Detroit’s looked pretty raggy in both games so far. This is a winnable game.

After today I actually agree. But it won’t be easy.

Got over our LA/Mcvay at home demons, but we also get over our Goff demons as well.
We won't be able to get any of the pressure TB got today, their defense with Bowles is no joke. There's hope, but I see the Lions OL vs. our DL as way too bad a matchup. Today we made our living on defense against OL that were either dinged up or fresh off the couch.
We have a week to bask with renewed hope.

It’s because we actually do have hope. 1-1 is sooooooooo different than 0-2. Playoff aspirations are 100% intact.
No clue
Hopefully we just win a shootout. St. Brown left todays game early with an injury.

Remember it was the Lions who really put a dent in the hopes of the 2021 team.
Expect lots of pressure/blitzes up the middle. Hutchinson playing with his hair on fire off the edge.
Hopefully we counter it as well. Need a big James Conner game. Their secondary is much better than last year.

they bring too much heat we will counter it with Kyler Murry... but iy would be nice to rush the pressure right out of them

I'm better than Mulli!
Hutchinson is a beast. I don’t think we contain him.
And I think they’re oline is going to mash our dline in the run game.
Will depend on kyler imo. If he can make them pay with shots to mcbride and MHJ we can win.

Yup. We avoided the dreaded 0-2 with two winnable games up next on the schedule.

Really looking forward to this one. If we win we put the NFC on notice.

Game is at 5:55am Monday my time and I have the morning off work. Perfect start to the week 
First some reality.
The Rams are not a good team. Even if they had Nakua and Avila and Jackson at LT they are not a very good team. Their defense is pretty poor.
This was still a great win but this isn't the Rams of last year.
I say this to highlight that the Lions are not as advertised either. At least not yet. They laboured against a weak Rams team last week and lost yesterday against an average Bucs team.
Definitely winnable if we play like today but I expect the Lions to up their game after a poor showing this week.

If we can manage to get out ahead early like we did today thus taking away their run game and keeping their defense honest - we stand a very good chance.
If they are able to pin their ears back and blitzkreig rush Kyler - could make for a long day.
