MichiganCardinal Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Lions schedule has turned into something of a gauntlet in recent weeks, and I still don't like the bye week being so early, but it's nice to break it up a little. Going west to play the Cardinals, followed by a tough primetime game against the Seahawks, followed by a revenge game against an always good Cowboys team, followed by the first division matchup of the season on the road against the undefeated Vikings. I'll be happy if they go 1-1 in the next two, but ideally you're tied for the division lead and holding the tiebreaker at 5-1 in two weeks.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Can you please change your misleading thread title. We aren't just playing Dallas this week. It should read as follows . . .

RandyMarsh Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I hate rooting for a Cowboys win but part of me was happy they won last night. I worry that if they lost there was an outside chance Jerry finally realizes how horrible of a coach McCarthy is and finally fires him. In which case the Lions would have to prepare to play a team with a new coach which never is an easy thing imo. Not to mention a loss yesterday would have put them in a proverbial "must win" against us so the refs would've felt even more pressure to bail them out. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYLion Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Beginning of a brutal stretch. Road games at Dallas, Minnesota, Houston and Green Bay in 4 of the next 5. Win 2 of those and the Lions will be in good shape headed into the second half of the season. The entire rest of the schedule is very challenging but this stretch in particular could shape their season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't bet that often, but I've thought about taking that bet this week and putting $50 on Jamo getting the first TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxP Posted Thursday at 08:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:17 PM I'm prepared for a W. Also prepared for overs on: Lamb yardage, he will get his. Defensive PI calls on Det CB, we play physical and seem ok with that. References to Arnold as "handsy", the moniker was local then Aikman cemented it last game. Lions by 2 scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted Thursday at 09:23 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:23 PM I expect another Jared Goff masterclass. Lawrence and Parsons are both out, Zimmer is a creative blitzer but Goff should have all day in the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM If Goff starts 6/6 he’ll match the NFL record for consecutive completions. 7/7 will break it (obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted Friday at 11:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:11 PM I never bet more than $10 and I NEVER bet on The Lions and Michigan because I can't be analytic at all. But, I make an exception this week. I put $50 on the Lions. They are going to destroy Dallas on Sunday. This team has all of their parts and they are laser-focused on making sure that even WHEN (not if) the Refs pull some pro-Dallas bull****, the score will be so lopsided it won't make a difference. I have never been this certain about the Detroit Lions in my life. They.........want.......this..........bad We all do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
