I thought Levy's injury was his hip?

Hip is right, Pride of Detroit made a mistake...well I hope so.

Put up or shut up time for this offense. They better score 30+.. it is time for Matt to start putting teams away.

Need to win this one, no excuse not to. Very happy that Slay is probable. Hopefully Lawson is active this week, we WILL need him

Tomlinson back to the bench

I thought maybe the parasite moved.

Holy shit yes.......we'll need all hands on deck to get a W with a game plan anywhere close to last weeks.

HAVE to get more aggressive offensively and defensively. Nobody in the NFL wins by just sitting back waiting for others to make a mistake. These are professionals......you have to force them to make mistakes by disguising schemes well and forcing them into quick decisions.

Bridgewater will look like Steve Young/Joe Montana if we just sit back like last week.

When's the last time we had a first rounder actually contribute consistently?....suh? Mayhew is brilliant.

I'd say Ziggy produces pretty consistently. So does Reiff. Ebron.......well, one game in this year with positive results.

Weird to say since it's the 2nd game of the season but it seems like a must win if this team has any chance of getting to 10 wins and sniffing the playoffs. Offense needs to find the end zone. And get AA about 20 touches.

Agree 100%. 17-20 touches for AA. 6-10 touches for CJ and Tate each.

Win and lose with your horses. Stop outsmarting yourself.

I would think he was meaning as a rookie. But not sure.

 

[mhughes0021]

Yes. ..as a rookie. Ansah is fair enough....but reiff was a part time fb part time bench warmer.

 

[adam86107]

I foresee a breakout game for AP.

Fixed, fuck AP

Your act is as tiresome as LKP's.

 

[mhughes0021]

Your act is as tiresome as LKP's.

Ya its my fault our oline blows and we play reiff at full back and bench tomlinson during their rookie years. Totally all me. I was the one that told caldwell to only run abdullah 7 times too.

Van Noy sighting!!
