Hopefully, this game will get us over the hump.

Walker is out already.

Walker is out already.

Maybe hiring MP's personal trainer as strength and conditioning coach was a bad idea.

Compared to the amateurs this team had for the better part of 2 decades, these guys are Gods.

I'd expect today's game to be the game of TE's.

Waller versus Hockenson.

and the crappy play of each teams secondary.

Lots of points scored today by both teams.

Mike Daniels, Graham Glasgow downgraded to OUT vs. Raiders

It’s not uncommon for teams to downgrade a player from questionable or doubtful to out the day before an away game. Typically, that simply means the player did not travel with the team, so there is no question that they won’t play this week.

For Daniels, he has been dealing with a foot injury since early in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He has just recently returned to practice, but has been limited in his participation since last week.

As for Glasgow, he was a full participant in practice on Friday, but reporter Kyle Meinke noted how stiff and uncomfortable he looked after practice in the locker room. Glasgow missed the final quarter of last week’s game after experience a sore back. He will likely be replaced by veteran Kenny Wiggins, who was rotating in anyways.

Report: Christian Jones signed to 2-year extension by Lions


@broncosmitty will be thoroughly excited to wake up to this news. Hopefully he can recover by 2022.

5 things to watch: Lions at Raiders

It’s referred to as the money down, and this game will feature two quarterbacks in Matthew Stafford and Derek Carr who are among the best in the league on third down this season.

Carr is completing 70 percent of his passes on third down with seven touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 139.6, which leads the NFL. Oakland is third in the NFL in third-down efficiency at nearly 50 percent.

“We dove into (third down) pretty extensively here in the past couple of days,” Lions head coach Matt Patricia said this week. “They’re doing an excellent job of doing their scouting reports and attacking what the defense has been giving them. I think there are some guys out there that are making some big plays for them, too. They just have utilized every single weapon they have in those situations to attack the coverage that they’re seeing and have been really, really efficient. It’s very impressive.”

Stafford has been good on third down too. His passer rating of 118.2 is the third highest in the league. He’s got six touchdowns and no interceptions throwing on third down and is completing 64 percent of his passes.

Whatever defense is better limiting the opposing passer and getting off the field on third down will go a long way into deciding this one.

Five things to watch: Lions at Raiders

Getting home
The Raiders’ offensive line is massive and good. Oakland averages 336.0 pounds across the line and has not allowed a sack in three straight games, and four total games this season. Trey Flowers, Romeo Okwara and Devon Kennard have to make Derek Carr feel them.

It's Old Lion that's hacking into my account. He was feeling lonely as the only homer here and needed company, I guess.

Old Lion is in paradise. This team is a collection of new Lions and Patriot cast offs. He gets the best of both worlds.

Last year Packers were 2-2-1 after 5 games and 3-3-1 after 7 games and went 6-9-1 for the season... Lions are in pace with the same track record... wins against the Redskins, Buccaneers and Broncos to own 4th place in the division sounds about right.

Next week should be a battle for which HC gets fired.

Meh. Bears seam to be reeling. If we win this week and next week we are like 3 games ahead of them so I dont see 4th as a sure thing.

I kept waiting for the positive talk about us reaching the Super Bowl in this post but it was nowhere to be found.

Keep dreaming.

Keep dreaming.

I'd be okay with Nagy getting canned first.


They're about equally shitty imo.
