Detroit Lions @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 09/15/24-09/21/24

This is a big game but I won’t go as far as calling it a defining moment.
It’s an awfully long season. 2-1 would make us all feel fuzzy and warm but it doesn’t define nothing but our fandom.

Agreed! Would be a really really nice win but losing a competitive game with a winnable game against Washington wouldn’t deter my optimism. 2-2 after our first four games would be just fine especially since 0-4 was realistic to start the season.

But let’s get greedy and show the NFL what’s up this weekend!

I’m thinking 2-2 with our yet to be used receiver and possibly a new disrupter on the defensive line we might be starring at the next 4 games as winnable.

The worst thing from the Detroit game would be a solid plan as to how to counter our offense.

Through two games, the @AZCardinals lead the NFL by converting 58.3% of third downs. Kyler Murray is 11-for-11 for 144 yards and two touchdown on third down. Passer rating = 158.3.

I think a win would be a lot more defining than a loss.

Of course. But a loss really wouldn’t necessarily be indicative of how the rest of the season will go. If we were to lose but beat the 49ers next week all will be good and we would be 2-0 in our division.

The Cardinals-Lions game is predicted to be the highest scoring game of the week at O/U 52 points. The Lions are currently favored to win by less than a field goal (-2.5).

Ill take the Redbirds and the points...and drop 20 on the Over

Detroit should win this game. We’re kind of outmatched in numerous spots, especially our D versus their O.

If we win though, playoffs might not be out of the question.

Yeah trenches is the big one.

The wildcard here is QB. Goff hasn't been playing well and Kyler has been on fire. If that happens again who knows? But as Goff probably has all day to pick passes I don't see it being an issue.

I would have to revise my hopium for this game if he can't go.

I think unless his leg is hanging off they will roll him out.

I think Rallis is going to have a plan to swarm Goff... he kinda has to, the book on Goff has always been that he wilts under pressure...the redbirds just have not been able to pressure him in the past much.

Jonathan Gannon can't match Dan Campbell in coffee intake

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon likes to rip espresso shots, but it's nothing close to what Week 3 opponent and Lions coach Dan Campbell does.
