First of all, congratulations to the Lions for displaying Detroit so proudly in front of the world last Sunday. Let’s ride that high into our home crowd for sixty minutes Sunday.
With Calvin Johnson back, the Lions will be tempted to pass it tomorrow. However, check out these stats for the two teams that beat the Dolphins solidly this season:
#1 Bills 29, Miami 10
Buffalo ran 33 times and passed just 26. Meanwhile, Miami, without Knowshon Moreno who is lost for the year at running back, passed 49 times. Their QB is no Matt Stafford, a third year bro who was sacked four times.
#2 Chiefs 34, Dolphins 15
Kansas City passed just 25 times compared to 41 rushes, resulting in three passing TDs, two running TDs and over 100 yards. The pass will come, maybe some timely touchdowns, but ultimately, the run wore out the Dolphins. They passed 43 times and only ran 20, while also being sacked four times.
That’s our blueprint, Lions: sack their QB who will be passing often without his starting RB. And run the ball against their defense to wear them down – it’s proven to work. Reggie Bush is back with a bye week under his belt, and he’s going against his old team. We got Theo Riddick, too. BELIEVE IN JOIQUE BELL & THE RUNNING GAME.
GOOD LUCK LIONS
