Looking first at our Lions, who just had their season opener yesterday at Ford Field
0:05
They topped the Saints. It was the end result I expected, just not necessarily the path I expected it to take us
0:11
As the Lions get the win, 31-30 in overtime, thanks to a two-point conversion stop in OT
0:20
Guys, let's talk about exactly what we saw on the field in that Lions win
0:24
We'll address the offense first. it wasn't up to the caliber I expected this week one offense to be at, but it's nothing I'm super
0:32
concerned about. Not waving any flags, not throwing up any alarms right now. I think there's always a
0:38
few kinks that can be worked out as the season progresses, and there's nothing that leads me to
0:42
believe the Lions won't figure it out as the year goes on. Wasn't a terrible performance, wouldn't
0:47
compare it to the week one performance out of Michigan. Just left a little bit to be desired
0:52
like to see them clean it up they'll have to against Buffalo but also let's talk about this
0:56
team's defense because I expected this team to give up about 20 to 30 points they were a little
1:01
over that that coming in overtime however but you look at that first half especially out of the D of
1:07
Detroit I really liked what I saw the defense looks very very competent we know that the
1:13
secondary is banged up practically non-existent due to injuries but they held their own in the
1:18
first half. I just think in the second half and overtime, they got gassed. They're going to have
1:23
to put in a lot of work though against the Bills who have their own struggles week one as well
1:27
That's what comes with week one in the NFL. You don't know necessarily who's going to be good and
1:32
bad. You have your predictions. You just take a little bit of time to see how these teams pan out
1:37
as the year goes on. It's going to be a tough matchup on Thursday, but at the end of the day
1:42
the Lions did what they had to do on Sunday. They got the win over the Saints. They start their
