We'll see. I'm more concerned about the d-line.

You can add Freeney to it now.

I missed that. The worst thing about this defense is no pressure from the front four.

Yup, I knew it was coming when Thorton was released and then Freeney was released for no reason. Thats what I was getting at in the Suh thread but noone picked up on it there.

No Freeny today. Looks like the corners and safety's will have to bring their A game to help shore up the D-line and create a little pressure on the 'queens. With no run game to speak of, Matthew will need to spread the ball around to spread the opposition around. With the opponents favored, let's see if Ford Field comes alive to add in that twelfth player and tip the balance in Detroit's favor.

The challenge is that Keenum doesn't take sacks and we don't generate them. Don't fight that too much. Drop 7/8 guys and jump routes. Spread the coverage, confuse keenum. Make Keenum be Keenum by jumping routes and taking some calculated risks.

Last few weeks he has thrown some hot garbage up for grabs and it has worked. Hopefully we make a play on that junk today.

Also if Cooper Kupp doesn't fumble on the goal line last week is probably a different game all together. It isn't like the Vikings are some unstoppable force. Don't forget they have been "lucky" and beaten some nobodys en route so far this year.

Happy Thanksgiving! Let us, this fine day, celebrate the fact our team hasn't left for LA like every other NFL franchise.

Well this game will tell the story. D has to be a lot better than it's been the past couple of weeks.

 

[Wazmankg]

LB on Thielen wtf ?

 

[Wazmankg]

Nobody within 5 yards of Keenum there. Got to do better than that.

Th front 4 will need to create its own pressure or I need to see some blitzes. Case has all day.
