Culpepper will be the starter for this one. That should pretty much sum up how this one is gunna go.

The only chance we have will be stopping Ray Rice, much like the St. Louis game and SJax. Their offense lives and dies with him, and if little Ray is allowed to get lose on short passes or runs we will be smoked.

Luckily, I think Sims will dominate this game cuz his speed is good enough to keep up with Ray for a second.

Thank god Matty will rest.

Browns won last night. Giving them 2 wins as well. =-) ALl they need is 1 more to move back in the draft.

This is a winnable game. Baltimore tends to overlook poorer teams and their offense isn't near as good as what the talking heads tell you it is. If Culpepper can control the turnovers and the special teams come up with something the Lions can steal this game. I'd definitely take DET with the 14.5 points.

Kiss of death

Not too sound like a prick but yeah.....we are not stopping Ray Rice and he is absolutely killing us.

Culpepper is still garbage. Defense cant tackle. Marvin White at safety has especially been bad. I'm a little more on the Eric Berry bandwagon after watching this bum consistently suck.

Our rush defense is laughable. just awful. cant tackle, cant tackle, cant tackle. I would pull every defensive starter and inform them that they dont deserve to see the field

I would have traded them before the season started just like I said back....when the season started. Well technically even before the offseason and actually last year's trade deadline when I wanted to scalp all of the guys on this team that I didn't want to be a part of it that are still here.

Again, the Lions do the exact opposite of rational logical strategy as I suggest, and naturally the results are commensurate with the quality of their decision making process. Maybe we can get Calvin hurt too before this one wraps up.

According to bartender, our rush defense is good. Our entire defense sucks ass. Every team cna get whatever they want against us.

Culpepper sucks ass. He's not in Minny anymore. He's old. He has small hands. He underthrows Calvin Johnson. He just needs to retire already.

Our offense looks like **** when CJ is doubled/tripled and our TE can't catch. Every play is for Kevin Smith and everyone knows it. We need another receiver opposite CJ. We need Pettigrew healthy. We need an upgrade OT.

We still have a ton of holes. Mostly on defense. Without a defense, this team is going nowhere.

I stopped watching the slaughter in the 4th but i read that KSmith hurt his knee and it looked bad? Anyone see this?

Yeah, I had to turn the channel. I couldn't stand seeing it. It looked bad. They had to cart him off the field. Our seasons already over. Stafford hurt, Pettigrew hurt, half our defense hurt, now KSmith out. UGH!!!

I just read (dont have the source sorry) that the injury is very significant and that next years training camp and start of season are in jeopardy.

Pretty much a worst case scenario

To bad he got injured and i feel sorry for him but we need to draft a better running back next year or sign one,kevin smith is not going to take us to the promised land.

I never ever said our rush defense was good. I said it's average. We were ranked 17 or something in rush defense whereas we are ranked 32 in pass defense. Big difference. Kevin Smith hurt, pretty much means that we will be drafting a RB or signing one of the FA RB's. I doubt that they'll let Morrice Morris take over as the starting RB to begin the season.
