Pre Game Thread - Lions @ Pats

[Dingleberry]

Do we honestly think they would play Hoyer base on what happened to Tua?? I don't think RK wants that type of publicity.

Not a chance. The league is going to do what it does best, over correct due to public sentiment. And RK is a league b1tch. I don't remotely dislike Kraft, but let's be honest. He is a league b1tch.

Hoyer will sit for a while just to make sure Mark Brunell doesn't go on ESPN crying, "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?"

We need Mac or a vet QB off the street can't expect to win with Zappe he's just not there yet. And this game is a must win so I'm a little bit concerned.

I'd love to see Fitzpatrick just so we can complete the AFC East cycle

What a relief it's going to be to not have to watch them in their ugly pajama uniforms.

 

[VrabelJr]

Don't know these guys, but I'm guessing their not the A, B, or C team:

I didn't know Vilma went into broadcasting. I liked him a lot as a player.

The Lions are scoring a LOT of points. Goff actually looks serviceable.

They scored 45 without their two best offensive players too.

Will likely be a street fight like our game yesterday, and the team that scores last, wins.

Just watched the condensed Seahawks Lions game, we should be able to easily run on them.

Hope so, Penny looked like he was gonna hit a home run every time he took the snap.

Think it's one for Harris with his ability to cut and go.

Ball control sounds like the way to go. I don’t think we are going to outgun anyone with zappe so hopefully control TOP and keep them off balance offensively . This is just so bizarre to me though that a team with jared goff as its qb let alone the lions are putting up these kinda points. Guess we’ll see Sunday

We can't even get clueless Dan Fouts?? How the mighty Pats have fallen.

I mean this in the most adult and dispassionate of ways: F Mark Brunnell.
In fact F Mark Brunell, the horse he rode in on, the mare that foaled it and the stallion that sired it.
(you can tell my feelings towards him are adult and dispassionate, I left his mother out of the equation)

Mondre and Dame both might get 100+ lol. Idk why people were so quick to dismiss Dame, he doesn't have as many moves as Mondre does, but he has one or two things he does real well and he's decisive and runs hard.

 

[maust]

I hope you are right. With Mac or Hoyer, I would be on board. Not there with Zappe yet.

I expect our run game will go through Detroit's D the way Sherman went through Georgia.
Shades of '78 to go with the uni's

Had to Google it but Kenny is the son of Marv Albert.

On paper a low key game. In reality it's huge to the Patriots. Could well define our season.

Hoping for wind and heavy rains.

I think Fat Albert is a distant cousin.

Lions rang up 35 points on a solid Eagles D. This won't be an easy game.

Pre-game thoughts:

1.) A MUST-WIN...even if it is an out of conference game. I am tired of "moral victories"....give me the goddamn Dub on Sunday, d%#*!@t!!!

2.) Offensively, I don't think we will have much trouble putting up 24+ even with Zappe behind center.

3.) Defensively, we have a problem.....gotta contain these guys somehow. They still scored 30+ with St. Brown, Chark, and Swift being out.

4.) I own Hockenson in 3/5 fantasy leagues.....F me.
