Time to move the F on, let's talk about the Lions

Man oh man, I'm very worried about this game. Very worried. Alot of people are picking the Lions to win... and I have absolutley no problem with that. I think the Lions have a very good shot at breaking their streak. If the Redskins offense plays in the Red Zone like they did last week, I dont' care how well our defense plays, I would almost gaurantee the Lions win. I think they're a better team than St. Louis is.

That being said, across the board we have much more talent than the Lions. If it werent for a long run by Stephen Jackson on one play that Hall took a bad angle last week, we probaboly shut out the Rams. (and if Avery dosent fumble, we might lose, too). Offensivley, Detroit was able to score against New Orleans, and played a good 1st Quarter against Minnesota. I think the Redskins have always played better under pressure, and they're under alot of pressure this week. They're being absolutley trashed on offense, and rightfully so. This game goes one of two ways, if you ask me... We get our asses in gear and score a few touchdowns and win comforatbly like 24-7 or something like that. However, if its a close game, I think Detroit will win. Here's hoping the Skins' jump out to a 10-14 point lead early and take control of the game.

I'm gonna go with the first route, because I want to belive in this team and say 24-7 Redskins.

I will not be shocked if it ends up going Detroits way.

Considering the way the season has gone for us so far, I could see the Lions looking at this game feeling they have a chance to win. Don't think it's going to happen but I can understand their aspirations.

Very well said, and exactly my thoughts as well.
