The time is now for the Lions!!!

by msivits on Sep 11, 2010 9:35 PM EDT

It's here, it's finaily here. The Lions begin there season on Sunday. I've been back and forth on both sites and as usually Bears fans think there gonna win and so do we. My views are simple, the Bears O-line is worse than ours, but our CB's are unproven and the Bears WR suck. The fact is the Lions get to show off there new front 4 which is pure scary, and Bears fans continue to turn a blind eye on that. There counter is our cb's and lb's are weak and will allow big plays.

Our Biggest advantage is we had Martz and Rod as coaches on our team and know what's in store. Cutler will pass for some yards but his 3 to 7 drops backs will offer sacks for our D-line. We know how to attack a Tampa 2 defence becase we already had Rod as our coach. I'm notching this one up as a coming out party for the Lions in the NFC north "no puns intended" Our D-line forces Cutler into bad choices, and stuffs Forte for under 75 yards. Bears WR are a joke and so are our Cb's so some big plays slip through, bottom line there offence can't keep up with ours.

PS: I know Backus has a tough job infront of him but they talk as he's a rookie LT that will be walked over like a scrub and that won't happen. He might give up a sack, maybe two but he's facing the best DE in the league and if that's the worst, I'm willing to bet on the Lions.

I wouldn't say the Bears wide recievers suck

I’d just say that they are unproven. Knox, Hester, Aromashadu, and Bennet all are competent enough to put points on the board. My worry for the Bears is the o-line. 16 sacks given up in just 4 preseason games is way too much. I’m lovin’ the match-up problems that our offense give that unproven secondary of the Bears, though. I’d be more afraid of our passing attack than theirs, honestly.

From 0-16 to the Superbowl baby!

careful man

Bears wideouts are underrated if anything. Knox and hester are deep threats.

I had a dream were the Lions let me sign a 1 day contract they let me practice with them running drills and catching passes from Matt…At the end of the day I was called into Mayhews office. I was told I had just been traded to seattle for a 5th round draft pick.

I disagree

They are really really fast, no doubt. But they are both smallish. They can be handled at the line of scrimmage, and can be blanketed by coverage due to their lack of size. If they make a catch and get to the second level, then we have problems. But I seriously doubt you’ll see them just plain outrunning the man coverage and catching 30+ yard bombs. They are both overrated slot receivers.
Aromashodu, however, worries me. He can be a legitimate deep threat guy.

+1

They suck, and confused in a Martz offense.

Actually

Issac bruce had been teaching Hester the martz offense.

People over look them because of there size more than anything. Size never held Santana Moss from making a game breaking run.

I actually agree with this Profiler

These guys are young, fast and pretty talented. Schwartz won’t take them for granted.

Young and fast, yes

Talented….as kick returners, sure…receivers? not too sure.

I agree with the dude above, they are way too inexperienced to play in a Martz offense. Not to mention the cubbies dont have an oline

Well, maybe...

I just wouldn’t look past them… that’s all.

of course not

you never look past players with speed

I'm not sold on the Bears wideouts

They will put up big numbers, but only because they will play in Martz’s offense.

I agree with your assessment of Jeff Backus vs Julius Peppers.

If he gives up one or two sacks, I would call it a good day. That guy is a monster, but Backus isn’t talentless. I think he will hold his own well enough.

by RobertPorcher on Sep 11, 2010 11:00 PM EDT reply actions

Backus will have to have a big day

If he can keep Peppers in check, it may go along way to a victory for us.

RIP Robyn Bailey 1961 - 2010. I love you mum.

Could not agree more.

I am sure if it is a struggle to handle Peppers, Schwartz will get someone on that side of the line to help out.

Without a doubt

Without a doubt, Backus is one of my favorite Lions. Counting on him, is something done on every play. And Jeff, if you do have to trip him, please make it look more convincing. Everyone knew that the little linebacker couldn’t have pushed you down.

Go Lions

If they cut me, I bleed Honalulu blue and silver.
