News » I’m going to be completely honest with you all

I very seriously considered not even making an open thread for this “Thursday Night Football” game. I would be shocked if this article got more than five comments tonight. And if it does Youth Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , it’s likely one person commenting six times to prove me wrong.The 1-6 Oakland Raiders are facing off against the 1-7 San Francisco 49ers. They’re trying to bill this game as “The Battle of the Bay” but it’s really more like The Battle of the Decay. No wait, I can do better than that. The Battle of the Bay Minus. Nope, not better. Hmmm. The Battle of the Nay. Fine, let’s go with that.The 49ers are already on their third-string quarterback, and it’s someone I’m certain you’ve never heard of before today. I’m being assured that Nick Mullens is not a fake name and is, indeed, an NFL quarterback. The good news for Mullens is that the Raiders have traded away all of their pass rushers Womens Taylor Decker Jersey , so he may be able to act like it’s practice out there.If you want to talk about this game—why? You’re more than welcome to in the comment section below, but if you want to talk about anything else, that’s cool, too. The Red Wings are on. I’m sure there are some good TV shows running these days, too. How about that “Walking Dead” episode? I can’t believe that scene with the zombies! (sorry, spoilers!) Enjoy some “football.”Bold prediction of the week: Lions offense rebounds for superb day against 49ers Last week was ugly. Let’s try not to focus on that and put our attention on the San Francisco 49ers for this week’s bold prediction of the week. Part of a season-long series, it will be exactly as the title indicates: one hot take every week about what will unfold on Sunday (or in this case http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/glover-quin-jersey-authentic , Thursday). Let’s check out this week’s prediction.Bold prediction of the week: Matthew Stafford throws for 3 TDs, no picks against 49ersLast week featured a Matthew Stafford who looked the way we expected rookie Sam Darnold to look on Monday night, throwing four picks in a brutal loss in the Lions’ season opener. After the game, New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee said “we knew (Stafford’s) signals; we knew everything,” prompting many Lions fans to go into a panicked frenzy. Contrary to popular belief, that doesn’t mean that it’s time to fire offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, or that head coach Matt Patricia’s tenure is doomed since he lost his first game. As Patricia explained in the postgame and Lee alluded to in his quote from ESPN http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/sylvester-williams-jersey-authentic , it was merely a thorough job done by the defense in film study and preparation for Week 1. Heading into Week 2, that means the offense is bound for a refresher. Unlike the Jets, San Francisco didn’t have an entire offseason to prepare for the Lions. In addition, after the big reveal about the Jets recognizing the offensive signals, there’s no doubt that Stafford and Cooter have made some adjustments to them over the past week. In whole, that means we can go into Sunday expecting the Lions offense to look a lot less like they did Monday night, and a lot more like the competent air raid we knew and loved in 2017. Even against a solid 49ers defense Womens Jarrad Davis Jersey , I think a refreshed and hungry Stafford comes out hot in Santa Clara and plays with a chip on his shoulder to the tune of three touchdowns and no interceptions. The offense shines and plays with confidence as they erase all of last week’s doubts in Week 2. Do you think that will happen, or will we see a repeat of the “Monday Night Football” meltdown? Let us know in the comments.
