How are we defending Megatron?

[Sunshinepacker]

we have had the opportunity for many added INT's, only to have them slip through the hands of our defenders....Like you said adam, they seem to bounce off of our guys this year.

Luckily the lions receivers seem to be in a giving mood lately (a few of Staffor's recent picks have been bobbled by WRs). Honestly, no defense can contain Calvin, the only thing that slows him down is their coach calling idiotic plays and Stafford being under too much pressure to wait for Calvin to clear the linebackers. You play with a safety deep and keep the corner off him and let him catch **** and dunk passes to tire him out while lulling Stafford into check downs. You let the Lions run the ball and complete short passes with the understanding that the longer a drive takes, the lower the probability that it will end in a TD.

This is the only way we can possibly stop Calvin Johnson.
It's the only way the Bears stopped and beat us, which let the Eagles stop us, and the Giants stop us.
And the Vikings stop us.

How do we stop #81. Play a recorded loop of Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits from loudspeakers mounted in the ***** end zone. I understand that worked in Iraq....

You dont stop him, just hope you can contain..

However, Shields when put on the top guy was having success..

Green from Bengals, even tho he did get a Td he didnt beat us..

Browns --Gordon, had 2 catches

Ravens top guy at the time Tory Smith 1 catch

So i am thinking Shields is put on him

Shields has allowed only nine receptions on 20 targeted passes in the last four games. These numbers are even more exceptional looking at who he was matched up against. A.J. Green, Torrey Smith and Josh Gordon have totaled 1,698 yards and eight touchdowns this year.

But this Sam Shields has a bad knee, has missed 2 games I think...... I hope he's the same Sam Shields as that Sam.
I am.

 

[Forget Favre]

Not only Meg but we should be worried about defending our QB no matter who it is.
Especially against Damyoukong, Sir!
Lions are dirty players.

Knee? I thought was hammy

It was shields hammy. Latest reports says he is expected to play vs the Lions.

As of right now, almost all betting lines have the Lions as a 6 1/2 point favorite.
