Lions sign prater

[kdp1980]

we just lost to buf at home....every game on the schedule should be viewed harder than that:

finishing away at chi and gb
traveling across an ocean to play Julio jones with our horrid secondary
@pats
@ari
vs saints

theres much tougher games than home vs buf nyg gb and away jets and car.

The Pats are nothing special, the Falcons lost to Minnesota, and gave up 41 points to them, the saints are overrated, and if Stanton starts against detroit he'll probably get a shit ton of delay of games penalties because he'll be making sure the Lions clipboard is ok. Not a fucking chance the Lions lose to Drew Stanton.

The names sound pretty, but get real. The Pats, Falcons, Saints now Chicago have been atrocious. This schedule 2 months ago was terrifying, but now it doesn't look as scary. You have to admit that. Not saying that we're going to roll any of these teams, but the odds of winning have increased dramatically.

totally agree our schedule looks easier than when the season began......but no odds of us winning should go up...especially after a loss at home vs buf when our offense cant score more than 7 points.

The Lions just lost to Kyle Orton and the Buffalo Bills at HOME. AZ already beat San Diego (only loss), 3-2 49ers and 3-2 NYG. That game is in Az...there is a good chance that Az wins that game.

Miami,Tampa,Chicago,Minnesota, at Minnesota we better win.

Need one of Saints or Falcons in London. But if we get 2 we don't have to worry about the later away games for wins if we handle our business at home.

And one of four of at Zona, at Pats, at Chicago, at GB. At Chicago is most likely. They too lost to Buffalo at home and we swept them last year.

That's 10 unless we beat both Saints/Falcons then still 11.

The next 3 week are huge. Get to 5-3 at worst.

This week is huge. Lose @ MN and could very well be 3-5 at the end of those 3 games. My guess is they are 4-4 after 8 games.

Agreed they need to respond on the road in a big division game. It's a must win. No predicitions because without Calvin it can go either way. Stop the run and they have a great chance now with an actual kicker. Ebron/Ross stepped up against Jets. Tate does his thing and just need 1 or 2 plays from someone else. It's not asking much especially if Vikings are without Harrison Smith.

If they can't beat MN on the road without their QB situation, AP the child beater and missing players on defense...this Lions team is NOT a playoff team. They might not be anyway...but this would be telling.

Bridgewater is playing. Smith missed practice yesterday, and if Greenway plays with all those injuries it's hard to believe he'll have much of an impact. Lions will win this one by a wide margin imo

That's what most people thought about the Bills game.

 

[dubbsco]

Lions beat an inferior team by 7 on the road. They won't blow Minnesota out, their offense has shown they are not capable of doing that.

I knew it was going to be a tough game. Buffalos d is no joke.

 

[biggunsbob]

The bills secondary was nothing special..

 

[kdp1980]

Marcel Dareus certainly is. I'm jealous

 

[LKP]

The bills secondary was nothing special..

Gilmore and McKelvin are first round picks. Aaron Williams is a second and good safety. Searcy playing well this year. Gilmore is recovered from his injury.

Henery was really kicking his own ass after the loss.

... he missed.
