GalagaGuy Posted December 10 Posted December 10 This game is gonna be a shootout. Lions won't be able to stop Stafford and Goff will want to ball out in front of his old fans. Winner is the first one to 40 points. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted December 11 Posted December 11 Not looking good for Kirby again this week. Why is Branch stll listed on injury report? Must be a procedural thing. Quote
IdahoBert Posted December 13 Posted December 13 I just checked YouTube TV, and our robot overlords are actually going to let me watch this Lions vs. Rams game in Idaho instead of making me watch the 49ers game. I’m going to party like it’s 1957! Quote
Motown Bombers Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Did anybody else know that Matthew Stafford was childhood friends with Clayton Kershaw? I wonder if they will mention this on the broadcast? Quote
Hongbit Posted December 14 Posted December 14 The Lions have a great chance to win this game. The biggest key to victory is to injure Stafford on the first series of the game. 1 Quote

Sports_Freak Posted December 14 Posted December 14 The Lions had a few extra days to prepare for this game. But the injuries in the secondary are a huge red flag, especially against Stafford and very good Ram receivers. Even when they're covered, they make great catches. Just too much to overcome. The Rams will cover, something like 27-17. And I hope I'm wrong... Quote
TP_Fan Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Browns are 3-10 and it’s 4th and inches on your own 40, already down 7-0 and you punt. This is why they lose all the time. Stefanski, all he does is lose and keep his job. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 14 Author Posted December 14 Browns are already in mid-offseason form. They ain't gonna help. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 14 Author Posted December 14 I know I'm the resident optimist lately but I don't like the Lions odds today. The Rams seem to be a head above the field in a crowded NFC and the Lions haven't shown the ability to do it consistently. If they can get Stafford into some turnover trouble it will help a lot. But he usually plays at his best against the Lions. The offensive line will need to be at their best and the defensive line will need to get pressure, or it's probably going to be a 10-point deficit all afternoon. 2 Quote

Jason_R Posted December 14 Posted December 14 The Lions will need outstanding performances from two of Goff, Gibbs, and Hutchinson to pull it out. Quote
TP_Fan Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Elite defense ends, Crosby and Garrett, wasting their entire career losing. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted December 14 Author Posted December 14 Awosika out, starting line will be Decker-Frazier-Glasgow-Ratledge-Sewell. Quote
Jason_R Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Well, we knew what we had with Awosika, and it was 🫣. Let's hope that Frazier gives them 😈. Quote
