Detroit had this game circled as soon as the schedules came out

I can't imagine a scenario where we contain their weapons unless they have some key injuries I am unaware of.

They will probably dial up a trick play or two as payback for last year.

Wouldn't surprise me if they win by 30.
 Someone has been paying attention.

yes the lions are better than Pittsburg on O. but same stuff was said about Pittsburgh, we would lose big..hmm

by the way i predict our team will finally step up with provide to win at HOME.. they will be tired of being disrespected at home and use this game to prove point.
Hold this L.

I don't know why they are angry with the Cowboys. It was the refs that called the penalty on them. Dallas was ready to give them the game.

But I have this as another blowout loss. The Lions have all the weapons that seems to give the Cowboys fits, a fast RB, WR speed and a solid offensive line.
Yep.

I think both the Lions and the Cowboys don’t feel like they‘re only wild card teams. It’s only been 5 games. Cowboys are only 1 game out of first and the Lions only a half game out.
One of these years people around here will finally get it in their heads the standings often change after Week 5.

Yep. Revenge game for a Lions team that's already better and had an extra week to prepare.

They should curb stomp us Sunday.

I guess people don't realize how beat up Pittsburgh's OL was, and how bad Fields is.

Detroit would be the better team even if we were healthy, but we're going to beat them when our defense is missing its best player and is down to practice squad DE's?

The only chance for this to even be a game is for our offense to explode, which it hasn't all year.

Point was made - anybody can be beat. Do you have some crystal ball that shows the outcome of games between teams that havent played?
Well yeah, anything can happen. But the overwhelming evidence suggests they are the superior team and should win. Our two wins haven't exactly been against the elite or healthy of the NFL.

We haven't shown ourselves to be a good enough team to be clear favorites against any team in the NFL. Certainly not against one that made it to the conference championship game last year and is a young team on the rise. Let's keep the quality of our wins in perspective.

Dont want to hear injury excuses when we’re down 4-5 key defensive players. Next man up.

And that's fair. But by & large the healthier team wins in the NFL. So, not only were we not great when we were healthy but now we also have significant injuries. Not a combination that Vegas will favor often.

I think the Lions are one of the most balanced teams right now. I can't see one position where we are better, including coaching.

35-17 Lions

If Detroit comes out aggressive, which seems likely, they probably batter the crud out of us. We Need to make it a football game and not a war, we are too soft for combat.
All it takes is a bomb or two...it will take away their aggressiveness and put them to sleep. Play smart and under control, not stupid and overly aggressive.

They have arguably one of the most talented offenses in the league. RB, WR, TE, OLine and QB...........who do you try and stop or take away?
With a good scouting report and game plan, you don't guess...you take the game as it comes, play within yourself and take away the one with the ball.

Maybe they want it more than you, that's how a quitter thinks. I see your quitter personality is awake today...put that sucker back to bed and wake up your, rah, rah, go team personality.
