Last win in Indy - 1991. I know we don't play them often but DAYUM. I was at the game last time we beat them in the silverdome. Barry went off.

So if we win then a playoff win happens?

Indy has some big injuries.. At the start I would have put that at a loss, not any more.

Lions DT Tyrunn Walker (calf) is questionable for Week 1.
Walker practiced fully all week. It's not clear how questionable he is given the league's new injury rules. A'Shawn Robinson or Khyri Thornton would start if Walker doesn't play.

That's the way history works right? It repeats itself? Honestly though those early 90s teams were legit.

I wonder why this is an afternoon game?

Cause I told them I work until 4.

Haven't paid too much attention to the lions yet, have no idea what to expect from them this year other than the running game still looks to be horrid from what little I did see, why is Tate listed as questionable?

No more probable designation in the NFL.

Anyone want to offer up a prediction? I say we win tomorrow, the Colts are down both CBs. 28-27 Leos.

Heard somewhere that Luck is basically on a pitch count this week. That shoulder has got to be a big concern if this is true

Thank God!! I'm going to the Tigers game with the family. Getting out of there around the 7th inning

[Mitchrapp]

After watching the GB game I've watched 2 games this season and they were both awesome. Too bad GB won but still a great game.

 

[tigermud]

stsrted stafford over Winston today, already looking like a mistake

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hopefully Detroit's offense is on the NFL Redzone a lot.
