[LKP]

Pumped for this one after the bullshit 5 turnover debacle last year missing best broyles burleson and pettigrew.

No Daryl Washington or cooper for them. Big day for bush and the tight ends.

Worry about fitz and Calais Campbell and dockett

 

[Mitchrapp]

5 losses in a row to Arizona. Need to change that..

Wait a minute, we had 5 TO's and Fumblegrew missed the game? Yeah, that bodes well.

They were all unlucky. The Lions should have won that game!

 

[LKP]

Peterson push off, Durham wrong route, stafford forcing to scheffler, turnover on downs down big already and Logan muffed punt.

Lions win the turnover battle and win big

Dude, I hope they win too and think they will but come on. You're telling me there won't be a push off or a wrong route or a forced throw etc? That's football and they happen all the time, especially the Lions.

 

[LKP]

No they don't happen all the time. The lions can easily win the turnover battle especially with the cards poor oline.

Cards can keep it close with their passing attack but lions have more talent

You also said Fumblegrew wouldn't fumble like he did last year, it was an anomaly and yet 1 game in and he's a fumbling.

 

[LKP]

Different kind of fumble. Some are anomalies. Pettigrew never lost a fumble his first three years. Last year were anomalies getting hit as he turned. This one was poor ball control and a missed block

Oh I get it. An INT is different when the QB makes a bad throw to one where he just throws badly. Lol.

LKP thinks the Lions were a playoff team last year if it weren't for bad luck.

A street backup ran a bad route and Logan is gone. Peterson push off should have been pi.

You make it sound like we don't have "street backup" on the 2013 team. We have Bush, CJ and crap..or as you call it "street backup."

At this point we don't have street back ups, some might think they belong on the street, but what he's getting at is that we didn't sign them off the street mid season like last year.

Arizona's slot receiver Andre Roberts is really good, nickel back (Bently?) is going to have their hands full especially on 3rd down.

I don't really see a distinction between "street" and "crap". Some talent comes from the street - Kurt Warner for one..

But warner wasn't "from the street" he went through training camp and earned a spot on the 53, he had time to learn the system before he was thrown out there. Wasn't bell a security guard one week then the next he was toting the rock for us? Now that's a guy "off the street" and it worked out. Doesn't necessarily mean they are complete crap but it more than likely means they don't know what they are doing (system wise) so they will make mistakes like running the wrong route.

 

[jrange378]

I have a good feeling about this Lions team. I'm feeling a 2 touchdown victory.

Warner spent an entire year with the Rams in 1998 before he got his shot in 1999.
