  1. even with multiple OL out, I have zero confidence in our front four to get pressure without Spags having to dial up blitzes, unfortunately.

  3. If SCCJ doesn’t come out of the gates like a demon, I’ll start to doubt him.  But I feel like Goff is going to spend some time in the dirt.

  6. We haven’t gotten pressure consistently against a handful of back up o lines this year…

    Not sure it changes this week with that running game coming at us.

  8. Lions fan here. At this point I’m willing to grant the Chiefs a 21-0 win if we don’t actually have to play the game. I don’t care about the score. Just want to walk away without further injuries. 

  9. my actual non-cope angle for this game is that no RB runs on the Chiefs, see: at the peak of their powers Christian Saquon Henry; hell, see Etienne this past nightmare of a game (he’s a hell of a RB, whether people acknowledge that or not) in that regard, this would be my biggest non-injury red flag for this game, if we let them run all over the defense it means even one of the few things you could rely on is gone now

    this isn’t to say that we’re guaranteed to win even if we stop their default win run game, but at the very least it would turn a blowout game into a true 50-50 last team with the ball game and as far as I’m aware we’re 3-17 in those (the 17 being wins, I wrote it that way because that’s how it’s being presented in media, casual reminder you don’t hate mainstream dumbass talking points enough!)
