Exactly. Can't sleep on Titus Young. He's been gaming for a while now as well as RB Mikel Leshoure. Detroit have some weapons other than Megatron who even when playing injured is a beast. Maybe we can get the coaches fighting on the sideline again and let them have their own in house distraction. Not that we'll need it.

The fact we're coming off such a short week worries me a little bit.

All said though if the Texans go to their house and play Texans Football we should come out 10 &1.

GO TEXANS!

I'm not feeling good about this game. The Texans will be tired and emotionally drained after the Jags. game. I just hope we can come out of this game injury free, especially with Suh's history. Texans - 17 Lions - 27.

The flip side of that is they're hanging tough with the good teams too.

They're in every game though (except for that Green Bay game, that was a 2012 season aberration if ever there was one.) and I think they can win Thursday. They may not. This was a bad time to play 5 tough quarters against a lousy opponent but they've responded well to wake up calls so maybe this works out for the best.

Don't worry, the defense should be well rested, they only played about 2 quarters.

Remember how they responded the last time they got schooled.

Not looking good for the Detroit Lions. They won't catch the Bulls sleep'n

Dude's apparently a punk

Lions coach Jim Schwartz announced Monday that Young would be inactive for Thursday's game because he put himself above the team during Sunday's loss to the Packers.

Young was benched for the team's final three plays against the Packers, causing a sideline argument between the team's wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.

Young was sent home from the facility on Monday. Schwartz says Young's behavior will determine when he returns to the team

Hmm, Watt adds to his sack and swat total and the overall defensive effort in this game despite Calvin Johnson is tremendous.

Kjax gets another pick stepping it up after a horrible showing against the Jags and while goose stepping towards the endzone, get's blindsided but luckily the fumble goes out of bounds.

Andre and Arian both go for over 100 yrds with a TD each.

I'm getting something about sparring jeans...wait, no, Lestar Jean. He scores on a long reception.

Casey and Graham make big plays and OD is..well OD.

Key Mart returns a kick off, or maybe it was a punt return. The crystal ball wasn't real clear on that.

Texans Feast on offense while we feast on Turkey Day!

Texans 46 - Lions 24

Is that a real crystal ball or just one of those funky aps for Android devices?

The thing I'm worried about is the short turnaround. While the Lions will be installing their game-plan on Wednesday, we'll be flying to Detroit.

Calvin Johnson's nuts are best in the NFL. True, we've gone up against quality wide outs this season, but Megatron is the best in the NFL. Like I said, he will get his but we have to make sure our stars have a big day as well. I think this has the potential to be another shoot out. I won't be surprised if Schaub throws 4 TD's in this game. It'll be tough and I still think we'll come out on the losing end simply because we'll be too tired.

Just skimming the Lions boards, with their opinion of Stafford, if our pass rush is working, we won't have to worry about Megatron.

It hasn't been working well. Our interior guys are getting some push but it's not consistent enough. JJ Watt is doing his job, but the outside guys like Barwin and Reed need to pick it up seriously. I would like to see Whitney Mercilus get more playing time this week.

[bshep86]

Hoping for a big win Thursday.

I pretty much invited all of my hometown over for Thanksgiving this year so they can watch a real team play ball... and to eat crab cakes of course.

27-13 is my prediction

WR Titus Young will be inactive for the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day home game against the Houston Texans after being sent home from the team's facility Monday. Young was benched for the team's final three plays during Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers, and head coach Jim Schwartz said the second-year wide receiver's actions during the game negatively affected the team. "It's your job to make the team happy," Schwartz said. "It's not the team's job to make you happy." Young lined up in the wrong spot on a second-down play in the red zone during the Packers game, and the Detroit News' Chris McCosky tweeted that Young will be inactive Thursday "largely because of his whining, pouting, sulking about not getting more balls thrown to him." Young has been starting since the season-ending knee injury to Nate Burleson last month, and is third on the Lions with 33 receptions for 383 yards and a team-high four touchdowns. His absence will mean increased snaps for rookie Ryan Broyles and recently-acquired veteran Mike Thomas.

Yeah, HOU-TEX, I saw that after I posted. What a waste of talent. There's gotta be something wrong between a man's ears when he's got the world by the tail and then acts like an ass, enough for his coach to bench him. What a waste but at least that's one more target our secondary doesn't have to worry about.

That's for darn sure. I've never understood why these cats basically just throw away tons of money by acting a fool. Like this Honey Badger guy from LSU. Dude would rather smoke dope than cash in. I don't get it, I reckon

Pass rush is what needs to make a cameo. You can't cover CJ. Too big and powerful and explosive. Have to hit Stafford. A lot.

It's the T.O effect. Has to be the center of the universe. Diva's like that make you really appreciate guys like AJ, Fitz, Calvin, ect..

I predict the d doubles and triples megatron, and shuts down the run game while getting some pressure. The offense however takes the week off and does just enough to get the w.

17-10 Texans

Money on the Texans, the Lions haven't won on thanksgiving for near on 10 years.

Lions D is good but there offense shouldn't put up points on our D which should be more motivated after last weeks debacle.
