Anyone else concerned with matchup problems..

With the lions like i am?
They have a better receiving core the the skins and im also concerned about the middle of our o-line against their d-line.
Then again i dont think their linebackers or secondary is as good as the skins so we may be able to put up a few more points.

They are 3-0 coming in with a lot of Mo on their side and I expect a tough game. I think Dallas may have to roll the pocket to slow down Suh from getting a big push up the middle.

As for the WR we have played them before including last season where we controlled Calvin Johnson to 46 yards on 6 catches.

The main key will be getting to Stafford

Thanks for pointing out the difference between corps and core Chesty Puller.:laugh2:

Shaun Hill was also the QB that day.

As I said we have got to get to Stafford but I don't expect the Cowboys to fall to their knees and praise the Lions. They are a good team and Dallas will need to get ready but I expect them to go out and beat them period. Not saying it will be easy. Don't forget we had Kitna as our starting QB

I'm scared of going against a 4-3 defense. The Vikings front four always gave us problems and I think the Lions are even better up front. Plus they might get Nick Fairley back

Sure, you have to be concerned about the Lions.

I'm actually glad they won yesterday, though. I think they'd have been a lot more focused and angry if they'd lost to the Vikes.

Typically we've performed worse against than 3-4 than the 4-3 defense. Makes sense, given that over the last several years (prior to it coming back into vogue) that defense has been run mostly by very good teams.

All the same, you can't just dismiss the Lions this year, even if they HAVE had an easy schedule so far.

Great points. I think the Lions are for real though. I expect a difficult game but one we can win if we get a few guys back.

The Lions are a good squad and will be in the playoffs this year if Stafford stays healthy. I am worried about this game for sure. We will need to get pressure on Stafford if we want to win this one. And we will need to protect Romo.

They are ranked 4th in the league in passing and 6th overall defense. I am not sure if that is due to the pass rush or the talent on the back end. I am not sure what to make of Detroit. They also have the 4th best passing offense. This team on paper appears to be far superior than our previous opponents.
