Week 16 Preview:Lions Vs. Chiefs, As If it Matters Or Anyone Cares
December 22, 2007 on 1:44 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
After last week’s road blow out loss to the Chargers, Lions fans are increasingly more likely to be contented braving mall mayhem, in order to finish their last minute Xmas shopping, as opposed to watching the Lions flail away miserably for a victory in an entirely meaningless game, unless draft positioning counts of any importance.
In which case, the Lions should be trying to lose out, and accomplish the ignoble task of losing eight straight games. As we all know, in the paradoxical world of the Lions, they are just as likely to win the next two as lose them.
The Chiefs have suffered through an equally laborious and pathetic season. They are not as good of a team as the 6-2 Lions, but they may be a close draw with the 0-6 Lions. At any rate, they do feature some of the Lions achilles’ heels. TE Tony Gonzalez, check. Gonzalez will likely have a field day exploiting soft spots in the Lions cover-2. DE Jared Allen, check. Does anybody really want to see Allen end Jon Kitna’s career as he blows by Jeff Backus all day? With opposing QB’s completing 70% of their passes, this is likely to be a coming out party for Brodie Croyle, or Damon Huard, or whomever the Chiefs decide should be their starting QB (is Steve Deberg available?).
Since the Lions still have talent (according to Marinelli) and Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry doesn’t understand why the defense has struggled, I am left feeling that the current Lions coaching staff has become just as clueless as their many predecessors, and we are quite likely to see an extra special leonine effort from the Lions this Sunday. Chiefs 20 Lions 15
One embarassing road loss left in the miserable Lions ‘07 season, Yeah!!!! Happy Holidays, embittered Lions fans
