Week 4: Let's talk about the Lions

[TLO]

I don't know a Lions player from Jack Shit. (Except Stafford)

How does this one play out?

[Bump]

They don't stand a chance in hell

[pugsnotdrugs19]

They’re not, we’re hot.

Excited to see our offense inside on turf.

[Dante84]

Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson and... homelessness? Detroit!

[TLO]

Chiefs opened as 6 point favorites, FWIW.

[eDave]

They won today. All I got.

[Basileus777]

Clash of undefeated teams

[smithandrew051]

Reminds me of the Bengals game last year. Bengals were very balanced and had a couple of nice early wins. Some people over thought it and believed the Bengals would give us a good game.

The two teams went in very different directions after that.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Haven’t lost

[BWillie]

I don't know a Lions player from Jack Shit. (Except Stafford)

How's this one play out?

TJ Hockenson, rookie TE could be a good one.

[smithandrew051]

This should be the first time that we can really get an idea of what the defense is.

Big arm (but pretty average overall) QB, a few decent weapons, good running back, and at home for the Lions. We’re in Week 4, so there’s no more excuses about the turnover on that side of the ball. We’re not playing a gimmicky offense either, so that excuse is gone.

Time to see our defense just lineup and play.

[mnchiefsguy]

Lions offense has been pretty meh.

Defense has played fairly well other than the meltdown week 1 in AZ.

I think we pull away in the second qtr and never look back.

41-20ish...be nice to keep Stafford in check and not given up many points.

[Tribal Warfare]

LMAO!!!!! The Lions

[pugsnotdrugs19]

They’ve got the strong interior DL in the league. Elite run defenders all over with Robinson, Harrison, Daniels.

But I could see Mahomes dropping 450 on their secondary.

[St. Patty's Fire]

Lions have improved massively.

They just went into Philly and won. Can’t overlook them. Thankfully Stafford looked like ass today.

[eDave]

LMAO!!!!! The Lions

Talking heads will be all in with Lions.

[New World Order]

We're in a dome baby. Finally.

Zoom zoom

[MMXcalibur]

Chiefs by 4,000

[smithandrew051]

Lions have improved massively.

They just went into Philly and won. Can’t overlook them. Thankfully Stafford looked like ass today.

Blessing in disguise that we almost shit the bed today. We shouldn’t look past anyone. Time for a statement.

[New World Order]

35-20 Chiefs

[T-post Tom]

Lions have improved massively.

They just went into Philly and won. Can’t overlook them. Thankfully Stafford looked like ass today.

I was shocked to see the Lions win today. The people of Detroit need something to root for. Just not next Sunday. Everything else being equal, I don't see their offense keeping up with the Chiefs' offense.

[carcosa]

We will destroy them

[WhiteWhale]

Lions are better than people think, and their defense is good.

Chiefs will roll over them by two scores.

[big nasty kcnut]

Don't sleep on detroit they did beat san deigo and Philadelphia two playoff teams last year so let keep the pressure up.

[Deberg_1990]

I’m old enough to remember when Stafford was Mahomes before Mahomes.

[BWillie]

I’m old enough to remember when Stafford was the old Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes, the guy Matthew Stafford was supposed to be.

[DRM08]

They’re not, we’re hot.

Excited to see our offense inside on turf.

I believe this is Mahomes' first indoor pro game that actually counts.

Week 17 (2017 outdoors at Denver)
All of 2018 season was outdoors
First 3 games of 2019 all outdoors

Hopefully this is good for his ankle as well after a week on the dirt and a week in the rain.

[Bump]

they do look a lot better this season but Stafford isn't gonna keep them in the game against Mahomes.

[carcosa]

Don't sleep on detroit they did beat san deigo and Philadelphia two playoff teams last year so let keep the pressure up.

Oh no! They beat two paper tiger frauds???

[Chief Roundup]

Lions are the Patriots of the North with Matt Patricia as their HC.
They have Stafford, Amendola Jesse James, TJ Hockenson and Kerryon Johnson on offense.
Their defense has Trey Flowers, A'Shawn Robinson, and Darius Slay on defense.
Familiar name in Matt Prater as their Kicker.
It is our first NFC opponent of the season.
Should be an easyish win for us. Patricia will play us similar to how NE has played us in years past. They are no where as good as the Patriots though.

[tmax63]

Lions are better than people think, and their defense is good.

Chiefs will roll over them by two scores.

That sounds a lot like this week. I don't put them in the same class as the Ravens, KC, NE or Dallas etc. I think this one goes more like 38-17.

[InChiefsHeaven]

I think we go on the road in a dome and Patty is out sitting down by the 4th quarter with Matt Moore doing mop up duty. There, I said it.

[InChiefsHeaven]

And, we're gonna score in the 1st quarter...

[mnchiefsguy]

Lions have improved massively.

They just went into Philly and won. Can’t overlook them. Thankfully Stafford looked like ass today.

Yeah, they barely beat Philly, who was without their top 2 WR's.

I agree, I think Mahomes with light them up.

[mlyonsd]

And, we're gonna score in the 1st quarter...
:LOL:

[BryanBusby]

This is a game we can handle just fine. Need to get some better play from the safety position, though.

[FloridaMan88]

Last time the Chiefs played in Detoilet was when Jim Schwartz ran up the score on Todd Haley.

[keg in kc]

The Lions were actually my early trap game worry. Don't have a read on this game yet, but i'm probably not walking into it as confident as I was before the Ravens yet. I don't think this is going to be a put our helmets on the field and win kind of game.

[BWillie]

72-15, Chiefs

[Chief Roundup]

We haven't beat the Lions in Detroit since 1996.

[BryanBusby]

We haven't beat the Lions in Detroit since 1996.
and?

They can't keep pace with this Offense.

[Chief Roundup]

and?

They can't keep pace with this Offense.

And nothing. Did you read my prior post? I was just passing on some information.

[BryanBusby]

And nothing. Did you read my prior post? I was just passing on some information.
They've played the Lions in Detroit like twice since 1996. :shrug:

[Chief Roundup]

They've played the Lions in Detroit like twice since 1996. :shrug:

Yeah just like every other NFC team. That is how scheduling works.

[BryanBusby]

Yeah just like every other NFC team. That is how scheduling works.
Well yeah. No shit. Just doesn't really mean anything.

[Deberg_1990]

Matt Patricia and his pencil will be ready

[chinaski]

Matt Patricia and his pencil will be ready

Patricia is kind of a weird last name. I mean, maybe it's not "weird" per se, but it's definitely unique. I personally don't know anybody with a woman's first name as their last name...

Matt Myrtle
Matt Gertrude
Matt Ethyl
Matt Debbie
Matt Barbara
Matt Dorothy
Matt Eleanor
Matt Betty

Hmm.

[Naptown Chief]

Detroit sucks. Chiefs win 45-17

[BryanBusby]

Lions might be playing without Darius Slay.

[Easy 6]

Andy Reid will not be outcoached by the likes of Patricia, and Money will never be outplayed by Stafford

My knee jerk sense says it could maybe be ugly and weird looking... but Detroit is about to meet the ultimate engine, and it has the horses to win ugly or not

[siberian khatru]

We haven't beat the Lions in Detroit since 1996.

Was that the Gannon Thanksgiving game?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Lions might be playing without Darius Slay.

And Mike Daniels.

This has rape written all over it....

[Hammock Parties]

They looked good today.

Stafford can't run around like Jackson so I think we're gonna be OK.

[carcosa]

Detroit sucks. Chiefs win 45-17

YAS bitch!!!

[Dunerdr]

Ive only seen a little bit of lions fooseball and they just feel like an uninspired team. Like patriot level emotional lock down without the BB genius to keep things going.

[gonefishin53]

Darrel Williams was productive today. I wouldn't be surprised if he get's more work vs Detroit. If he keeps producing like he did today, I think he's more of the work horse type of RB than Damien or Shady.

[RollChiefsRoll]

Fuck em.

[TLO]

As an NFL fan, I'm embarrassed to admit how little I know about the Lions. They're kinda like the Bengals of the NFC. You know they exist, but they always suck so you don't pay any attention to them.

Might have to review some game tape (watch YouTube highlights), and see if a Lions fan forum even exists and do some reading there.

[TLO]

Report from the Lions fan forum:

They don't talk about much. They felt like they were kinda lucky to beat Philadelphia. They are entertaining the idea of trading for Jalen Ramsey. There was also this.

Today, 05:57 PM
Next week should be an easy W

I don't think that guy was being serious though.

[kcmecker]

I'll be there!

[Iconic]

Damn, didn't know our bye week came this early.

[TLO]

As I'm reviewing the game tape.

1.Stafford looks like a statue in the pocket.
2. The Eagles are repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. So many mistakes. Jesus I'd be furious if I were an Eagles fan.
3. Stafford can make some throws when he has time.
4. The Lions defense looks like they're running in quicksand. It's like watching an entire defense of Reggie Ragland's.
5. Avoid kickoffs to Agnew. Punts too. He's had 2 good returns.

Summary: The Lions will probably score some points against our defense. Depending on how long we keep our foot on the pedal, our offense might score 40+ with ease. I wish we were at full strength against this defense. Would be fun to watch all our receivers on turf.

Chiefs win by double digits.

[Hammock Parties]

Detroit's offense was hot garbage in that game. You can tell that just looking at the stat sheet.

We are going to run them right out of their own building.

I may have to make a Lion King meme.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I was gonna say, not sure if it was just a narrative or truth but it feels like Detroit should have a pretty slow defense. Super stout up front but slow.

Not good against this Chiefs team.

[CoMoChief]

Lions have improved a great deal.

But they were monumentally shitty before....and have since graduated to just shitty, where they currently stand today.

Golladay, Marvin Jones are good WR's. They have a good RB and Stafford can still chuck the ball around, even though historically he's been kind of a turnover machine.

I just don't think this will be a pushover game like some think. It's a road game for one...always tough to win on the road.

[BryanBusby]

Mahomes is gonna let it fucking rip in a dome

Stop being a pussy

[Megatron96]

So I just watched most of the Lions Eagles game. Really paid more attention to the offense than the defense.

Their OL seems soft. Allowed themselves to be pushed around by a dinged up Eagles DL. Didn't give up 9 million sacks though, like they did last year.

Run game didn't look that great. They had one big gain (41 yds?), other than that they were averaging less than 3.1 yds/carry. I think they were using three RBs today, and all pretty big guys from what I could tell. in spite of this and the Eagles weakened DL, as a group they only ran for 86 yds and a TD.

They have three pass-catching TEs they like to use. They could be trouble. Especially TJ Hockenson, the rookie. He looks big and fast (for a TE), runs a good route and has pretty good hands. Like the guy for the Ravens.

Only WR that looked consistently decent was Marvin Jones Jr. 6-for-101 and a TD. Their no. 1 receiver Galladay only caught two passes today for 17 yds, no TD.

Amendola was also a relative non-factor, 4-for-37.

In total, the Lions threw for 201 yds and a TD.

I checked a couple Lions boards and mostly they've written this one off. Two guys think that Stafford is as good as Mahomes, just doesn't have the weapons or the OC. They believe that Stafford will come alive at home and "destroy the over-hyped Chiefs."

At first glance, they look a lot like the Raiders this year. Improved over last year, but not close to the same class as our Chiefs.

[Hammock Parties]

Mahomes is gonna let it fucking rip in a dome

Stop being a pussy

Yep.

We took an AFC powerhouse punch today and gave them the finger.

Detroit is smallfry.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

If we had Hill, we’d probably drop 60 in that place.

[BryanBusby]

If we had Hill, we’d probably drop 60 in that place.
Who says we're not for sure?

[carcosa]

We're absolutely going to slaughter them. WRITE IT DOWN

[Tribal Warfare]

The thing that came out of the Ravens game that was a real positive was with Darrel Williams the Chiefs can run an efficient 4 minute offense to bleed the clock.

[wheeler08]

I'll be there!

I’ll be there too! First time to Detroit. Plan on hitting some breweries Saturday on the way up. Staying at Greektown Casino

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He really impressed me. Love our depth at RB.

[Jewish Rabbi]

Chiefs will win 69-0 with Mahomes passing for 420 yards

[wheeler08]

He really impressed me. Love our depth at RB.

Who did Darwin Thompson piss off to get dropped to 4th string?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Who did Darwin Thompson piss off to get dropped to 4th string?

Think Andy mentioned something in a presser a few days ago about needing to get his pass protections down.

[JakeF]

I haven't watched a Lion's game but stats look solid.

Beat the Eagles, Chargers but tied Arizona?

61/61 PS and PA

Ranked just above league average in most areas.
Sacks are one of their better categories; 9 sacks, ranked 7th
A lot of Knock passes down but don't catch them very often considering; 26PDs/2ints

[carcosa]

Chiefs will win 69-0 with Mahomes passing for 420 yards

Freaking epic post FTW!

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Ive always loved Darrell since last year. I’m glad he’s getting reps. Trade Damien Williams tho. Also I’m betting on Tyreek returning this game. Said 2 games originally and I will stand by that. Btw I love his fresh haircut

[JakeF]

He looked good today, showed more speed than i remember.

[Simply Red]

and?

They can't keep pace with this Offense.

that's the thing, yip!

[Chris Meck]

He looked good today, showed more speed than i remember.

He looks a little leaner. He's always going to be a bruiser, but you need a guy like that.

I liked him last year and am glad he's getting some PT.

I could see a 'thunder and lightning' thing with he and Thompson in the future.

McCoy has definitely got a little left in the tank, and sharing time may very well extend his career further.

Eagles were without their top 2 WR as well...

[Mecca]

The Lions are your typical NE disciple team, they're all about being big and physical and playing the run. Running up the middle will probably be a horrid idea against them but at the same token, they're big and slow.

[Coochie liquor]

I'll be there!

Oh shit!! Represent and have a blast!!

[OKchiefs]

Darius Slay and Mike Daniels both could be questionable for the game.

[Chris Meck]

I think Matt Stafford's career is a travesty.

I think he's the best QB on the most pathetic team over the span of his career in the NFL.

He's just gotten hammered, and yet instead of getting gun-shy and folding like a David Carr, he still just hangs in there.

I think he's tough as hell and still has one of the best arms in the league. Mentally tough, too.

But, as it's been said, not the most mobile guy. He's an old-school pocket QB.

Hockenson is a rising star TE. I honestly don't know much about their WR's this year.

All I know is that I would've heavily invested in the offensive line years ago and the Lions haven't.

Shit, i just looked up their drafts and they haven't drafted a single offensive lineman in like four years.

Fucking ridiculous. If were Stafford, I'd be forcing my way out of there.

Huh? They’ve drafted and developed almost their entire OL.

Decker and Ragnow were both 1st round picks. Dahl was a 5th and Glasgow was a 2nd.

[Chiefs=Champions]

I think Patricia will have a good defensive game plan - but we've got too many weapons to be held in check for long. Regardless this game can only benefit Mahomes as he goes against a New England style defense. The more these coordinators throw at him - the more dangerous he becomes.

[RunKC]

Kerryon Johnson and TJ Hockenson were nice adds on offense, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve taken off. They scored 27 points but 7 of those were a return on ST’s.

Their pass rush isn’t that great either. Eagles had guys wide open a lot of the time last week.

This seems like a game that is close for awhile in the first half and then we pull away.

38-24 type game

[scho63]

They are much better than last year on defense. We have much more offensive power.

[ptlyon]

Thank God CBS is picking up the bears/vikes this week. Fox gets the single and they would've showed that here. Not a given that we will see the Chiefs, but I think we will.

[Chris Meck]

Huh? They’ve drafted and developed almost their entire OL.

Decker and Ragnow were both 1st round picks. Dahl was a 5th and Glasgow was a 2nd.

You're right.

I glanced quickly and missed 2016.

[St. Patty's Fire]

I was shocked to see the Lions win today. The people of Detroit need something to root for. Just not next Sunday. Everything else being equal, I don't see their offense keeping up with the Chiefs' offense.

They looked good in that game man. Their defense has been overhauled, their front 4 is nasty.

Buuuuuuuuttttt....Mike Daniels was spotted in crutches, so that’s a big hit right there. Slay’s status is up in the air too it seems. They still have Flowers and Harrison who are beasts, and Patrica is hit or miss but their D has been pretty tough overall. Gave up 34 combined to P Riv and Wentz. Not bad, not bad.

Mayyyy be tough sledding running the ball. Lions run D is definitely better than the fucking Raiders and they obliterated our run game. Hopefully our line isn’t poopy like it was in that game.

But, yeah. We should absolutely win this game. Just hope people aren’t bugging out if the Lions keep it close.

[Halfcan]

Andy needs to keep his foot on the gas. I don't like this "run the clock down" strategy for an entire second half 2 weeks in a row.

[chiefzilla1501]

Stafford is one of those guys who puts up numbers that don't translate to wins. Detroit is better this year because their defense is better. So if they want to beat us, they'll need to do it on defense. Don't see that happening.

On a side note, apparently this is mahomes' first game played in a dome. So that should be interesting.

[Megatron96]

Their defense, IMO, is good and hopefully will be a good test to see how our new toys fare against a Patriots-style defense, as well as how much Pat has learned about how to decipher it, but they won't be able to stop our offense from scoring 34 points. I think they'll put a damper on our run game to a degree, but they don't have anyone that can do much about DR, Hardman, and Sammy. Much less do anything about Kelce.

And the Lions offense will be a bigger test for our defense than anything we've faced this season. Mostly because of Stafford. Stafford is a solid QB with a live arm and some ability to scramble left in him. And he's a traditional QB; he's going to set up his line according to what he sees pre-snap, go through his reads and throw the ball to open receivers, mostly on target. He's not going to give us the game through inexperience or lack of intelligence. He might throw an errant pass; it's just in his nature sometimes.

Their RBs and WRs don't look that scary, but their TE group are all decent receivers. Should be a good test of our LBs/safeties coverage and tackling skills. They should be busy.

At the end though, the Lions don't score a lot, just 21 points a game. They'd have to play at a higher level offensively to have a chance of beating the Chiefs. At least two scores better.

But, yeah. We should absolutely win this game. Just hope people aren’t bugging out if the Lions keep it close.

By design. They put 9-10 guys within 4 yards of the line of scrimmage. How did that work out for them stopping patty going over the top. Teams can slow down and even obliterate "an" aspect or player on our offense, but that just means we obliterate them in others ways. They get to pick their own poison.

[carcosa]

He had the falcons in preseason

I expect Hardman (or Tyreek if he's healthy) to catch a pass that travels 80 yards in the air

[Imon Yourside]

Lions are good, about half the team the Chiefs are. Chiefs by 3 td's.

[Hammock Parties]

Stafford is in sharp decline.

He has only FOUR 300-yard games in his last 19 games.

This is going to be a blood bath. That offense CANNOT keep up with us.

The only thing that worries me is Kenny Golladay catching eleventy jump balls against our midget corners.

[ModSocks]

Reminds me of the Bengals game last year. Bengals were very balanced and had a couple of nice early wins. Some people over thought it and believed the Bengals would give us a good game.

The two teams went in very different directions after that.

I think this is a good comparison.

[KChiefs1]

This game concerns me because the Ravens game was very physical. Last season after the Ravens game the Chiefs lost two in a row.

[ModSocks]

Gave up 34 combined to P Riv and Wentz. Not bad, not bad.



The Chargers moved the ball on these guys pretty easily. IIRC, they missed some FG's and turned the ball over (3?) times in the redzone.

And IMO, the Chargers look like a 7 (at most) win team right now.

[ModSocks]

This game concerns me because the Ravens game was very physical. Last season after the Ravens game the Chiefs lost two in a row.

Last year's Ravens game was far more physical. Yesterday didn't look like anything abnormal for our boys.

[mnchiefsguy]

No reason to rush Tyreek back for this one.

Chiefs should win easily...avoid the trap!

[Kiimo]

Pat's first dome game.



450 yards 4 td

[Hoover]

I see a good old fashioned shootout.

We will have to watch TJ Hockenson... Dude's going to be great.

I've already taken the Lions +7, but Chiefs win this. 34-28

[ModSocks]

I see a good old fashioned shootout.



I don't.

This is an offense that we should match up well with.

[stevieray]

If we win our third road game out of the first four?

:eek:

[Halfcan]

Mahomes will be running out the clock in the 4th quarter and end it in the Victory formation for the fourth week in a row.

[Hammock Parties]

If we win our third road game out of the first four?

:eek:

Old hat for Andy.

This team will be 7-0 before the Packers game.

If we win that we might be 15-1....

[T-post Tom]

I hear that Dick "Night Train" Lane is pretty good on defense.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The Chargers moved the ball on these guys pretty easily. IIRC, they missed some FG's and turned the ball over (3?) times in the redzone.

And IMO, the Chargers look like a 7 (at most) win team right now.

Yeah they’re not a playoff team IMO.

Gonna be tough to get past teams like Buffalo with a cupcake schedule

[Rasputin]

I don't trust any Lion fans they be lion all the time.

Actually completely agree with you on the Chargers win total, me and my friend were saying the same thing yesterday. They’re a below bubble team. But they can still move the ball, as they showed. Detroit still kept points off the board. Yaaaaa they missed some Fgs but Chargers gonna Charger.

What makes this game a 99.9% chance loss for them is that their offense is completely and utterly underwhelming overall. They have decent personnel but eh...they just don’t inspire confidence. Especially against Football Jesus. I think our D can honestly keep them under 20 if they have a nice day.

[carcosa]

I don't trust any Lion fans they be lion all the time.

LOL!!!!!!

[chiefzilla1501]

He had the falcons in preseason

Thats not even close to the same thing.

[chiefzilla1501]

Stafford strikes me as a safer more likeable version of cutler. He can make all the throws. He can make incredible throws. It's elite arm talent with very average decision making.

What about his give-a-shit meter though?

[WhiteWhale]

Stafford is in sharp decline.

He has only FOUR 300-yard games in his last 19 games.

This is going to be a blood bath. That offense CANNOT keep up with us.

The only thing that worries me is Kenny Golladay catching eleventy jump balls against our midget corners.

The lions do that after a long time.

Most guys just retire after playing too long with a franchise that couldn't bother to even try winning, but Stafford is gonna phone it in for 30 million a year or whatever the **** he makes.

I think you're part right and part wrong.

I think Stafford, Cutler, and Rodgers are all similar in pure talent when they came into the league. They're all different mentally and in terms of their situations.

Stafford, in a different situation, probably doesn't turn into what he is. After being with the lions he's just passionless at this point. Collecting a check and relying on his talent to coast.

He's turned INTO Jay Cutler, but Jay was always an apathetic half asser with gobs of ability. I don't think Jay improved one bit from his rookie season to his last snap. He just didn't CARE. He had no passion. Ever.

I think the Lions beat that kind of apathy into him. The end result is the same, but it's sad how he got there. With Jay Cutler it's sad his career didn't end up more like Jeff George. He wasted his own talent. The Lions wasted Stafford's.

[Megatron96]

Stafford is a tough, talented QB that has always wanted to win, period. I remember when he came into the league; he said he idolized Brett Favre (can you see the similarity in his game?) and that he wanted to bring a championship to Detroit. Years of being beaten down, the constant carousel of coaches/systems, etc., may have taken away his passion at this point though.

I remember when he got hurt early in his career, and was sidelined for a season. He battled back from that and since then he's been as durable a QB as there is in the league.

IMO, he's been plagued by two things that have kept him from leading his team to top tier status: bad management and coaches, and inconsistent play.

I'm not going to get into the bad management/coaching bit; it's been well-documented in the past.

Anyway, I was watching some of that Eagles game and he left some plays on the field that were nothing more than throwing from odd platforms/arm angles and simply being inaccurate. Some may have been also due to bad decision-making, but I wasn't watching that closely so I can't speak to that. But he definitely missed a few throws that should've been positive plays if not for inaccurate throws.

That's what troubled me with the Draft comparisons of Mahomes & Cutler. I guess it's hard for the media people to judge the internal drive on the kids. But I still don't like the Cutler comparison given his reputation for not giving a crap.

Talent wise, there is NOTHING wrong to being compared to Cutler.

Obviously Mahomes is MORE talented, but I think sometimes people overlook how much pure talent and what a cannon of an arm Cutler had.

The hilarious thing is that this pro comp is exactly why Bears fans were mostly against the idea of drafting Mahomes. They may complain NOW, but it was overwhelmingly only about Trubisky and Watson for them at the time. They were terrified of 'another Cutler'.

[Megatron96]

IMO, this version of the Lions is not the same team as last year. And yet that team somehow beat the Patriots.

This year's Lions team somehow best both the Chargers and the Eagles. After tying the Cardinals? Lions always do weird things.

Here's the thing: the Lions aren't healthy in some key spots. Their best two DBs are hurt, D. Slay their best CB is nursing a hamstring, his right one I think. Against our WRs he's going to have to run full speed for an entire game. If I were their DC I might sit him, but they are one game back of GB after last night and so I expect him to play in some fashion.

DT Mike Daniels, their best DL is out, and another D lineman, Hand, is nursing a hand or arm injury and may not play.

On offense Amendola is dealing with a chest injury of some kind, but he'll likely play.

Something else to keep in mind. This Sunday the Chiefs are playing on turf, and turf makes fast guys faster. Also, up to this point are D, in particular Mr. Frank Clark has played in extreme heat, on dirt, and in the rain, none of which are optimal for footing, quickness, or bull-rushing. This weekend he'll be playing on the best kind of surface for his style of play. Ditto for Chris Jones in the power rush area. Might be interesting to watch.

Of course, the converse of the above is that the Chiefs aren't healthy either. Shady's dinged, and we don't know how bad, Damien's out for this Sunday, and now we hear Darrel is dinged up. And we know about the other key issues already.

If we were completely healthy I think the Chiefs could blow this out to a 3-4 TD lead early in the second half. As it is, While I still completely believe in Neo, er I mean Mahomes, and I think this defense is going to play fairly well, the Lions are just weird. I think it's going to be a game with shoot-out potential. 42-37 Chiefs.

How is the O-Line for the Lions who their best guy.

Their OL had some troubles at the beginning of the season (16th), but they've switched some guys around and is now ranked 11th overall.

LG Joe Dahl appears to be the 'best' lineman, but he's new to the position apparently. He did stop Fletcher Cox for the entire game against the Eagles.

Frank Ragnow C, is expected to become a Pro-Bowler if not this year probably next.

RT or RG might be their weakest positions on the line.

Should be fun to see what our pass rush can do if Stafford is a little mobility limited (and he wasn't that mobile in the first place).
