Bucs good defense and Lions huge injury disadvantage to them makes me nervous. But if Detroit executes like they have been they can get another big road win. Lions run game will be key to keep the offense humming. And st brown back is big too

 

[boogerlovejoy]

At some point the injuries will catch up with them. I don't think it's this week, though. I think it will be next week at Baltimore.

Lions 27
Bucs 17

Lions get 2 big INT's and a solid game from the offense. 250 passing. 100 rushing.

Another team win without any individual standout.

I do think JMo gets a 40+ yard play.

Going to be a tough test with Tampa at home coming off a bye week. Warmer weather so hopefully guys have been hydrating a bunch to keep from cramping. I could see our offense struggling especially if LaPorta isn't quite as mobile. Sounds like a good time to figure out a way to hit Jamo on a bomb. Hopefully our defense can show up huge again and create a few turnovers. I believe Baker has only been sacked 4 times this season. Winning ugly would be just fine.

Seattle loses to the Bengals.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cleveland?s back up qb is terrible. Gets bailed out by SF flag.

 

[biggunsbob]

Walker the back up qb for Cleveland is a idiot. He should have ran the ball on 2nd down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Cleveland commits a dumb penalty lets SF off the hook.

 

[biggunsbob]

No free runners please.

 

[biggunsbob]

Punt safe , play safe !

 

[manchild98]

Hutch looked like he was held on that 3rd down.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just left it go inside the 5 please.

 

[Monster]

Wow i missed TB first series. Was watching Sf lose. I thought this game didn't start until 430

 

[Monster]

Hutch looked like he was held on that 3rd down.

He gets held or doubled on almost every play. It's crazy

 

[Monster]

Does it feel like the camera is lower and more zoomed in than normal?

 

[biggunsbob]

Gotta be ready for the blitz JG .

 

[biggunsbob]

Wow i missed TB first series. Was watching Sf lose. I thought this game didn't start until 430

Did they miss a fg or was it downs ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Pick !
