[tigermud]

Not optimistic too many injuries defense needs to figure out how to get some pressure

 

[LKP]

Think Lions have bad run d and lose a shootout

 

[mhughes0021]

Gibbs with 7 carries
Campbell plays 20 snaps... doesnt do much
Broderik martin...who?

Nice draft holmes.

 

[biggunsbob]

I hope the Lions rebound and play well . Injuries are a real concern.

 

[LKP]

Moseley, Decker, Montgomery, Vaitai, Houston/Julian, Kerby Joseph, CGJ, Jameson, Paschal all out

Falcons missing Patterson only

Lions need their a game in run d

 

[manchild98]

I feel like we have to win this game and the Green Bay game. Defense needs a big day and offense can't turn the ball over today.

 

[mhughes0021]

Nice play AA

 

[Monster]

3 and out!

 

[biggunsbob]

Watch the fake please.

 

[biggunsbob]

Really fair catch ?

 

[Monster]

And the offense is shit now

 

[biggunsbob]

Yikes the line is not playing good at all.

Captain check down.

 

[mhughes0021]

Inspiring offense right there

 

[biggunsbob]

I may have to mute the sound. Someone is doing bird calls.

 

[biggunsbob]

Go hurry up to protect this offense on a few possessions. Idk something.

 

[gotime909]

I love Ben, but he really needs to work on his running game play calls. Can't just run straight up the gut every time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Offense needs a short field .
