Game Dey!!!

[*bfine32*]

I wanna see the 1's get out there for a series each, dominate, then put on the baseball caps (other than the Guards)

[Whacked]

Looking forward to seeing how a few of the newbies look.

One of them is all the hype on Brooks lol

Been a long time coming. Anxious to see Golden's defense in action and the play of the rookies.

I feel like the odds for the favorite potential winner has been solidified...

I would just add I would to see the entire OL (starters) play 2 series with Browing in week 1 and then Ridder in week 2, but with no Tee and Chase. I know they get reps in practice at times with the ones (Especiilly Browning), but nothing like game action to see what we have with our back up QB's and then also Burton, Yoshi and others with a good OL with them.

Then starting guards play most of 1st half. We need to see if they are the answer while there are a few FA's OG's available in FA still.

[Bengalitis]

so we can expect a 3-0 start this season... anything less than that Zac should get some well deserved _________? aye?

Will be interesting to see how much we have improved even against the Eagles backups. They are the Champs for a good reason and 
are as deep as any team. I think we have improved with the new coaches and players, we will see how much but we cannot take a ton 
from preseason. The Lions got dominated by the Chargers because they didn't play any starters.

actually the Lions got dominated by backups and rookies, Chargers sat their core starters also

I agree like to see 1s for maybe two series on each side, if Fairchild is looking good, i pull him also since we are a bit thin at guard.

[Sled21]

I'm really wanting to see what Stewart brings... also looking forward to seeing Tajh Brooks running the ball.

OL being able control LOS
DL being able to control LOS
All rookies but especially 6 picks - Will Stewart's good start in camp against our OL show up tonight. Also Knight and Carter
CB's - I know Hill and Cam amy be out, so how do the others look\
Safety play - big concern for me still

Please no injuries for either team

I am excited to see Shemar and Demetrius out there for sure. Haven't heard much about Barrett Carter from Camp, would be nice
to see him do well. Of course want to see how Fairchild and Rivers blocking. Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson should get a lot 
of snaps and could show up big time.

Safety play is a question, wish they added another one with how bad Geno Stone was last year.

I will be watching to see if Eagles blitz us and also if Golden plays a vanilla defense in preseason.

Never smart to blitz Burrow, especially when you can get to him without blitzing. Kind of hope they are blitzing because they cannot
get to Joe.

Well the Chargers had some starters out there, the TE Dissly is a starter, also on the DL they had some starters play.

I didn't see any Lions starters in that game.

Speaking of the Chargers, now LT Slater appears to be injured. Happened in practice. Left on a medical cart. Left leg injury. Just signed a huge contract, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

I hate to see anyone injured. Also FA Gardner-Johnson of the Texans left on a cart.

Let's hope these guys and others injuries are not as bad as they appear.

[BengalYankee]

Why do teams still have joint practices?

Damn, Slater is a damn good player, wanted us to draft him. I don't know if he deserved to be the highest paid OL in NFL history though.

That hurts the Bolts bad if serious.

Another good player. Just goes to show preseason games are not the only place starters get injured.

Didn't you hear?  Apparently the Ravens players are complaining about being given a new recovery pool.  They claim 50%,  1 in three 3 of them can't swim and are all divas demanding world class olympic swimmers come teach them to swim made a fun video asking Phelps who is from Baltimore to teach them to swim.  So of course they are angry about the recovery pool and prone to fighting.

Take it easy Georgie, even though you're a moderator you don't have to be a prick all the time. Take some time off.

I'm just teasing a bit, goofing around and not resorting to name calling.  Look Sled I don't hold any grudges or at least try my best not to.  We all have a few dustups here from time to time.  I'll add this, as a moderator I'll never let disagreements affect how I do my job.  But as a forum member I feel I should be allowed to have disagreements with others and goof around a bit.  

But I understand and I'll move on and not mention it again.  Sorry if you feel I stepped over the line.  I hope you enjoy tonights game.  :)

very limited  for a few charger starters, but yes lions did not play any but the game really was controlled by Lance, he had a very solid game whereas Allen had a horrible game
