Toilet Bowl '09: Browns vs. Lions
-
no joke, my defense this week is playing new england this week in fantasy and i picked up the lions. it hurts me to do it but come on, you all know it was a good move.

I like this game for many reasons. We are testing ourselves versus a weak but promising team. Some things i will be looking out for.
* Can Quinn move the chain forward now that our OL will buy him some time to throw the ball ?
* Can the receivers and/or TE's get separation and catch the ball ?
* Can any of our RB's not named JL get a 100 yard game ?
* Are we going to see successful throws that are beyond 10 yards (not even 20) ?
* Can we score a meaningful touchdown ?
These 7 questions will truly tell us the state of our offense. Did I miss any points ?

OUCH! Can't say I blame you though considering the Browns ability to score this year.
By looking at the stats and playmakers on both teams it seems Detroit has a slight edge but if the Browns D shows up and we don't have any pick - 6's (both big ifs!) against us I can see this ugly game ending in a 0-0 tie.

i've had detroits D as one of two D's for a while. They actually A- don't have HUGE blowouts all the time, and B- manage about 2-3 turnovers a game.
they aren't a terrible play. I also am starting them in one of my leagues (over Colts..playing Ravens).
also, my league figures return yards into team D (i dunno why), which makes Detroit a huge play. they get kicked-off to a lot.

17-3.
i like the games where we take the opening possesion and march down the field..... for a FG.
so we think, "eh, okay...we might do allright."
and then we do NOTHING offensively the rest of the game.

I've seen more of these games than I care to remember. The offense goes into hibernation until we are down 21-3. I wonder how many times this has happened in the past 3 years?

In all honesty, I cannot predict how this game will turn out. They've had a decently tough schedule themselves, outside of Seattle, Washington, and St. Louis. It's not as tough as ours was, but it's not a cupcake-athon, either. They have offensive playmakers, we do not. I think we can have a better defense performance though, if they play like they did last week. The only bright side I see is that this game SHOULD give Quinn a chance to actually drop back without being instantly pressured for once in his career. Hopefully that will give him some confidence.

even the Lions are gonna stack the box against us.......

Honestly, I'd rather watch a replay of one of those 1950's championship games between the Browns and Lions. You know, Otto Graham? Bobby Layne? Paul Brown? Dante Lavelli?
Hard to believe these 2 teams played for all the marbles 4 times in the 1950's.

I'm actually excited about watching this game. I'm picking Detroit 24-10. But I still think it's a more interesting game than some this week.
Kickoff in a few!
