Lions v Titans: classic trap game

[icouldblion]

Sandwiched between our two most difficult games of the year (@minny & @gb) is this week's matchup with the lowly Titans. The Titans just traded away their young QB's most reliable WR (Hopkins), leaving their already weak offense with even fewer real threats. The Tennessee D is *edit: one of the best in the league.

This has all the makings of a classic trap game, as the Lions at 5-1 and sitting atop the NFC power rankings face the 1-5 Titans who are in the conversation for worst team in the league. Nothing comes easy in the NFL, but on paper this looks like a sure victory.

Here's hoping we don't get caught looking ahead to next week, that the team just takes care of business, and we come out of this one injury free.

While I don't think they lose this game, I think it could be sloppier and closer than it should be...or a blowout, lol. But I feel like the lions will try to shorten this game with the run and that'll keep the score down some...

Titans D is pretty good, they could make it messy. Zeitler back will help for sure.

D is going to be running practice squad edges so I’d expect Titans to try and attack that in their run game.

Titans defense is not too bad. They just traded their best linebacker and WR DeAndre Hopkins. I think they are a little light in the QB room. Levis is oft injured and up to this point not very good. Mason Rudolph is the backup. A good test for the lions patchwork DL. Paschal is out.... Next man up times two on the Edge

I'm taking Adderall for this one and look to see Dmo bounce back. Run it down their throat and a few sacks would be nice! I'm looking for James Houston to get two sacks! LET'S GOOOOOO

Pound the rock and play action. Would like to see LaPorta have a big game.

Our defense has been hanging tough despite having no DEs.

Levis is officially inactive, so we get Mason Rudolph.  Would love to see Arnold get his first pick today.

Decker completely whiffs on the first snap. He has struggled the past couple weeks

[badnews3123]

OL struggling a little in pass pro. Let them run block and get in rhythm.

Decker's gonna get Goff killed

Last one was on Glasgow. Decker wasn’t great, but Glasgow got smoked and forced Goff up in the pocket. Either way, run the ball.

[badnews3123]

Rudolph just punked the D on that drive.

[badnews3123]

Like I said, run the ball.

[TRUMP]

70 freakin yards. wooohooo

[icouldblion]

DAYUUUUM!

[Felix]

DBs looking as bad as I've seen this season...better get it figured out at the half

[TRUMP]

Titans have their own Jamo

[icouldblion]

Too many injuries on D are catching up with this unit. Not ready for GB

[badnews3123]

Defense needs to wake up. I don’t care who is on the edge. This is a bad offense.

[TRUMP]

it was a bad offense with Levi at QB. Rudolph is a lot better. our D is horrible today.

[badnews3123]

Finally get a pass interference call. Took it also being a face mask.

Rudolph sucks. It’s still a bad offense.

[TRUMP]

this game shows we need to make a move for a quality DE.
