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.

Buuuuuuuuttttt....Mike Daniels was spotted in crutches, so that’s a big hit right there. Slay’s status is up in the air too it seems. They still have Flowers and Harrison who are beasts, and Patrica is hit or miss but their D has been pretty tough overall. Gave up 34 combined to P Riv and Wentz. Not bad, not bad. Mayyyy be tough sledding running the ball. Lions run D is definitely better than the ****ing Raiders and they obliterated our run game. Hopefully our line isn’t poopy like it was in that game. But, yeah. We should absolutely win this game. Just hope people aren’t bugging out if the Lions keep it close. |

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. |

Their defense, IMO, is good and hopefully will be a good test to see how our new toys fare against a Patriots-style defense, as well as how much Pat has learned about how to decipher it, but they won't be able to stop our offense from scoring 34 points. I think they'll put a damper on our run game to a degree, but they don't have anyone that can do much about DR, Hardman, and Sammy. Much less do anything about Kelce.
And the Lions offense will be a bigger test for our defense than anything we've faced this season. Mostly because of Stafford. Stafford is a solid QB with a live arm and some ability to scramble left in him. And he's a traditional QB; he's going to set up his line according to what he sees pre-snap, go through his reads and throw the ball to open receivers, mostly on target. He's not going to give us the game through inexperience or lack of intelligence. He might throw an errant pass; it's just in his nature sometimes. Their RBs and WRs don't look that scary, but their TE group are all decent receivers. Should be a good test of our LBs/safeties coverage and tackling skills. They should be busy. At the end though, the Lions don't score a lot, just 21 points a game. They'd have to play at a higher level offensively to have a chance of beating the Chiefs. At least two scores better.

Lions are good, about half the team the Chiefs are. Chiefs by 3 td's.

Stafford is in sharp decline.
He has only FOUR 300-yard games in his last 19 games. This is going to be a blood bath. That offense CANNOT keep up with us. The only thing that worries me is Kenny Golladay catching eleventy jump balls against our midget corners. |
