Game Thread: Week 8: Lions @ Texans

[broncosmitty]

Brady will win 2 SBs in a row before retiring so we are not out of the woods. Not sure the Hoodie will want the sidewinder though.

With what we've seen the last 16 games, he could be a target.

But it isn't NE's style really.

Revis and Moss though, maybe.

 

[Rollingthndr]

Why? He does not even have to win and he gets 20 mill a year.

As much as I like to bash Stafford.

The only reason this team even has 4 wins is because of him.

Defense is ass.
I don't even blame Austin.

There is virtually 0 talent.
Levy is robbing us blind.
Ngata is way past his prime,
Ansah has been a complete no-show this year.
Linebackers.... What linebackers?

Quin and Slay have been the only solid players on D this year.

Agree with Slay and somewhat Quin. Quin is minimized in zone defense because there is no need to throw deep.

Agree on LBs of course.

Actually our defensive ends have been pretty good. Hyder and Bryant have done well when they are actually allowed to play. Unfortunately, our starters have not been great. Ziggy just cant play well at less than 100%. Taylor is what he is. Makes plays at times but disappears other times.

Slay injured.

We just traded a 7th rounder for one of the biggest CB busts from the Buccs.

Armonty Bryant just got suspended for 3 games.

Tate and Jones are playing like shit

This looks like it's going to be a bad stretch

A future 7th for a player that might turn into something is not a bad trade in my mind. Banks is not so old that he can't turn it around.

While Tate and Jones are talented. They certainly aren't #1 material and it shows against better secondaries.

I can't believe I am saying this but our only true weapon is Ebron. He is a mismatch for virtually any linebacker.

I will give Riddick some props. He has run better this year than last.

The offense is missing Abdullah desperately.

I can't believe that the Lions need a #1 receiver yet again. But it's true.

Stafford is going to need to find a way.

We can't ignore that defense any longer.

 

[Rob]

I don't think they need a true #1 receiver. Save the money and get Stafford a running game and a defense that will give him the ball.

There has been a lot of improvement on the offensive line, it's time to improve the defensive line. Receiving options while given time to pass makes this a huge plus this year. It all starts with the lines.
