Scorcher Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Portis was pitiful, all things considered. He couldn't even score a touchdown! Detroit has play makers, Johnson, Smith, and don't forget a QB from the SEC!!!!! He's only a Rookie but he is going to smoke the Redskins "D".

He's only a Rookie but he is going to smoke the Redskins "D".  id have to agree that this one looks ripe for the lions....a good shot at ending the skid  although i didnt see skins/rams game...i dunno how pitiful portis is yet....everything im reading from scouts and guys with a good pulse on the league say that hes still running hard and isnt showing any signs of age/wear and tear(and im not talking about preseason reports...im still reading stuff like this as of today)....most of his problems revolve on the things going on around him  i know portis is way too professional and always plays hard....so it really doesnt matter...but i almost wonder if zorn getting canned early would help...i dont think portis is too keen on zorn and im sure there are probably a few others there who feel the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I won't agree with that til I see Stafford learn to put some touch on the ball. Every throw is rifled with quite a few missed oppurtunites because of it. Hopefully he'll learn something he should already know, until then I'm not jumping on a bandwagon for him. If there ever was a team as a thorn in our side, it's the Redskins.

Plus you're talking to the guy who had to listen to how long it;s been since we beat the Redskins from my cousin in Maryland. Hang on Snoopy , sloopy, whatever the hell it was, was the #1 song. . Yes we finally beat them 4-5 yrs ago I think. I also remember playing them the 1st game of the season in 91, got our ass's handed to us. We go 12-4, face em in the championship game and still got our ass's handed to us again. Our history against the Skins is very poor, if not pathetic, is mainly my point. I'd love to win, but I'm in no way betting on it. Stafford has quite aways to go yet, and I don't think he's anywhere as good as Campbell, yet. Us Lions fans are die hard hopefuls, don't ask why, even we don't know. Until I see more, I'm not sure we'll get that win. I still remember clear as day as I was in Washington, and Scott Mitchell handing the Redskins the game with a piss poor interception thrown right to the db.

Campbell may be out, Detroit "D" gets a lot less credit because of the offense. Detroit wins and hands the Redskins their a#$ses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Last season the Lions has arguably THE worst defense in NFL history... no joke look it up. Â The defense is still bad, and Stafford would rather throw downfield for an INT than a short pass for a first down.

STL Fan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Last week Washington moved the ball up and down the field repeatedly, and possessed the ball inside the Rams 10 yard line four times, only to come away with three field goals. Zorn has been defending the horrible coaching and play calls in the red zone all week. I say this just to point out that Washington really should have pounded the Rams based on how well they moved the ball. Â If they learn from their red zone mistakes, Detroit is in trouble. If not (and there is a chance they won't based on Zorn's comments) Detroit could pull the upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinalTapp Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 All week, the Redskins faithful have been KILLING the team for their inability to route the Rams. The fans and many players treated the Rams win almost like a loss - the 9-7 final score was humiliating. Many have questioned the players, the coaches, the organization, and Danny-boy. If ever the team was going to be laser focused, with a single purpose to not only win a game but to bury an opponent, it is this week for the Skins vs the Lions. No team has more motivation (after getting booed in their own stadium during a winning effort) to show what they can truly be as a team - were they just victims of bad luck (two awful dropped passes in the end zone) or is the 9-7 score truly indicative of their talent and skill level? If you think the Skins are better than the 9-7 score...go to Vegas and take them and the points. If you believe Zorn is a idiot who calls halfback passes on third down at the five yard line (when no linebacker or safety is going to bite on the run)....then take the Lions and the points. Â I believe the Skins DST is way to good to allow them to lose this game to the Lions. The offense will put up more points this week because their backs are against the wall and they have to produce - literally, careers are on the line this Sunday. Â Take the Skins and the points.

masterwing Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 halfback passes on third down at the five yard line (when no linebacker or safety is going to bite on the run)..... I  yeah, wait-what? I agree. Just run the play you practice. And not that one. The other one. The simple one. The one that might have had a LITTLE better chance of getting in the da mn red zone.  " Oh wait, were supposed to go into the redzone and keep going? ooooooohhhhhhhhh I see now.
