Game 17: Vikings @ Lions Thread

[tomdalton22]

All this winning makes draft threads super boring lol...

I think you will be able to start it next Monday.

Rams vs. Lions, exactly what I was hoping for. The score is going to look like a Pac 12 game 35-31 type game.

Ya stafford will have a field day vs this defense.

Our O needs to have a great day to keep it close.

42-37... not sure who's going to win yet.

Defense will need to step up and get after him he doesn?t scramble for yards much so get after it

We had 9 games this season where we scored at least 30 points.

Packers are McCarthy?s old team. I wonder which game will be the Monday night game?

I?d bet Lions / Rams. I don?t see a better storyline in any of the other wildcard games. Maybe Dallas/Green Bay.

Lions showing as a 3.5 favorite with the early line.

Lions offense should have a field day against the Rams secondary hopefully... I remember hearing in the Rams superbowl run that Stafford was great against the blitz that season. Hopefully the guys can get some sacks and the back end can hold up. Didn?t Taylor for the Giants light up the Rams a few weeks back ?

Seriously we get it man. You're picking the rams. 5 posts about it is enough.

I was joking about the Lions losing. I'm not sure how I will go with the game. 3.5 is a good line. I already bet the over.

Early indications on LaPorta?s injury suggest that he?ll be out for at least next week?s game against the Rams, according to Campbell and NFL Network?s Ian Rapoport:

Lions tight end Sam LaPorta suffered a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise in the team?s 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings and is likely to miss some time, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.

?The best way I can put it is it?s not as bad as it looked, but it?s not good news,? head coach Dan Campbell said of the injury in his postgame news conference. ?We?ll know more tomorrow. I know it looked awful. It?s not as bad as that.?

Zach Ertz is still available. Dan is probably too arrogant to add a new guy though.

I wouldn't sign Ertz unless Laporta was out for the year. I still might not do it.

You always seem to have opinions, yet rarely add any reasons for your opinions. We're already down Wright, now laporta. That leaves us with Mitchell and Firsker. We'll need another tight end. Might as well sign a vet that at least knows his head from his ass. Plus our tight end coach coached him the last couple years so he's familiar with him.

So the much ballyhooed return to Ford Field by Matt Shepherd occurs a week from today at 5 pm LA time, looks like.

We?ll see how Stanford looks against his former team, as we?ll see how his former teammate Jarred Goth looks against his former team.

I don't see any reasoning behind this "opinion" that he should be added.

Yeah there was - he?s a vet who at least knows his head from his ass.

Sounds like good reasoning to me.

his first post didn't have a reason.

 

[gotime909]

his first post didn't have a reason.

The reason is that we're down our top 2 tight ends. Kind of obvious we'll need to add

What about LeBron James?

He was a tight end in high school.

Like, all Ohio.

That would be the best case scenario.
