Wait till next week: You heard it here first: The Lions will snap their losing streak next week against Washington. They showed some improvement Sunday, while the Redskins were unimpressive in a 9-6 victory over lowly St. Louis.

Guy could at least get the score right ...

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Point being we played soooo crappily (is that a word) that they've got Detroit thinking they can beat us.

No good can come of this...........

Except possibly an increase in the "fire" the Skins can bring to the table-I'm seeing this as a possible motivator-or at least I would think it should be.

Serv, we were all hoping the Rams game would be more than it was and hoping the Giants game would have been the motivator. The Lions are ripe. Stafford looked good a couple of times yesterday. This game concerns me.

We have beaten the Lions every single time they have ever come to Washington, but there have been instances in the recent past when they have upset us in Detroit.

We can probably squeak out a win if play like we did yesterday, but I think we need to take this game seriously. We can win the next four games handily, but we cannot have more of the same to do it.

Wouldn't be the first team we've seen use the Skins as a stepping stone to getting healthy

Skins better win this game or we'll be a bigger laughing stock that we've become of late (at least locally if not nationwide).

I hate to say it, but my Lock of the Week is Detroit +6.5. Not that we're going to lose, but we're going to win/lose another close, hard fought game that comes down to the wire. I'm thinking another 20-17 victory like last year.

EDIT: It should be noted I do not bet on the Skins, and would never bet against them.

I try to avoid having any Skins on my fantasy teams either. Makes for waaaay to much emotion on game day!

 

[The Burgundy Ghost]

The Skins have a history where they beat the Lions. I think they will win this one, but will they win by more than 6?

Man, that's a tough question.
