He looks a little leaner. He's always going to be a bruiser, but you need a guy like that.
I liked him last year and am glad he's getting some PT. I could see a 'thunder and lightning' thing with he and Thompson in the future. McCoy has definitely got a little left in the tank, and sharing time may very well extend his career further. |

The Lions are your typical NE disciple team, they're all about being big and physical and playing the run. Running up the middle will probably be a horrid idea against them but at the same token, they're big and slow.

Darius Slay and Mike Daniels both could be questionable for the game.

I think Matt Stafford's career is a travesty.
I think he's the best QB on the most pathetic team over the span of his career in the NFL. He's just gotten hammered, and yet instead of getting gun-shy and folding like a David Carr, he still just hangs in there. I think he's tough as hell and still has one of the best arms in the league. Mentally tough, too. But, as it's been said, not the most mobile guy. He's an old-school pocket QB. Hockenson is a rising star TE. I honestly don't know much about their WR's this year. All I know is that I would've heavily invested in the offensive line years ago and the Lions haven't. Shit, i just looked up their drafts and they haven't drafted a single offensive lineman in like four years. ****ing ridiculous. If were Stafford, I'd be forcing my way out of there. |

Decker and Ragnow were both 1st round picks. Dahl was a 5th and Glasgow was a 2nd. Last edited by staylor26; 09-23-2019 at 08:41 AM.. |

I think Patricia will have a good defensive game plan - but we've got too many weapons to be held in check for long. Regardless this game can only benefit Mahomes as he goes against a New England style defense. The more these coordinators throw at him - the more dangerous he becomes.

Kerryon Johnson and TJ Hockenson were nice adds on offense, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve taken off. They scored 27 points but 7 of those were a return on ST’s.
Their pass rush isn’t that great either. Eagles had guys wide open a lot of the time last week. This seems like a game that is close for awhile in the first half and then we pull away. 38-24 type game |

They are much better than last year on defense. We have much more offensive power.

Thank God CBS is picking up the bears/vikes this week. Fox gets the single and they would've showed that here. Not a given that we will see the Chiefs, but I think we will.

Andy needs to keep his foot on the gas. I don't like this "run the clock down" strategy for an entire second half 2 weeks in a row.

Stafford is one of those guys who puts up numbers that don't translate to wins. Detroit is better this year because their defense is better. So if they want to beat us, they'll need to do it on defense. Don't see that happening.
On a side note, apparently this is mahomes' first game played in a dome. So that should be interesting. |
