People are unreal. We are missing 3/4ths of our defensive backfield against the top scoring team in the NFL and have forced 2 punts out of 4 possessions. Get a freaking grip people

Lions are fun to watch. I'll give them that. Now time to double dip.

New turf but several of their players play dirty. Will be good to escape without injury.

I'm fine with traveling in the playoffs. Our season ended the last 2 years at home and our offense is situated to travel well

Calling it now. Browns upsetting the Chiefs. Garrett is going to dominate.

This is gonna be a fun game to watch. At the beginning of the year I had this one as a loss. And Detroit is one of if not the best team this year and they play even better at home. So, feels like this week we are playing with "house money" and if we lose, so be it. But a win would be really nice.

After reading the forums this week I am 100% confident in saying there are so many people here that don't know what a "prevent defense" is and how it's different from a zone defense.

Hopefully Eric Moulds takes note that you can get rid of the Clap, but herpes is forever.

It would make sense for the Raiders to get something of value for him to help the rebuild. But it's the Raiders and I expect Bowl Cut Davis to keep him. And Crosby staunchly wants to remain a Raider

I agree with this. AJE will not be cut. Though if someone offered them good value in a trade you never know It wouldn't shock me to see Jones and /Miller retire. But I don't see either back next year. Other spots on defense: I don't think Douglas is back. Elam is a possible cut/trade candidate in his final year, but they may just keep him at his relatively cheap rate. Milano is definitely back as it costs more to cut him then just keep him.

Benford is going to be the guy on defense. Offense I'm going the the OLine keeping Josh upright to fully display his cape and open holes in the run game.

If this is true it's absolutely deplorable and disgusting. Let's let the process play out though. We have seen stuff like this play out both ways https://lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/former-nfl-star-intentionally-gave-incurable-std-to-multiple-women-specifically-targeting-buffalo-bills-fans-lawsuit/

Dolphins won the off-season again. Their fans were so stoked to sign Odell and Poyer. "Because I've heard of them" rarely plays out well with aging vets.

In fairness, the Rams are probably still exhausted from running up and down the field all day last week

They gave Cook a paltry 6 carries the whole game. No carries for Davis. No carries for Johnson. They quit the run game way too fast other than Allen who ran 10 times.

No. No they are definitely not.

Had this game marked as a loss before the season started. Last week made me think Detroit could hang 60 on us this week. Which means to me, low scoring Bills win.... somehow. Bills 26 Lions- 23

I agree, however in the last few seasons we have seen teams waiting for "their guy". Indy and Arizona just a couple years ago spring to mind waiting for Philly to be done. So if a team can identify Johnson as their guy and Johnson is 100% on board... they'll wait IMO. The reason I think he stays in Detroit if they fall short has been that having unfinished business with the Lions has been a reason he's given publicly when he pulls his name out. Kind of the mentality they have in Detroit right now.

And that will depend heavily on what he thinks of Williams. Something tells me as well with the Lions, Packers and Vikings all playing well....he may not want to stay in division either. Much tougher road than if he went to the AFCS for example. I do expect there to be an unexpected opening for two when it's all said and done. And of course, if no perfect fit happens I expect him back with Detroit... especially if they fall short of the Super Bowl again.

Oh I agree. They will. Everyone with an opening is going to. But only 1 team will get him (maybe not even that) and I don't think it's gonna be Chicago.

Vrabel is exactly the type of coach I see the Bears hiring. If he can bring a good OC with him. He's a culture changer.

Let's not act like we haven't been playing good defense at times and winning football with him in the line up. Prime Hyde wouldn't have made much difference last Sunday. I strongly disagree with it being as simple as "misdirection" that tore the Bills up. They have no issues with it when they play Miami twice a year. The big issue was matchup. The Bills play a lot of zone and the Rams top two WRs are zone destroyers. As long as their line protected well (they did) and Stafford was sharp (he was) the matchup was about as bad from a personally standpoint as you can draw up. Hyde standing in the secondary doesn't change that

Who said anything about throwing stats away? Are you trying to be edgy or do you really need simple statements broken down for you like you're 5? Because on this board it could easily be either. Let me know how to better provide an answer for you. Thanks

And at this point of his career I think that is a mistake.

Poyer was indeed terrible blast year and is incredibly unpopular with Dolfans because bof his continued poor play this year. That much I agree with Yes, Hyde plays smart. And experience is a valuable asset. But once the ball is snapped you need physical tools to cover a player or the speed to get to your spot in the zone in time. He didn't have that last year. I doubt being a year older has improved that. He can still have value. But I think his best value is teaching players like Hamlin and Cine and Bishop some tricks of the trade rather then pushing them back to the bench.
