The 2nd of 3 straight that I get to watch. Hopefully they put up a fight, and show some energy.

Bell out, Zenner in

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...-rb-joique-bell-seattle-seahawks-ankle-injury

Seattle may be without Lynch, Seattle's offense isn't overly impressive IMO, but even without lynch I highly doubt they are starting their season 1-3 and losing to the Lions at home.. Even without Lynch the Lions will still lose.. i'll go with something like 16-6 Seattle

Why will the Lions lose, two primary reasons.

1. Boring predicable Caldwell Joe assclown show
2. Because overall as a team, they aren't very good

0-4

Added one for you.

Thank You Mitch!

After all the talk during the week on predictability and defenses knowing what they are doing, I do expect to see a few different looks at least. it'll prolly blow up in their face though as all the dummies up front won't know what the F is going on in real time.

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least we can't blame Bell for this one.

At least we can't blame Bell for this one.

I like Bell still, I don't think he has been 100% they should have gone with Zenner to start with until Bell is back to 100%, he runs hard when he's 100%

Just another dumb coaches decision to keep throwing him out there less than 100%. Caldwell Joe truly is worse than Ausmus, that's hard to top, but they did it!

 

[cheeno]

Levy doubtful.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Levy doubtful.

Another true win.

 

[cheeno]

Warford unlikely.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Warford unlikely.

What happened to full practice?

What happened to full practice?

Downgraded to limited Friday. Maybe reaggrevated it?

Dink and dunk Joe, Lombardi turned the lions offense into a dink and dunk three ring circus clown show

Detroit Lions say WR Calvin Johnson same player at age 30 despite minimal downfield usage

Thus far, his 20 receptions have netted just 199 yards and he's barely been utilized as a downfield threat. In fact, the grab against Talib was the only pass Johnson has caught all season that's traveled more than 12 yards through the air.

On average, the passes Johnson has caught have traveled an average of 6.4 yards through the air, by far the fewest in his career. At this point, he hasn't been able to make up the difference in yards after the catch as defenders have generally been dropping him right as the ball arrives.

im dumb for saying this....but I think the lions have a decent shot in this game. Maninly cause I don't see seattles offense as being very explosive.

You don't see their offense as explosive?

 

[zyxt9]

no worries, the Lions D has a history of making underperforming offenses look Super.

Something tells me we win, ive been walking around seattle last 3 days, they seem worried, idk, makes no sense, except were do

 

[kdp1980]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm extremely excited to not see Bell in the lineup, and not seeing one snap. Abdullah and Zenner takeover, with a bit of Riddick mixed in there

How are we going to stretch the field with an oline that can't give the qb enough time for routes to develop?

Lol. That might be the dumbest thing I've heard yet.

I like to be positive at times but we're getting crushed.
