MichiganCardinal Posted yesterday at 01:56 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:56 AM By this time in the season, the very good teams are starting to look very good. The very bad teams are starting to look very bad. Each of these teams fits into one of those categories. Looking around the league, there aren't a lot of good games on paper this week. Vikings-Rams might be close if the Vikings have a post-Lions let down. Cowboys-Niners might be interesting. Eagles-Bengals maybe. Bears-Commies maybe.

Jimbo Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago This is a good in between game for the Lions. They definitely shouldn't sleep on the Titans although if Monty or other important players have injury concerns, get them rest. After this we have two brutal away games. After the bye I would of been happy if they went 3-2. Now if we can win either at GB or Houston and its a very successful 5 games. GB game obviously more important because of it being a divisional game. Or why not just win both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to see if that story line about the Lions physically beating up teams holds true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some are worried about this being a trap game but I don't think the coaches, or players, will allow that to get the best of them. It might be a little close for a time because it's the NFL and every team plays tough (outside of Carolina) but this should be a fairly comfortable 2+ score victory.

I don’t think Tennessee is good enough for this to be a trap game, even if the Lions did overlook them. There’s just no one of note on offense for them. They’ll try to run with Pollard but when that doesn’t work, because it never works against the Lions, they’ll be forced to throw with either Levis or Rudolph, and that’s a recipe for disaster (for them). Trap games come against 6-11 or 7-10 teams. Good enough to win most games, bad enough for it to not matter. Tennessee is closer to a 3-14 team. Just bad.

RandyMarsh Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I believe more in trap games in college football, I think in the NFL with professionals and knowing that every other team is compiled of said professionals teams generally don't overlook lesser teams especially when you are well coached like the Lions. That's not to say they won't lose cause you know "any given Sunday" but if they do I'm almost positive it won't be because it was a "trap game" or they were looking towards GB.

Hongbit Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Interesting. The NFL just flexed Jaguars at Eagles out of SNF in 2 weeks and replaced it with Vikings at Colts instead of Lions at Packers. Odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I really can't think of any past games against the Titans other than the one like 10 years ago where the Lions were down 2 TDs with like a minute left and came back to either tie it and send it to overtime or lose on the final possession(can't remember just know that we obviously lost).

Motown Bombers Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Have the Lions lost a trap game under Campbell? Closest I can think of is 2022 on the road in Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think cause the Lions/Pack were already Fox's "game of the week" with Brady calling it. That game actually outdraws the prime time games sometimes.

MichiganCardinal Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago Lions are also already on SNF in week ten against the Texans. That would be back to back weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Somehow Goff isn’t in the top 5 and Branch is an all pro. Can you believe the Packers helped the Lions draft Branch when they needed a safety? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you believe the Packers helped the Lions draft Branch when they needed a safety? Goff will always be underrated by PFF grades and some advanced stats cause they don't account for actually making pre snap reads and audibles, reading defenses, going through progressions and throwing to the right receiver. They give so much more praise to the "wow throws" or plays where guys make something out of nothing instead of plays that Goff excels at. They just see him complete a pass to an open receiver and think nothing of it instead of actually crediting him with not only finding that open receiver, completing the pass and often times throwing that pass with anticipation on time. Also people don't put enough emphasis on completing the passes that you should. They have the mindset of "all QBs can make throws if guys are open and they have time" and yes NFL QBs can do that but they don't hit it at nearly the rate Goff has. They might complete the pass 70% of the time which is excellent but Goff has been far above that. It would be like an NBA player hitting 60+% of his open threes and not giving him credit cause "all NBA players can make open shots".

Campbell probably won't allow them to look past the Titans. Hopefully, we'll get to see Hooker finishing a blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
