Detroit Lions (0-0) @ Arizona Cardinals (0-0) Game Day thread. 09/08/19

I’m so nervous

Same here. Already running out of Spotify playlists to pump myself up lol

 

[Iron Lion]

I'm so excited about today's game and the Cardinals offense. If the Lions blitz let's make them pay.

I thought blitzing is the main counter to the Air Raid...?

This depth chart shows Toth behind Gilbert at RT. Does that mean he's starting? Can't be, right? Has to be Miles. I don't even know who Justin Murray is.

Trivia question:

The last 11 QB #1 draft picks who started game 1 of the season, lost game 1 of the season. Who was the last that won?

(Disclaimer: This is according to Chris Simms and I haven't fact checked it.)

I don't want to hear any claims it's pretty-boy football from the Lions. When the Lions blitz the Cardinals need to make them pay for it. None of this stuff like with the Raiders.

I don’t know the answer but I can tell you NONE of them came in knowing the system. Huge difference.

I'm just looking for some competitive football this game, nothing more nothing less.

David Carr. Yeah I know, not very interesting in hindsight.

I second his sentiment.

 

[iLLmatiC]

I'm not asking for much, I just want to see a team that looks competent out there. Last year kicked the figurative poo out of my fandom.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

If only Murray could play close to what Mahomes does.

 

[Buckybird]

Stop the run or turn out the lights!

3 of the first 4 games are against teams the will pound the rock & the Lions did as well towards the back part of last season, it’s gonna be key as well today.

Go Big Red

In pre-game warmups, Justin Murray, just acquired this week, is lining up at first-team right tackle.

 

[TruColor]

So only 1 active TE.

Should be 2: Clay and Williams.

 

[iLLmatiC]

Almost there folks..

From warm-ups, also looks like Brock and rookie Byron Murphy will be starting corners. That would put Chris Jones in the slot.

at least the team has the Patriots 6th round pick next year........
