Wow someone likes us a lot on Sunday!

Which would make them around the 21st in the league. They are currently avg. 113 pg.

Their run d did nothing to us that we didn't do to ourselves.

Regardless, the point is that the Detroit D is bad across the board...I don't know why everyone is so shaking in their boots at this stupid Lions team.

The Steelers are also 6-2.

The steelers are 10 times the team Detroit is.

I had that game down as a W.

And I already said that if we protect the ball we should win going away. Detroit's defense is BAD. They are great at turning the other team over though...protect it and we should be able to move all over the field.

I have this game solidly booked as a win.

Defensive stats:

Tampa is the fourth best defense in points scored against. Detroit is 23rd.

Tampa is the 6th best defense in total yards allowed. Detroit is 28th.

Tampa is the 16th least penalized. Detroit is the most penalized in the league.

Tampa is 17th in 3rd down conversions stopped. Detroit is 28.


Rushing yards Detroit is 12th, tampa 16th.

Passing yards Tampa 2nd, Detroit 30th.

(Cards 7th pass, 18th rush, 24th overall 19th scoring, 5th most penalized.)

For whatever reason we only ran 12 times (9 edge, 2 jj and1 shipp), I don't think the defense of TB was the problem. I think it was the team showing up the way they did.

I think the Lions defense is terrible, but opportunistic. We'll move the ball all over them, but if we can't protect it we will lose. If we protect it, we should win.

Our defense will score a TD on Sunday.

Man, we came close on the last one...I thought Dansby was going to score on his first turnover.



Unlike others, I *like* to say "I told you so."
