Expectations vs. Detroit?

if bush plays we are fucked.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

We simply need to "run" A LOT. This isn't a team we can afford to get in a shoot out with. They would come back and beat us. I hope we run, dink and dunk...so that we can convert 3rd downs and control time of possession. Our defense will be so focused on Megatron that Bush OR Bell will have a career day. We need to have a boring boxing match, and simply survive.

I expect that the last weeks lost got the attention of alot of the defensive personell....I am betting that the missed tackles we shown over and over and would play better!!!

All I know is keep Suh away from RG3. I expect him to draw at least one 15 yarder. Such a piece of shit dirty player. Not even one of those guys you hate but would love to have on your team (see: Cortland Finnegan, Richard Sherman), just a guy you flat out hate.

Suh reminds me of Fat Al in his prime. Just one mean SOB that can back it up. Just as soon stomp on your head as make a play. Of course, by the time we got Fat Al, he could neither back it up or stomp on anyone. He was too busy groping waitresses and sucker punching motorists.

Bush won't have 100. Will be lucky to even play

 

[RobBase]

RG3 won't run because Suh will kill him if he tries. Even if he runs for 20 yards, Suh will be there to power bomb him at the end of the run. If Fairely plays, RG3 might not even survive the whole game. Those guys aren't human. They're bigfoots.

Skins will need to play the Lions the same way every tries to play them and that's beating us with short, quick passes. AZ did a fantastic job of this. Then when we finally got them in 3rd and long and sacked Palmer, we draw a 15 yard penalty. So you have that going for you too. The Lions love beating themselves.

No Bush = Lions will be lucky to score 21 points, and that won't be enough to win on Sunday. I hate to say it but I could see Sparty coming in and beating us after drawing a couple PI penalties late in the game. Our secondary continues to be a huge liability.

 

[SkinFaninATL]

We can not afford to go 0-3 in the NFC conference.

No! We definitely cannot.
