00:00go the length of the field.
00:02You'd like to see that every time,
00:03but it's going to be a heightened
00:04sense of awareness and importance
00:07as you go into Thursday night's game.
00:09Two things stand out to me.
00:10We'll do more of this obviously
00:11tomorrow on game day,
00:12but two things stand out to me
00:13if the Lions are going to win this game.
00:15One, you said points on all or most drives.
00:18I also think they have to be long drives.
00:19Yeah, they need to be
00:21time-consuming.
00:22Yeah, eight plays, 10 plays, 12 plays
00:24because now the defense,
00:25which you don't want them playing too many snaps
00:27because they're depleted,
00:28can catch their breath.
00:29So it has to be scoring drives,
00:30but long scoring drives would be a huge key.
00:32And then the second one is turnovers.
00:35How do you get a tired defense off the field?
00:37You rip the ball out.
00:39And what does this defense still have?
00:41You start looking at the injury report.
00:43You start looking at too deep
00:44and you see all the red lines
00:45for question mark and questionable and IR.
00:49They still have their safety duo.
00:50They still have Branch.
00:51They still have Joseph.
00:52They're going to come downhill.
00:53They're going to make plays on the football.
00:55They're going to try to take it away
00:56via interception, forced fumble.
00:57You're going to need a takeaway.
00:58Carlton Davis.
00:59Good news.
01:00Fully participated at practice yesterday.
01:02Yeah, you're going to need a takeaway.
01:04Jordan loves.
01:04Good for it.
01:05When he throws it to you,
01:06catch it, secure it,
01:07and then go on an eight play drive,
01:09a 10 play drive,
01:10a time-consuming touchdown drive.
01:12If you pair those two things together,
01:13you will survive.
01:15What is a could survive?
01:17If you do those things,
01:18you will survive.
01:19If you get turnovers and possess the football,
01:21you will win this game at home
01:22and you'll do it without your full compliment on defense.
01:25If you don't do those things,
01:25it's going to be a sweat
01:27and you might lose.
01:27And this could be a key loss
01:29in the race for the one seed,
01:30which is why,
01:31for everybody who said last week,
01:33so boring.
01:36Hey.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Hey, guy.
01:38I got news for you.
01:38Careful what you ask for.
01:39I got news for you.
01:40You'll be sweating on Thursday night.
01:41Yeah.
01:43I mean, this is why,
01:44this is why the NFL,
01:46every single week,
01:47is so exciting.
01:48And this is why when you make a prediction
01:50of 14 and 3,
01:52or you adjust it,
01:52you go to 15 and 2,
01:53and some people have even said 16 and 1.
01:56Why it's so difficult to do.
01:59You do need some luck.
02:02And some of that luck can come in,
02:04you know, the way the ball bounces.
02:05And all of a sudden,
02:06hey, you win a game,
02:07maybe you shouldn't have won
02:07just because the ball bounced your way.
02:09Or it's you're just able to stay healthier
02:12than other teams.
02:14It just,
02:15hey, you're dealt with certain,
02:17you know, set of cards
02:17throughout the course of the season
02:19and you've got to find a way.
02:20And that's the way Dan Campbell has approached it.
02:22He hasn't shied away and said,
02:23oh, no, we're, you know, we,
02:25I have no idea what we're going to do in this game.
02:26No, they're putting together a game plan
02:28where they believe they're going to win this game.
02:30So what do we want to know from Lions fans?
02:31Concern level?
02:34Yeah, I want to know,
02:35are you concerned
02:36about the Green Bay Packers?
02:38We know even went healthy last year.
02:41This is a team that went to Green Bay and won.
02:43And then Green Bay came in here on Thanksgiving Day
02:46and put it on the Lions.
02:47I put a number on it.
02:481 to 10.
02:49We'll do it next.
02:4997-1.
