Lions are slowing laying beating on NE tonight

#56fanatic · 08-28-2011, 09:05 AM

I watched the game as well. And what Detroit can do with that D-Line is pressure the QB with just the front 4 sometimes 3. Put everyone else back and it takes NE out of their comfort level. Detroit should be a very competative team this year. I am impressed with what they have done with the overall roster and playmakers they have on both sides of the ball. I would like to see what Detroit will do against a team that has a decent run game. If they let those front four go after the passer, they are going to be very successful, but would like to see them play the run.

Serioulsy...the Lions are the Lions....I hear this hype from their fans every day and in the end they dont do squat year after year. Their organization is too cheap and shortsighted to produce a champion.

They all said the same for New Orleans and TB also

I´m watching it right now and I´m really liking what the Lions do with their Kickoffs. High hangtime, driving it to the 1-3 yard line, forcing a return with the coverage guys already at the ten when the ball comes down. Sweet.

An old Redskin corner, Martin Mayhew is the GM there now and he's built a good team, mainly through the draft. If Stafford can stay healthy and their secondary holds up they can be a wild card team.

Speaking of old Redskins, Mark Murphy has done a respectable job in Green Bay as President/CEO.

I always root for the underdog. Pats have had more then their fair share of the spotlight. Time to back the f out.

Yeah it's more than a two team league. It gets kinda boring seeing the same teams in the SB every year and fans start getting obnoxious when their teams always win.....unless it's the Redskins of course.

One thing I noticed about the Lions in my brief glimpse near the game's end was how even their third-stringers were making technically sound tackles. The seem to be a well-coached bunch.

Lions are legit...Chiefs are legit, Bucs are legit....are the Redskins legit? I think so.

I agree with you on all counts, but still not sold on the Chiefs.

The Chief looked like crap against the same Ravens we played well against.

Eh. Preseason. NE looked like crap last night. I don't think anyone is worried about them.

That said, I think losing Charlie Weis to the Gators hurts the Chief's offense. He had great rapport with Matt Cassell.

Chiefs have a hungry young talent. As long Cassell has Charles and Bowe he will be fine.
