Want to talk about the Lions defense?

Don't forget QB play when listing negatives from those 2 games.

Seattle, Denver, New England

There the only teams that can beat the cowboys. If the Cowboys defense hold up, I think only Seattle can beat them!

Take out Denver and replace them with GB

They have a good front four that will pose a challenge. It's one we can overcome. They're inconsistent on offense and their defense keeps them in games. Force them into a shootout and they'll run out of ammo before we do.

There stats are skewed just like you said as they played a lot of bad teams with lousy offenses. Watch how Green Bay is going to torch them this weekend as this game will be over by the half.

Here's a look at their opponents' average for the season, compared to playing just the Lions:

Total yards per game:
Versus Lions - 295.9
Season Average - 342.5

Passing yards per game:
Versus Lions - 232.1
Season Average - 238.7

Rushing yards per game:
Versus Lions - 63.8
Season Average - 103.7

Points per game:
Versus Lions - 16.8
Season Average - 22.3

It's a pretty good defense.

Basically they shut down the run. I'm confident in our passing game being able to carry us though and believe we'd win shoot out if the game came to that.

However, if we do find success running it's ball game for sure.

Maybe. But Denver is more than capable of flipping the switch.I can't count them out and I should've listed GB. Even though I think we're tougher in the guts(as I said about Philly). They've always been soft!!

Arizona defensive front would give us trouble as well.

I think mr. Linehan may have an idea as to how to stop 81.. Just a thought..

a bright thought there

If I didn't have last year's memories in my head, I wouldn't be worried about this one at all.

I have watched almost all of the Green Bay game this season. They've have been very up and down on offense. They had 2 games in a row with over 50 points but also only scored 7 in the 1st game against the Lions and only 13 a couple of weeks ago against the Bills. Their receivers had an extreme number of drops in the Bills game. It was really weird.

Personally I fear Detroit more than any other team, for some reason we don't match up well with them. Having said that This team is funny about "Revenge" games so I expect our Boys will play with a major emotional chip on their shoulders and pull out a W, it just might not come easy though...

You read my mind. I agree with this post 100%
