Next opponent Lions- Hawks VS lions on Paper

[Chukarhawk]

l


I had this game slotted as a win but on paper this looks like a tough out. Believe it or not, our numbers are up from last week where we were at the bottom in like 3 categories. Improvement!! Rushing and D need to make big strides for us to win. Lions D will again stack the box and make Geno beat them. We cant stop the run, so this looks like another L. Who will have more TD's? Goff or Geno?

If our defense takes a dump on the field like they did yesterday, the Lions will destroy us.

Hawks are in deep doo.
Which is fine for those of us that view this season which is a throw away year, but valuable in getting the young guys game experience.

Take the lumps and L’s this year and hit the ground running next year with your young stud QB

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That Lion's team has a lot of heart and plays hard for that coaching stuff. Should be a tough battle. Toss up game.

 

[sutz]

Well, I'll start by saying that rankings don't mean a lot this time of year.

However, our performance in the first 3 games doesn't lead to a lot of confidence that we can win. Let's hope "any given sunday" is this weekend.

never thought i'd see the day...

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. Detroit is a tough team.

 

[jammerhawk]

The Hawks are going to get their butts kicked if the D plays as poorly it did yesterday..

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely. Taking their lumps all year, but also getting valuable experience for these young guys. Kind of what we expected, though it's pretty tough to watch at times.

 

[Throwdown]

They’re gonna bully us worse than the falcons did

 

[sutz]

Mah, sometimes going on the road is good for the team.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

After all the upsets we saw yesterday, nothing would surprise me.

 

[AROS]

My preliminary fearless prediction is another loss ahead. Lions are better than us right now and they play like it.

 

[hox]

On paper, that looks like an upcoming L. Lions currently favored by 6.5.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

All the better when the Hawks pull of the W. (and no I'm not exactly that confident it will actually happen)

 

[Mizak]

Lions choked the game away vs Vikings when they had a 10 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. They almost choked against the Commanders. Both teams have one thing in common. They can’t finish games when it matters.

EDIT: Lions D is just as bad as the Seahawks D. Seahawks have a chance. But don’t know if Seahawks D have enough juice to stop Lions running game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Still gotta' lace em up. I doubt many Jags fans thought they would smoke a very good Chargers team. Even with their QB playing injured.

 

[SeaWolv]

What you're not seeing with these stats is how mediocre the Lions defense is.

You guys know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
