will have their hands full.

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
Is Ingram gonna play, because we could use him. Drew can't do it by himself anymore.

Re: Looking ahead to @DET
I've been praying for us to draft a linebacker with our first or second round picks for the last 3 years or so. Historically the best linebackers, or defensive talent in general is drafted in the first two rounds. We haven't had two second round picks in the last 2/3 drafts, but still we need one badly. I was hoping for Jerry Attaouchu in the second. Seeing as SJB has nothing to offer this year it looks like it would've been the right move.

The general consensus is Stafford is holding on to the ball too long and is lost without Megatron, despite having been given multiple offensive weapons this season. He did seem to be turning it around from a tough last season, but the Buffalo game showed he can still be rattled back there with some pressure. Johnson has a lingering ankle injury that was aggravated vs the Bills. It's being bandied about that he should rest Wk #6 vs the Vikings so he'll be in better shape & available Wk #7 vs the Saints. It's not looking too good for the Lions here on out ... just sayin', . |
