TNF Week 4 Detroit Lions @ GB Packers.

[Sivaro]

I have made several mistakes.

 

I started Aaron Jones and Musgrave

Have Josh Reynolds on my Bench

 

 Detroit is leading 14-3  starting 2nd Q

[Sivaro]

Detroit already have another FG and just intercepted Love near the goal line.

This is quickly getting out of hand.  If Jones is out there, they are going to need him now.  David Montgomery already has 1 TD, and just punched it in for his 2nd.

 

WOW.    24 -3  and plenty of time to go before half.

I like Josh Reynolds. The Lions have a very capable running game and  receiving corps including Laporta. If the Defense takes another step forward they can be competitive this year.

I have St. Brown and Gibbs rolling in this game. Not really liking the way this going. Was hoping for some Detroit playing catch up in the 2nd half

I benched Gibbs due to not getting enough touches. I don't think Dan Campbell trust a rookie with the rock. Watch he run for a 60 yard TD 😁

I have St Brown, yeah, this might be a running game by half time unless GB gets something going.  The pass rush is killing the pass game for the Packers.

Me to, I think he's going to have a good year

[Sivaro]

Amon Ra...  Showing his skillz

 

Laporta is really doing great too.   Detroit looks really good

David Montgomery is just crushing the hope of the Packers.  Busted one right up the gut for 12 yards.   The Packers are going to have to throw and keep throwing after the half to have any chance in this game.

Yea, probably a smart move. Gibbs is only going to get 5 to 8 carry’s a game, his value is in the passing game and it doesn’t look like they are going to need to pass a lot in the 2nd half. Who did you start over Gibbs?

 

[Sivaro]

Detroit in a blow out  -  going into the half.    27-3

Musgrave just went out of the game under the concussion protocol right before the half.   Unbelievable.

James Cook and Raheem Mostert are my starters. I'm concered Kamara won't be able to handle a full load this Sunday.

I heard he can take a full load

[Yoyo]

Lions ground and pound killing Goff output for me. 😟 Good for real football, bad for fantasy.

[mongrels84]

Musgrave was going to have a decent game too. Those other tight ends were getting peppered.

[Ramhock]

Monty on bench this week, started Pollard and Swifty.  Missed some points but feeling good going forward. 

[Butkus]

I think its time to start Monty regularly.....DET looks like it has a plan this year, particularly against lesser foes.

+1

That was actually my plan and execution until the injury.  i sat him like many thinking he'd get a soft reduced load at first upon return.  33 touches aint soft.  They are going to run his legs off.

I would say they are already very competive based on this year and the last 9 games of last year (a 10-3 record). They started the season off beating the defending SB champs (yes without Kelce).

They may not be the the level of DAL or SF, but until they play a team like that we won't really know. They play Dallas near the end of the season, next real tough opponent is probably the Ravens in a few weeks.
