I think losing Quay Walker is a MASSIVE loss vs this Detroit team.
No Walker or Hobbs... which hurts vs Gibbs. Hobbs isn't exactly Deion(or hell, Eric Stokes in coverage) but he's a physical slot. No Golden... or Reed(not that I expected him back). Wicks still hobbled.
Also being down LVN and Karl Brooks is a big blow. Hoping LVN would be healthier, not out.
We need Brinson to keep playing well. Stackhouse made some great plays vs the run last week.
I could see them winning, but I could also see this being like Thanksgiving two years ago where the Lions beat the Packers early and the Lions came out and just went Belt to... well, you know.
It's time for the NFC teams to start to separate from the rest of the league and thus far, it's been the Rams who've done so more than anyone.
The three pre-season favorites, GB, Philly and Det all look... just kinda 'meh,' so far.
Unless MLF trusts Love a bit more and the OL plays better;
Prediction Det 31-Packers 20
