PREGAME Pregame thread - Lions @ Rams

[Spider2YB]

We’ll have a plan for Hutchinson. McClendon will get help from backs and tight ends. Well chip him, double him, and run the ball right at him. I don’t think there will be a ton of snaps where McClendon is dealing with him one on one. Or Jackson if Hutchinson moves around.

Gibbs getting in space is what scares me. He can score from anywhere on the field. But he’s also **horrendous** in pass pro. We gotta make him pay in those situations. It will get him off the field.

Looks like Dirty Joseph might be back for this game. Too bad Higs is out.

Dirty for making a playoff late 4th quarter game saving tackle? 6’6” 255 lbs TE vs 5’11” string bean, maybe MS should re evaluate hospital throws?

NEW FLASH!

It was a perfectly legal tackle and still would be, he wasn’t fined

Get the eff over it ladies

GET
TO
GOFF

This will be key to the game. Get Goff off his spot and he's far less effective of a passer. But also, that Jamir Gibbs is dangerous as heck. He needs to be contained. I'm confident that Stafford and the offensive unit can move the ball and get points

 

[Steve808]

Lions are 2-1 against the Rams since the trade.

The 1 win was at SoFi and the 2 losses in Detroit

The Gibbs cycle since the bye.

TDs : 0-3-0-3-0-3

Let's hope the Rams can keep the cycle going.

I remember that missed PI on Nacua..... Today Nacua gets that call.

This is black and white, should have been 15 for hitting a defenseless player and discussion of potential disqualification for launching with helmet contact.

Can we put this to rest now?

 

[duanevalle22]

That's bad..... but not sure if it's a penalty.

I hate seeing images like that, since I've had two ACL reconstructions on my left knee.... My left leg is still 30% smaller than my right leg, not matter what I try. AFL (Atrophy For Life).

Stafford himself called Joseph dirty:

Stafford himself called Joseph dirty:

Accidents happen in the NFL. When you do it over and over it’s no longer an accident. Joseph has injured other players doing this similar chickenshit tactic. Then defending it by saying “he’s a dog. Always been a dog” rubs salt in the wound.

 

[Tumak61]

Win and we're in the playoffs. If we win against Lions we secure first playoff spot in NFC.

If that is the case:

Bring in a 3rd stringer and take a nice whack at his knee... make it look like you lost your balance...... at full speed

Put Nate Landman in as a eligible receiver and let him have a go at Joseph.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Fuck

This one has me worried.

If the Rams had handled the Panthers like they should have, I would be 110% confident.... Right now my confidence level for this game is a tad below k=2

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Lions are 2-1 against the Rams since the trade.

Time to even it out

Let's do this!

 

[kmramsfan]

I'm hoping that either Parkinson, Ferg or KW plows Joseph's ass over at full fucking speed and puts him in the tent for that hit on Higs.
Full on train wreck.

 

[Ramstien]

I agree with Stafford, Kirby is a dirty SOB.

Not to mention headhunting Stafford.

A lot of bullshit associated with the last two matchups. The good news is the Rams are clearly the better team(again). The Lions were the better team in ‘23 and opened a contender window. It’s already closing IMO and tbh they were never going to hoist a Lombardi with Goff at the helm anyway.

Despite a few ties to the Rams, it continues to boggle me why there’s a small contingency of Rams fans who root for the Lions “to do well.”

In the McVay era…the teams that have sent our Rams home for the season are Philadelphia, Detroit, Green Bay, New England and Atlanta. I don’t like that. My fandom automatically puts a target on these teams in terms of recency bias. I don’t like these teams. But y’all do you.
