[QUOTE=skinsfan69;1321714]I didn't understand why every got so down on the guy after a fumble in a pre season game. He is everything you want in a back in today's NFL.[/QUOTE]


Because everyone was hoping his fumble issues were behind him…until he touched the ball again?

I think we're going to stomp the Lions. We haven't even begun to see what this offense of ours can do.

Time goes by fast. Already Thursday. Only a few more days until we take command, lol. I still hate that line so much.

I found it so corky at first. But it's starting to gain on me a little bit.
My issue is I still don't know how you sing the "new" fight song, too many syllables to fit the same melody...

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1321712]Any of those that included covering Kirk one one one, I'm disregarding. That's putting him in a position to fail.[/quote]

This is a great point! Does this really make sense to put a LB on their fastest WR?? Especially multiple times! How often was Urlacher lined up to cover Desean Jackson?? It's just dumb.

So what? I think we're going to score 35 points or more in this game. Wentz's confidence should be way up and I think he's ready to distribute the ball all over the place for big play after big play. We have so much offensive talent that we're bound to run some team out of the stadium. This is the week.

There is one caveat; that is, the only one who can keep us under 35 points is Ron Rivera.

Why not play 7 DB's? We've got some DB's who can play the run and they're bound to cover receivers better than our LB's. Some of our DB's are hard hitters, too. We might even get some turnovers if we play them.

Fuller, Jackson, St-Juste, Curl, Forrest, Reaves, and Butler.

Re: Pre game Thread - Commanders at Lions Sun 1 pm
 

I feel like we will put up points against this Lions Defense…we need our defense to step up.

We will

Skins: 33
Lions:24

Prior to the 49 yarder to Terry, we went:

Punt
Fumble
End of half
punt
punt
interception
interception

If the safety had hedged over Terry more or Wentz throws an inaccurate ball ... the 49 yarder to Terry doesnt happen and we likely lose

That is some extreme what if’n there SS. Wentz threw an absolute dime.

Yeah we're lucky. Terry could have fallen down too. Thank goodness none of that happened.

Re: Pre game Thread - Commanders at Lions Sun 1 pm
 

I don’t even know what to think about this game. I honestly would not be surprised at any outcome. A blowout going either way or a close game going either way. I think they are all in play here.

You got two teams both thinking, “if we want to compete this year we have to beat this team”.
I still have zero faith in our HC, DC, and OC. None of them have been consistently good for any real stretch since they have been here hence our win loss record during that time.

Again my heart says we win a close one. My brain says we lose a close one.

That being said before the season started our schedule outside of week 2 looked rough. Now it does not. Dallas, GB, Tennessee all looking like possible W’s now.

Good Q and A's from Detroit and Washington fan sites:

One thing both agree on is Detroits RB are going to be a difference maker

Eagles too, they let DET score 35 on them... Also The Lions D is trash, if you watched Hard knocks they Let Goff eat them up in most practices and he's very AVG.

Dallas will be a tough game regardless , their D is insane
