A bit of an obvious reach....but this is a must win game for their psyche after the Baltimore game....both for the offense and defense. Hopefully they come out and jump all over the Raiders. Get the bad taste out of their mouths.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

I think this is the bounce back game.

37-17 Lions.

Minnesota is going to be a problem. Specifically their defense.

In another thread I said hopelly we just keep winning games so those end of season games against Minnesota don't mean much for the division crown. But looking at their schedule the only tough teams the play are Cincinnati and New Orleans.

Overall it's probably best in the long run we get some pressure to keep winning.

 

[mhughes0021]

Nvm cousins just tore his achilies.

 

[mhughes0021]

I don't feel great going into this game.

Our defense blows.

our pass offense is going up against a very good pass defense without Jackson and potentially ragnow. St brown now sick.

 

[baitnbat]

I've watched the raiders a decent amount this year, their offense blows with McDaniels calling plays. Defense should be just fine

 

[LKP]

Annoyed with cousins injury. We were up 2 games and now everyone will just put an asterisk on a division title. Lions still have to go do it

Crush the raiders. Jameson and Gibbs, its your time

Awosika Glasgow Vaitai interior i dont hate it but itd annoying all 3 interior starters could be hurt

The Twins won the AL central which was the worst division in baseball. I didn't see an asterisk next to the division title.

The Twins won the AL central which was the worst division in baseball. I didn't see an asterisk next to the division title.

Lions could sweep the NFC North (1-0 won the toughest game), AFC West (1-0 beat the toughest team) and NFC South (3-0). So they are the best out of 3 divisions if they do that. 14 wins if that happens. Then there wouldn't be an asterisk

Amon Ra is sick and may not play.

 

[tomdalton22]

Amon Ra is sick and may not play.

that sucks...I need him for my fantasy team tonight.

Of course if he doesn't play it increases the chances that the Lions lose and that would be good for my survivor league (27 people picked the Lions this week)

I have a 40 point lead going into tonights game. I have amon ra. They have jacobi myers. I'm a little worried to be honest.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Go Honolulu Blue!

 

[mhughes0021]

This game will be a great way to prove the same ol lions stigma should die. Everything says we should crush this team.

Raiders offense is terrible. Ol lions would see garropollo light it up, a guy like hunter renfrow break out of slump and go for 120 yds and Jacobs run all over us.

New lions should win by 10.

 

[manchild98]

We really do love to run right up the middle on first down.

 

[gotime909]

Every first down run up the middle. Good lord Ben

 

[manchild98]

I like the blue helmet with the gray uniforms.
