Sorry I was tied up this week and forgot about this.

I think it depends if Amani plays. If he plays I think we can win but if not I dont think we stop their offense. I dont like our odds on the road in a shootout.

1st road game for the 2022 Lions and as much as I'd like to see our offense continue their pace of scoring, I'd much rather see our defense step up and hold an opponent under 25 points and the D-Line be stout against the run.

We could see some 1st road game jitters by Goff and our offense + the crowd noise could factor in as well.

I like the lions but you are facing cousins under normal circumstances. If this was Sunday night or a Monday or Thursday game I would give the lions an easy victory, but it's not so we win.

Weakest DBs in nfl against Justin Jefferson.

Cousins is not known for scrambling. So at least we don't have to watch Hutchinson chase gim out of the pocket only for there to be all that open field

Vikes and their fans won’t hold up if Cousins gets pressured/sacked. They want a repeat of their season opener, but if they find a fight the crowd will quiet down quickly. It’ll be close, but we hung far closer to Philly than they did. They have doubts, Detroit has hope.

Lions have an extremely young and inexperienced defense at all three levels. That's more than a little bit scary not to mention two players at OG getting their first road game starts - Skipper and Stenberg.

Taylor Decker has struggled in the past versus D. Hunter, but the Vikings are without Harrison Smith and possibly LB Kendricks.

I'm still going all in on Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid

First quarter looking good on offense. Making the conversions on fourth downs. Very encouraging.

Not going to disagree about our DBs being the weakest in the NFL.

But imo the secondary is the strongest unit on the defense. But only because the line and backers are so bad.

As bad as the talent is on defense for Detroit, Minnesota may be worse.

These losers are making Goff look like Joe Montana.
