Detroit prediction thread.....what you say?

[iamhubby1]

Lions have no running game.

Rush four all day Sunday. Rotate DLine and keep him fresh. No problem.

Um...you could not be more wrong. Glad you aren't our advanced scout. Both Bell and Bush do a great job for them.

 

 

Lions O-line is actually good. We might have problems getting to Stafford consistently with 4 and might have to blitz. Key is containing Megatron.

 

As for our offense, Lions have speed rushers and that's where Bell struggles. RT will be tested too. Hope Cam is ready to use his legs.

Well said. But...I wouldn't blitz too much. If you don't get there, you can get in trouble quickly. They trust their O-line enough to not max protect too often. You have to get there with 4. While stopping the run too.

 

 

The Lion's defense looks gassed. Keeping them on the field for a longer time with the run will kill them. They look as gassed as Greg Hardy did on TB's second TD drive yesterday.

The good thing for us is, they really don't have much depth. Get them tired and it can work for us.

 

 

I am not sure we beat this DET team. 

 

They have a really good DL. 

 

Nice big receivers. 

 

A Payton disciple calling plays. 

 

Gonna need a hell of a game to pull this out. No mistakes and gonna need to stay aggressive the whole night.

This is true. They are going to be a good test.

Although Calvin is the only real WR with any size. Tate and Broyles are both average. All the TEs are big too.

They are playing well, and disciplined. Not sure if it is a mirage, or if Cladwell has tapped into the talent they do have.

Pressure Matt with 4, and we run the ball well. That could get it done for us.

What most people are missing is that this team is a good match up for us. Weak run D and secondary and a offense that does not run the ball. Not only do we have a offence that wears on opposing defences but we also have a defence that can zone blitz or just make pass rush out of there front 4. The only way to stop us is play action off the run. That's about it.

[Toundra]

The Panthers will avange Patrick Jeffers.

 

Panthers 20 Lions 9

Giants are a shell of what they used to be.We would probably smack them around again.Also the Panthers are very physical unlike the Giants...Lions will be hurting very soon.

[Ikererk]

I just saw the Giants game and I'm a bit worried.

I don't remember Stafford being so elusive in the pocket, he has put some work on it this offseason, but I'm not worried about this.

This offense works thanks to Megatron. Versus Giants defense Tate put 93 yards (44 of them came with a really bad coverage, so 49yds), 49 more with Bush and 26 with Fauria. Versus Panthers defense this is nothing. Rushing Bell put 51 yards and Bush just 15. So we "only" need a good coverage on Megatron and it will be a close game.

 

But honestlly I'm worried about Lions defense, the pressure on the QB was a constant on the game and although Cam is way faster and tougher than Eli, our OL is probably worse. And I also enjoyed how the secundary played, I didn't watch too much last year but they made a good job in the coverage. Yeah, is the Giants and Eli, but...

 

 

So here is my prediction, Lions 17-19 Panthers. Our offense works slow, but some flags on Lions defense determine the game. We struggle in the redzone but Gano and defense get work done.

[Ikererk]

Oh, sorry for double-posting but forgot about this.

Lions run a lot of times 3-TE offense, but I think this is not a problem for us with that LB unity we have.

Davis and Kuechly looked really good in coverage in Tampa, didn't they? Probably I'm thinking probably Luke worked on it this offseason, as he did with rushing abilities. Great student of the game.

[MadHatter]

Detroit offense has some weapons. However, they are still a very undisciplined and dumb team...look at those penalty yards they had . Hard to gauge Detroit from last night because the Hisnts are God awful. Defense is pathetic and they are trying to change offenses...to one that Eli and other personnel are not suited for.

Still think we win

[JJman]

Stafford can lay an egg worse then Delhomme could. Pressure him and we should be alright. Calvin Johnson will tear us apart regardless so not much can be done with him.

[jarhead]

Even with our defense I am concerned that our offense will sputter

[AceBoogie]

Have to Make Stafford throw us the football. He's known to have multiple interception games.

[rmoneyg35]

Detroit will be tough to beat. In my opinion they have the best offense and a pretty good defense. They have the best WR and DT in the game. A top QB and a great trio of running backs. They have a decent defensive line and linebackers, have great depth at TE and have a good #2 WR. Ross is a great return man as well.

I would say their weakness is their secondary. I see KB having over 100 yards.

I am just now watching the Monday night game against the giants and it looks like we will have problems stoping them even with our defensive line. We will need to score at least 21 points to win.

I know it was about three years ago but our defense did a good job containing Megatron compared to other defenses.

 

Even though Stafford had a field day against us with 335 yards 5 tds and 2 int, Megatron only had 5 rec for 89 yards

 

and no tds and that was with Gamble, Munnerlyn, Godfrey and Sherrod Martin as our secondary. We also didn't 

 

have Luke, Davis, Star or KK helping out that season. The 2011 season was also the best our offense has been for 

 

awhile but I believe we are even better this year.

30-0 Panthers cause it's my birthday and I'll be turning 30
