Stafford apparently is having problems with accuracy and, against Minnesota, the game plan was shortened up taking away some of the threat posed by C. Johnson. Last week against Minn. K. Smith averaged 3.5 yards on 24 carries with a long run of 13 yards.

Defensively, they have a horrible pass defense - Brees averaged 10.5 yards per attempt!! and Farve hit 23 of 27 passes averaging 5.7 per attempt. This says to me they can't stop the short or the long ball. Their run defense gave up 91 yards on 15 attempts to Peterson and, in week 1, 143 yards on 24 carries to M. Bell. Yes, these are two very good offenses but what evidence is there that Detroit can stop anyone.

Look, I know we are having some scoring issues - but it's like GTripp said, they only argument that the Lions have is that they have to win sometime, and, while it's true that bad teams can beat less bad teams, I just don't see this happening. The players are going to be focused and, even if they play the same game against Detroit that they played against the Rams, they will win - AND they would win by more. Detroit is that bad.

With all that said, I have now officially jinxed us and we will lose by 20.

When you get two teams that can't score on each other then it's anybodys game at the end. We need some 21+yard plays this week so we don't have to touch the redzone.
