Poll: Who Is The Biggest Threat?

His receivers aren’t anything overly special, but Bradford is a really good QB, admittedly. The real deal, the real deal.

I think the Lions can contain Steven Jackson, and the O Line is not that good so the threat to the Lions is more from Bradford and his mediocre group of WRs. I am not terrified of Bradford, but the Rams offence will depend more on his ability than Jackson’s.

For me a no brainer. His O line is crap but Jackson can get it done.

Through four games Sam Bradford has played about as well statistically as Shaun Hill, against weaker pass defenses.

Through our first three games, we have allowed Matt Forte to get 201 total yards, LeSean McCoy 128 total yards, and Adrian Peterson 190 total yards. We contained the Packers’ backup running backs pretty well (as Ryan Grant was out with injury), but against Steven Jackson, I can see our defense really having trouble.

Jackson had 140+ yards against us last year. He is dinged up this year but we are allowing 130+ yards a game on the ground this year. We need to contain him.

This Sunday, we need to do a better job of stopping Rams RB Steven Jackson than we did last time. He was the difference in the game in 2009

Unless we had that dreaded 2008 Lions defense, then maybe, but Bradford is still a rookie and I’m pretty sure with the interceptions we got from Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre that sacking him and picking him off won’t be too difficult. Steven Jackson is my biggest worry and unless Bradford turns into the next Dan Marino, it’s a lot harder to shine on the road against a team that’s hungrier than yours for a win. Could be a trap game, but I expect the Lions to win big and Bradford to get picked 3 times with 3-4 sacks against him.

The Refs

our LBers are worse than our secondary

If Bradford can excel at doing that, we’re screwed. If he can’t then he’ll be on his back most of the game.

The Rams’ offense will be arguably the easiest so far this year.

Further more… as a team, they’re only averaging 95yds/game…. Hell, Steven Jackson has been banged up so much that he’s only averaging 71yds/game.

Mean while, Detroit IS giving up… 135yds/game… which was mostly Vick and AP.

Detroit held Chicago to just over 100 and GB to 92.

I don’t care who the RB is… if you can’t stop the run in the 4th Quarter, you’re going to have a tough time running.

I expect detroit to take the run away right away with zone blitzs and force Bradford to make the quick read that he so confidently thinks he can make.

I also expect the defense or special teams to score… its been awhile. Lets see if Logan can take a Kickoff to the house… the lions were a couple blocks from doin that last week.

I think the Rams will have the weakest offense that we have faced, but I still can see things going bad. Jackson – hurt or not – can carve up a defense. This will be a good chance for the Lions to show something up front. Make me proud, boys!

He’s a stud and we’re having trouble against stud running backs. Don’t get me wrong, Bradford may be dangerous, especially since he seems to thrive on short passes, and we have trouble stopping them. If we can slow down the running game and force Bradford to throw under pressure then mistakes will come.

and scotty still knows his old team quite well ….I think he will have ways to pick apart their scemes ….gunther will put lots of pressure on the rookie and he will make mistakes ….as long as can’t cover brown and dim-wit wade can defend and tackle , and our 4th string linebackers can not allow huge plays ……alot to ask !!!!

the last time we rushed a punt , flea flickered , reverse hand off on kick-offs , anything with some imagination …fake field goal …..at 0-4 , I would try just about anything to kick-start a win
