Lions vs Buccaneers 2

[stuckincheeseland]

rematch from week 6, the Lions offense was slowed a little by Tampas defense , and the Lions defense survived but left open receivers , Glenn needs a better plan and the Lions OLine needs to win this game

Philly has more talent and a QB that can run, but the way they’ve been playing the last 2 months I was hoping to get them. Plusbm sticking it to Patricia would be nice.

Bowles blitzes can be an issue. He’s great at disguising them and that’s been an issue for Goff in the past. He did a great job with Flores who blitzed non stop though. The size and speed of the WR’s could be tough, but Baker will hold the ball and force it, so they need to find a way to get pressure.

Rather face Tampa than Philly any day

I don't know man, Philly is totally broken. Most likely Sirianni is gone a year after making the Superbowl.

Lions favored by 6.

After all the bitching about the refs in the Dallas game, it looks like they might have done them a favor. With the way GB played against Dallas, Lions probably lose against them too.

Hurts has our number, and thier pass game would give us fits.

Maybe, but have you watched them the last month or so? That team is nowhere near be team they were in the first half. SF put the gameplan out and it seemed to break the lockeroom at the same time.

Also their D has fallen completely apart and Patricia has only made it worse.

I also think Hurts is more injured than they've been leading on.

Could be. I do think that teams figured out how to attack him and the Eagles have not adjusted well.

I know from one game to the next doesn't matter, but does anyone remember our team had a lot of injuries the first time we faced the Bucs in their place.   And Montgomery was injured early in the game.

Not gonna lie, the way they tossed that ball about is a little scary with this pass D....

[TRUMP]

kirby joseph will take out several TB players with hits to the knees. Lions win easily

Lions 47
TB 23

The Eagles got Patricia'd. I know anything can happen but the Bucs don't scare me at all. They just need to have a plan for the Bowles Blitz Bananza. 

The one thing that worries me is the hangover effect after such an emotional week and win (especially for Goff). I could definitely see them coming out flat after all that. Hell, I even kind of feel it. I can't explain it, but I don't feel as pumped up for this game as I did for the Rams game. 

[Felix]

And that too....there was a lot of pressure to get that one....the urgency does not seem as intense, but that could be a good thing too, they can play looser

[Vic]

Can't look past the Bucs, but they know and we know what's going to happen.

Only people looking past the Bucs are fans and sports radio. No way the team is.

These Bucs have grit too. They are a tough group. Baker deserves his flowers for his season and beating PHI. I don't think many predicted how well he's been doing. He has heart, but he throws a lot of floaters. Kirby and CJG will have some chances I think for INT's (I hope) Mike Evans a sheer beast and their defense is concerning. This game will depend a lot on our O line, but I like this crew up front. Should be a great game and more than anything I am HOPING the playcalling helps GOFF. He gets flustered really easy and I think TB will tackle this angle (pardon the pun) A LOT OF screen passes, play action and a lot of good blocking up front for the run game will be HUGE. GOFF needs to keep his composure and take more shots downfield. I think he is getting a lot more heart tbh and is doing well with these coaches and our Lions are looking like a fucking TRIBE. boys.

Still, we have yet to see a whole game by this Lions team. When they rip, THEY REALLY FUCKING RIP, but they go through lull periods. Maybe it isn't realistic for them to play full tilt all game, but it'd be nice to see. Man, this game is a little scary but I'd rather play TB than GB right now.

GOFF NEED TO STAY STRONG AND GO HARD this Sunday


Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

[Vic]

Baker is the equivalent of the current day Jeff Garcia playing with a good supporting cast. Get in his grill and force some moonballs for Kirby

The Bucs did look good.  Like a much different team than the Lions faced, earlier this year.  However, Hurts is hurt and their receivers are severely banged up, as well.  That said, I always want the better team.  I didn't want the Lions beating up on chumps back when they sucked and I don't care to see it, now that they're legit.

I still think we got this one, and with relative ease.  Lions 34 Bucs 28.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

First...I'm not worried about Green Bay, either.  Again, I love that our division is tightening up.  I hope we can see a return to the days when all four of the current division teams made up a true "Black and Blue" division.  

Also, I think you nailed it.  Our OL is going to be the key.  Keep Goff un-frazzled and keep the run game poppin', as they have all season, and I think this is an easy win for the Lions.  Well...as easy a win as you can get in the playoffs.

Sure as FUKK beats the days of overpaying Backus and Raiola for sub-par performance. 

[goldenlions]

Not to make much for comparison with the Rams. But looking at their playoff run in 2021 to the Superbowl. They were a #4 seed that year. Beat a lower seed in the wild card in AZ. Went to the divisional and beat TB in arguably the clutchest game ever for old 9. Then by sheer luck, the 6th seed SF 49ers went to Lamblow and beat the team that should have won the superbowl that year. And that led to the Rams with a home game for NFC Championship game against a divisional opponent. But now we find those same Packers as the underdog to the #1 Niners this season. And a win by the Packers could set up a meeting of divisonal opponents again in the NFC Championship game again.

Man I hope GB wins. But at this point it's just war no matter what

[Vic]

Fuck the Bucs
