It def helps that Jordan Reed is out, but I had forgotten that they also have Vernon Davis as a backup TE. While he is up there in age and not the same player he once was, I can still see him having a big day tomorrow.

No worries...I have Jordan Reed on my fantasy team so I picked up Davis. That will prevent him from doing anything tomorrow.

That's how my season has gone. I picked up Adams from Green Bay last week....he gets hurt and does nothing. I drop him and pick up someone else.....he dominated the Bears!

2-4 so far
 
I don't think we win this game. This completely balanced offense is going shred our defense worse than our normal shredding. It will not come down to an untimely turnover like the past weeks. 6 TD passes by Stafford, or we lose this game handedly.

I hate to say it..... but my gut feeling says you're right. We are going to go with our "bend but don't break"....rush 4.....drop everyone else defense and Washington will march down the field often.

Lions 28
Washington 38

We give up 480 yards to the kissing Cousins....330 through the air and 150 on the ground. Cousins completes more than 75%.

Stafford goes for 350 and 3 TD himself.......but we can't do anything more than hang for 3 quarters before Washington goes up by 17 in the 4th and we score a nearly meaningless TD late.

PLEASE let this be the game we get the old T. Austin back and decide to bring some pressure. C'mon football gods.....my Spartans are 2-5 and looking at a 40 pt. beat down next week.......give me some effective blitzes!!!!!
 
To win we have to protect Stafford. The Skins have got their pass rush going as of late.

on the flip side. Washingtons oline only gives up a qb pressure on 20% of snaps, leading the league. And detroits defense is allowing the highest comp % for opposing qbs. Stats say Cousins should have a field day today.

Scary. We need to run the ball to be successful on both accounts. Control the ball, slow the rush. We have Zenner and Forsett and a poor run blocking oline.
