Confidence is what all Detroit Lions fans felt as they prepared for the Thanksgiving game against the Minnesota Vikings to decide the leader of the NFC North. “ they are a team with potential and they're probably going to make the playoffs but not go very far if they do make playoffs.” Niko George said. “The lions are not that good because they have no offensive line to have matthew stafford have enough time to throw the ball.” Michael George said. “The lions are a very good team with Matthew Stafford throwing the ball.” Michael Pyevich said. “The Detroit Lions are a decent team because they 6 wins and 4 losses.” Nicolas Elias said. the Vikings, who had lost to the Detroit Lions in overtime 22 - 16 They've had time to improve …show more content…
The Vikings defense don't have to worry about the receiver core because Marvin Jones jr. and Golden Tate will be covered by Trae Waynes and Xavier Rhodes but they have to worry about Theo Riddick because he can do some serious damage to the defensive line on the Vikings.” George said. “Minnesota has a great defense because of their cornerbacks Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and safety Harrison Smith are having a good year.” George said.
“The Vikings has one of the better defenses in the league.” Pyevich said. the Lions defense Has good players on the Squad and good Zone / man coverage But a problem with the Lions defense is speed because their safety Glover Quin won't be fast enough to cover Stefon Diggs, a receiver on Minnesota. “I don't think they'll be able to stop Sam Bradford and Stefon Diggs. Sam Bradford's going to have to throw the long ball and work on his passing more to be able to get past from the Lions defense.” George said. “No because Glover Quin and DeAndre Levy cannot contain the Vikings offensive because they can't catch up with the Vikings wide receivers.” George

“Not having the starting quarterback this a big deal because they're not going to function well and running the ball but Sam Bradford is showing that he is decent but not the best but if Teddy Bridgewater was in the game he would be able to run and find the Gap store in the Lions defense.” George said.
“The Vikings injuries affect the roster because Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater are their best players and they are injured.” George said.
“The injuries are a big effect if they don't have their starting running back in end up starting linebacker in but they could probably get past as they find the gaps through the defensive line and linebacker core.” George said. “ the injuries will also affect the line speak also because Matthew Stafford the best offensive playe, rcan get injured and DeAndre Levy also it is their best defensive player.” George said.

    Andy Dalton and the Bengals handled business, winning their sixth game in a row, 34-21 over the Bills. Despite, A.J Green and Tyler Eifert being held in check, the offense came through, showing just how deep this team is. Marvin Jones is the teams’ fifth target, behind Green, Eifert, Giovanni Bernard, and Jeremy Hill. On any other team Jones would be a solid number three or two option.…

    As we get through OTA's and begin yet another preseason in Tampa Bay, we believe we have the right guys in place on defense. With the acquisitions of Vinny Curry, J.P.P., Mitch Unrein, and Beau Allen added to the defensive line, it adds the depth we have not had in a long time! The line will consist of Gerald McCoy and Vita Vea mainly at the DT position, with Unrein and Allen likely as reserves, but those two, just might end up playing a bigger role than anyone thinks!…

Last season in 16 games, Edelman had 91 receptions, 1,106 receiving yards, and 3 touchdowns.…

    With the Detroit Lions' playoff hopes in the rear-view mirror, there is little motivation to continue watching their free fall into NFL irrelevancy. We may not often win, but it's the small victories from solid individual performances that keep our attention. Ameer Abdullah was one of the few players inspiring hope for the future after the first four weeks of the season, but with the good comes the bad. One of the most disheartening aspect of the blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals was our rookie running back’s habitual inability to hold on to the football. Lost in the pandemonium after Sunday’s debacle, most seemed to overlook Ameer’s defects and placed their dissatisfaction elsewhere.…
