Like most have already said, Calvin Johnson is Calvin Johnson, and he will get his, regardless of who or how many are covering him. QB pressure is the best way to stop Detroit.

However, history would tell us that the best way to guarantee Johnson has a big game is for an opposing player to say something about him before the game. In Detroit we call that the 'Dez Bryant effect'. :)

Ball control. QB pressure. People are giving us no chance in this game and think Stafford is more mobile than Cam now.

Honestly, I expect a pretty decent game. Local papers here in Michigan favor you guys, and rightfully so. It was fun watching them beat the Giants, but it was the Giants. This game will actually be a test for Detroit.

Stafford is certainly more mobile than he was last year, but anyone who claims he is more mobile than Cam Newton is high.

I will say this again, we will get in matts face the entire game but my worry is Matt is looking elusive as hell in the pocket and don't let people fool you he is an athlete. We gotta be balls to the wall or they will eat us alive.

One thing I will say for Detroit, last year they picked a game plan and ran it without flinching, whether it was working or not. Drove me batty. Now, it's only been one game, but Lombardi seems to understand that on the fly adjustments must be made to adapt to game conditions. This is one of the reason most Lions fans are over-confident right now. My worry is that even with a coach who can recognize ineffective plays and alter a game plan, Stafford will resort to the mind set of 'crap, crap, crap. heave it to Johnson'. That might work some of the time, but can't always count on it. If you guys can get in his head early, and force him back to 2013 Stafford, it will be a long day for the Lions.

We all know how good megatron is and we all know he will have somewhat of a factor in the passing game but what I'm worried about is the talent around him. Golden Tate was Seattles top WR last year and almost had 100 yards his first game. He is a good WR and if everyone is focused on Megatron he will burn you. They have a trio of TEs, this will be a big problem for us in the red zone and not to mention they are athletic. They arguably have the best trio of running backs in the NFL. Bush can make big plays with his speed and can catch, Bell can run over you and Theo Riddick can be a threat as well. Their offensive line is at least above average so it looks like our front seven will have a tough battle to win.

If we can beat the lions I see us going 5-0 or at least 4-1.

      Just a winner? He went 6-9 last year. Just because a guy got carried to the SB by elite surrounding talent doesn't mean much. How did Nick Files pan out after catching lightning on a bottle?

      Hurts is an elite threat with his legs though. He's gonna stress an opposing DC a lot more than Brock Purdy.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.
