    Big Game Hunting

    By TK,

    Greetings Humaniods.
    This week we're in either Motown, Detroit Rock City, or the Motor City depending on your tastes.  Today your 4-2 Washington Redskins, Defenders of the NFC East come to town to bag the 3-3 Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, due to the airlines moving my flight back tonight up two hours, this will probably be short, sweet, & incomplete as there's a travel delay warning from road construction back to the airport as well. So my halftime adjustment will be getting out of downtown Detroit so I can make it home tonight. 
     
    TARGET ACQUIRED 

     

    ANNOUNCEMENT OF INACTIVES
     
    DETROIT – The Washington Redskins have announced the following inactives and lineup changes for today’s game against the Detroit Lions:
     
    The Redskins declared the following players as inactive: 
    o   No. 2 QB Nate Sudfeld
    o   No. 19 WR Rashad Ross
    o   No. 35 CB Dashaun Phillips
    o   No. 45 S Josh Evans
    o   No. 60 OL Vinston Painter
    o   No. 72 DE Anthony Lanier II
    o   No. 86 TE Jordan Reed
     
    No. 85 Vernon Davis is expected to start in place of Reed at tight end.
     

     
    The biggest shocker there is Harris is active at WR at expense of Ross. Harris was activated from the Practice Squad earlier this week.
    Based off of the analysis & stats I had posted earlier this week here on the Blog, I expect the Lions to come out trying to establish the run while mixing in a few short passes on 2nd down or 3rd & long situations. They don't really throw deep a lot with Megatron retired nowadays. And they really haven't been able to get Golden Tate going out of the stable. 
     
    Today, I'm expecting a win. And I'm expecting Cousins to ball the eff out here in front of his friends & family. Don't get me wrong, I'm not fully sipping the Kool Aide yet. But I am close. A win here today will having me taking another swig of it though. Also, making their undefeated on the road return are the Championship White jersey & Burgundy pant combo. 

     
    And now, here's some words from Murf.
