On this Labor day and the premier of "Houdini"on History channel tonight. let's see what kind of magicians and soothsayers we have here in the Huddle. Most on here know this team very well...it's strengths and its weakness on both sides of the ball. Playing a retooled Bucs away won't be easy. What will the final score be...and give a comment on how YOU think the offense and defense will do. This team has not won an opening season game in many moons.....can they do it in 2014?

We will win because we have a better coach and better players at every position except Safety and one of the Guards (probably, not going to anoint Turner or Amini over old man Mankins yet).  I think the offense will start off slow, one TD in the first half due to a short field and we'll all have our panties in a twist and then they'll open it up and play well in the second half.  The defense will dominate from the kickoff allowing one field goal in the first half and a garbage time TD.  Final score: 24-10.

 

edit to add score.

I see a loss due to an offense that isn't clicking right away, injuries, dwill taking his usual 3-4 games to get started, stew getting injured, and history. I see the defense still doing well and not allowing more than 21 points of not less so I don't think it will be a blowout. At the end of the day I feel special teams and a bad online is going to be the blame for the loss.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
