McCarthy: The Lions will be our biggest challenge of the year

The 49ers game seemed like quite a challenge.

Hopefully what happened to CeeDee Lamb Sunday will not be repeated this weekend. I have been watching Lions games practically all season. Amon-Ra St. Brown is usually targeted in all four quarters within Detroit's offense. Lamb will likely not appreciate seeing the opponent's number one wide receiver getting love throughout the game if he is being denied it.

I agree I never want to see what happened to lamb happen again. There was no excuse to it not get him the ball for two and a half quarters in some way shape or form. It is a big reason why we lost the game

Lamb will probably have another big day at home. Detroit's pass D is slightly below average.

I'm having a hard time understanding how McCarthy would think facing Detroit at home is tougher than the SF and BUF games on the road.

Lamb had a big day on the road this past weekend. It should have been WAY bigger.

Good way to motivate and see who's going to rise to the challenge. I think recently the Cowboys felt they were the best team after the Philly game and fell flat in Buffalo. Refocused for Miami, but just came up short on 1 more negative play.

Have to reinstill execution and a tougher mentality in pushing through adversity in game.

 

[Zekeats]

Lol, this guy waits to say this when we get a home game. 9ers, Bills wiped the floor with us, by far our biggest challenges. Now the lions are a good team with a terrible QB but we get them at home. Why open ur fat mouth, just like the owner.

Does he think the Lions game is in Jan 1st?

 

[glimmerman]

MM saying this because he knows we come out swinging. Could be wrong but don’t be surprised if we absolutely smoke this team. Also it maybe a close one but really see us winning it big..

 

[OGSixshooter]

We will get blown out

I think it will be similar to the Seattle game. A bunch of points scored and Dallas wins in the end by 7 or fewer...

 

[Zordon]

We are playing at home. They will be back front running like usual.

McCarthy is already scared.

Detroit has a top 5 offense and can run the ball. One of the best offensive lines in the league. We all have seen what Goff can do when he is protected. Quality team.

First thing I Thought of too. if this is going to be a tougher challenge than that, I may not even bother to watch......

True but from my perspective, they are leaking oil right now.
turnovers have been an issue for them recently.
secondary has some issues.

and Dallas is at home, where it seems very evident they are a better team.
normally I'd be nervous about this game but I feel the Cowboys may win comfortably, possibly 10 or more points.

the one guy that should be keeping us up is Aidan Hutchinson. he can wreck a QB's psyche almost on his own, if he gets going.

It's overblown. There we a total of like 7 pass plays during those quarters.

They have weaknesses but they are the classic team that literally has to just win one playoff game and everyone will be happy. They are not under any kind of pressure to beat us.

I'm not sure about the biggest challenge but the Lions' offense is a different animal. The Eagles and 49ers have 2/3 explosive players but the Lions have a ton of very, very good offensive weapons and their OC uses every one of them.
