I really love the fact both phases of defense are working. Many times you see a good rush defense or pass defense rarely both.

I think Calvin will play, not because he's ready, though. I would bet that there are a lot of people pushing Caldwell to play him because the game is in London, and Megatron is one of the biggest stars in the NFL. I'm sure God-dell would've frowned if Megatron didn't make the plane.

Hopefully Fuhrer Goodell is on his way out with the Ray Rice scandal.

Yeah my buddy was saying the same thing, there will be a lot of pressure from goodel for CJ to play.

Well he does has to testify, that means show up and sit in a chair......He could very easily just say he "doesn't recall" or "don't remember" He testified but you never got a answer.....The owners still have his back because he makes them money.

Now if multiple people sat in a room with him and they all watched the video together and they turn on Godell saying he was there and watched it, then you will see a change.

Is ATLs run defense bad enough for the Lions rushing offense to look decent?

Will the field being in meters affect Praters accuracy?

Hey, Good point. Maybe Stafford wont be overthrowing everyone this week.

He'll still be able to clank it off the upright from 15-20 meters.

Whichever teams doesn't get their QB killed is the team who wins this one. Both OL's have struggled for Detroit and Atlanta. With the pressure the Lions get on opposing QB's -- I think it gives the Lions a huge advantage.

I think the Lions will flex their muscles with their front 4 and win a close game 27-21. I have a feeling Julio Jones is going to have a big game for Atlanta, but Detroit will overcome by getting to Matt Ryan.

Both QB's are going to get beat up. I am worried about Devin Hester. Hopefully we dont kick anything returnable.

I think they measure that stuff in liters.

I know they do with Pepsi.

Never been a fan of snorting liquids.

I'm hoping the Lions do a little more of the beating up. I thought I heard somewhere the Falcons are missing 3 offensive linemen and they are starting an undrafted rookie at Center. Talk about a nightmare match up for him. He will have Suh and Fairley lined up in front of him. No an easy task for your 1st start.

No worries with kickoffs, martin is a beast. Maybe he should be practicing fgs, we might need him this year.

 

[Old Lion]

Antone Smith out of the backfield could cause some problems. I doubt the Falcons are smart enough to use him. They have not been so far and they continue to lose. At some point they will say fuck it and roll him and the rookie out there instead of old man Jackson and Quiz the fizz. Hopefully, they wait until after their bye week to do that.

Would be nice if our resident homer would do a Miami version.
