You know what’s crazy is we don’t have a road win coming off a bye in 22yrs

No disrespect to Haener, but with the lack of experience, i don't expect much from the passing game. 2 Kamara TDs and 2 FG is all i can see, max. I'll be shocked if we get less than 35 points

I’ll always say Redskins, I grew up with that and it’s the way I’m gonna roll …

Please stack the box and focus on stopping the run, with Lattimore this is more of an option. Make this QB have to make plays and let's see if he can keep up with Jayden Daniels.

Yup. And don’t allow these receivers to get off the line uncontested. This QB will be looking to get rid of the ball quickly. We have seen too many times in the past where we give the receivers a cushion, the catch a 5 yard pass, break a tackle and the next thing you know, it’s a 25 yard reception. Shut this young, inexperienced ,qb down early.

If your prediction on Haener comes to fruition, then Kamara should not have over 50 yards and a score since we know 41 is getting the Lions share of work.

2 things to worry about here , one will we come out flat ? 2 can we execute on offense and defense?

We should win this game if we are a playoff team. The only thing that stops us is if the team reads its press clippings and lays an egg like they did vs Dallas

I guess this means Kicker Gonzalez and Mathis are out for Sunday. Or maybe Payne is going to be out. hogshaven said there could be two active kickers. interesting.
