RedRamage Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Starting this thread for @Biff Mayhem cause I know he love the Lions. Honestly, I don't see the Lions winning this. The defense went from bad last week to worse this week from injuries. Rodgers is gonna be pissed from last week. The Packers will put up some huge number of the Lions defense. The only saving grace is that the Packers defense is helmed by none of then Joe Barry... son-in-law of Rod Marinelli. We all remember how bad his defenses were when he was DC for the Lions. So hopefully the Lions can put up some decent numbers too. Again, I don't see any way the Lions win, but I'm hoping they don't make it embarrassing like... 48-9 or something. Quote

MotownWebGuy Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Yeah, not thinking this game will turn out good for the Lions... With the Packers getting blown out last weekend, they will have a lot to prove this week at home (at the Lions expense). As a lifetime Lions fan and Packers shareholder, I make out fine either way! 37-10 I'm predicting... Quote

Sports_Freak Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 I watched the Rams yesterday. Matthew had a 4th quarter come from behind win. It seemed familiar. Quote

RedRamage Posted September 20, 2021 Author Posted September 20, 2021 Ehhh.... can't say as I'm a fan of that look. Maybe it'll look better in the game but I dunno. Quote
MotownWebGuy Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Predictions for the game tonight? I'll say... Packers 37 - Lions 17. 1 Quote
CMRivdogs Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 I was thinking 38-13 Green Bay. Rogers comes out with a chip on his shoulder after losing out on the Jeopardy gig (again). The Lions get no breaks in Wisconsin Quote

I just read that this will be the first time in over 70 years that the Lions have worn white pants, and the first time wearing a white facemask. https://news.sportslogos.net/2021/09/20/detroit-lions-to-wear-white-pants-facemasks-against-green-bay-packers-on-monday-night-football/football/ Quote

Expand Sounds about right. I can see the Lions trying to control the clock to keep Rodgers off the field. It doesn't work and it's basically over by halftime. Packers 31 Lions 14 Quote

Yes, we have their 1st round picks the next 2 years but does it really matter? 10 very good receivers on the board and we're in need of receivers? Yes, by all means, pick an offensive lineman. How depressing it would be getting drafted by such a dysfunctional franchise. Quote

Three of the top receivers were already drafted before the Lions drafted so they would have been drafting the 4th best receiver or what a lot of people consider to be the 2nd best player in the draft.

Sports_Freak Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 The Lions are in tank mode and make it on MNF. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Golladay seems to be an issue in New York. Lack of production and now yelling at the offensive coordinator apparently. Glad the Lions avoided that mess. Quote
