MNF: Detroit Lions at Seattle Seahawks - preview and prediction

[JJC]

Not sure which epidemic is worse for teams on a week to week basis: knee injuries or concussions.

 

[BradyFTW!]

He w


Maybe but i still think he's good enough. He plays for a crappy team.

Absolutely, he's still at worst a top 7 or so receiver in the NFL. But his days of being the #1 guy are done, I think just about anyone would take Julio over him right now. Same type of receiver, but Julio's just better.

Seattle's paying Wilson 18 million per to play Running Back right?

 

[TBR]

Wow. Wilson covers up a lot of flaws with that o-line (not 100% of the time, but still)

They're paying him to be the the entire offense, it seems.

 

[Foxypats]

Johnson should have had that

sea D is great...makes what the Pats did in the SB so satisfying

 

[BradyFTW!]

They were saying the same thing about Moss in Oakland.

came here and look what happened.

Moss did lose a step in Oakland. He was still the best WR in the NFL in New England, but go look at his highlights in Minnesota sometime. He was even more athletic there.

In a couple of weeks they'll officially reclaim their title as best defense in the league.

 

[Foxypats]

What are the Lions doing ? Have to take advantage of TO's in Seattle.

Yeah, I remember Denny Green in a postgame interview saying something to the effect that Moss was running something like a 4.15 IIRC...

lions offense is nothing creative either. doing same crap everytime.not sure if they came with a specific gameplan

 

[rexxar]

If the Lions lose then it's only the fault of their injuries... Right, Seahawks fans?

 

[Concussion Protocol]

poor contain by the lions. so many broken plays by wilson

As frustrating as it was to see the Pats' mush rush give him all day in the pocket, this was the alternative. BB knew what he was doing.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

seahags offense's poor. Idk why they don't run a hurry up offense.

 

[Zeus]

Doesn't look like Detroit coaches looked at Super Bowl film. On D, they're selling out on the pass rush and losing containment on Wilson, which is death. On O, they're forcing the ball down the field to big receivers who are easily covered by Seattle's big DBs.

After the Super Bowl last year, I told friends that against Seattle, I'd rather have Julian Edelman than Calvin Johnson. In fact, Seattle could not handle the quickness Edelman, Amendola and Vereen. (Plus Gronk who is an unfair matchup for either LBs or DBs). You have to tilt the matchups in your favor to beat a team as good as Seattle. The Lions don't seem to have much interest in doing any of this.

 

[SVN]

lions have a terrible offensive system.not sure wtf they are doing.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Caldwell has the same befuddled look on his face.
