I was quite impressed. Perhaps the KC juggernaut ain't what it was either?
Maybe. But the Lions do have some good, young core players; St. Brown, Hutchinson, LaPorta looked impressive for his first pro game.

Back from vacay, saw our typical going into week one injury circus come to light again.
banged up just in time for week one every year.

I just can't understand how guys around the league are treated like sissies all training camp and preseason and somehow get injured in time for week one all the time. If we have neither Smith OL tonight (or they are liabilities due to the injuries) we will have a potential real serious problem moving the ball and scoring. Giants back 7 is not very good but their front is pretty good on paper.

We also might be missing both starting safeties as well as key backup DE Sam Williams.

Their DEs are capable of giving us problems and they were in the top 5 of blitzing teams last year mainly as a coverup for their weaker secondary as dbair points out. I'm still worried about them in general and this game in specific.

BUT... I'm still going Dallas 30-13 because nobody has book on our new offense and tendencies, I like our receiver room, and I think our D is gonna be too much for a lot of teams especially this one.

It's gonna be what it is.
