I really haven't followed Tenessee at all this season. Are they anything to be worried about? Heck, I don't even know the QB LOL

I think you always have to be on your game no matter what team you are playing. Most of us thought the Rams would be a walk in the park, and look how close it was. I dont honestly believe that the Titans are a pretty weak team. As bad as Chris Johnson has been this year, he still can take it to the house on any play, so that obviously has to be a concern. However, we've done pretty well so far against RBs.

Obviously, there are going to be a lot of topics regarding this game, but right now, this SHOULD be a win.

home or away?

In Tenn.
Should be a 'W' IMO; Locker hasn't been looking too good from what I hear and I don't think they'll pull him for Hasselbeck......yet.
This should be a "get right" game for the Leos, though it could just as easily be a "get right" game for the Titans.

Win

The Lions should win this game. Locker is OK, but he's not a QB that strikes fear into any team facing him. Chris Johnson is nothing like he was, their offensive line isn't really playing that great, and they have a so-so defense. Their just got their butts handed to them by the Chargers. We destroyed San Diego last seaon, and we had guys hurt that weren't playing in that game, as I recall.

I think Tennessee screwed the pooch with their draft, and their free agency moves (lost Finnegan, Jason Jones and Chris Hope, signed Kamerion Wimbley and Steve Hutchinson) didn't really impress me all that much either.

Lions should win this one by around two TDs, IMHO.

So in reality it will be a last mintue drive by Stafford to win.

Well as it turns out, St. Louis is a little better than we all thought. Tennessee (IMO) is weaker than St. Louis.

I have a funny feeling that when the dust settles, St. Louis will turn out to be a better team than most people thought. San Francisco looked like they could finish 16-0. Who is going to beat them?

AZ / Seattle

This game is all about the matchups. The Lions strengths are going against the weaknesses of the Titans on both sides of the ball. They have a weak offensive line that will be going up against our deep rotation. They also struggle with rushing the passer so I expect to see good decisions from Stafford. The Titans will probably key in on what St.Louis and San Fran were doing and drop 7-8 into coverage on almost every play since their pass rush isnt very good anyway why would they bother? I think Staff will still have to take shots down the field because if there is anything to be learned from our defense on Sunday is that its good enough to keep us in games but it cant win them for us when the offense is struggling. If we get going early, this is a blowout. If we sputter out of the gates, I will be hoping for more late game heroics.

If they drop back, they'll get Leshoure's legs under him by feeding him the ball. And you're correct, the matchups don't look good for Tennessee this week, but any given Sunday...

We? Go back and check the Rams vs. Lions thread. I had said the game wouldn't be a blowout, and would be closer than people were giving the Rams credit for. The thing is, Tennessee and St. Louis are on opposite paths. Tennessee is climbing down while St. Louis is climbing up. I think Locker is in a tough situation, and isn't as good as what the Titans (or I) thought he was.

I didnt mean anything bad by that, I guess by "we" i meant most of us.

I know dude. I just had to throw that in there. I was right about something, so I need to mark it on the calendar.
