It was a very impressive win today for the Fins. The Fins pass rush has been good all year. The secondary has gotten better & better each week. They are both excellent units now. In addition, the Fins are able to stop the run. The Fins' offense is capable of scoring early and often.
Detroit will have their hands full this week. Detroit is similar to the Chargers in offensive production. They are another top 10 team at passing the ball that has struggled to get a running game going. Reggie Bush may be back to play against the Fins. WR Golden Tate is having a huge year so far & Calvin Johnson will be back to play against the Fins. The Lions are in the top 5 in both pass and run defense. That said, the Lions' DT Fairley is injured. He is one of the main reasons that their defense has been so good. They still have some other very good Dlinemen like D Suh though. It's a big test for the much improved Fins' Oline. The Lions are coming off a bye week & playing at home. This will be a tough, physical game but winnable for the Fins.
Just stopped by to day good luck this week, just not too much. I think this will be a great test for both teams to see where they stand. Both teams are riding high and only one can win. I like that it's in Detroit and that we've had a week to rest our starters.
Someone previously mentioned Stafford turning the ball over. That's the key IMO. If he isn't careless with the ball, I think our D can hold the a Dolphins O down for the most part.
Sunday's result was Miami's first shutout in 123 games and the largest since a 42-0 win over the Chiefs in 1987.
Thanks Microwavhero, It should be a good game. The Lions are deservedly well respected league wide. They are ranked in the top 5 as a team. The Fins, however, are being overlooked right now, even with their recent dominating win against a good team & a 3 game win streak. The Fins had some key players out earlier in the season. Now that Misi, R Jones, Pouncey, Shelby are back the Fins will be even tougher to deal with. This is a big test for the Fins' Oline. This will be an interesting game. Good luck to your team on weeks other than week 10 lol
