Det @ Phi - Afterthoughts

[DinkinFlicka]

Coming into the game with Detroit +6 and knowing that Dawkins and Sheppard were out I figured this to be a good bet. I really thought that it was the best bet of the week ATS. I guess I didn't take into account how bad the Lions defense is, and how Philly probably gameplanned to win a shootout. I still think Detroit has a decent front 4 and could get some stops against a Philly team that has struggled thus far. Offensively I am surprised Detroit only scored 21 considering the injuries Philly had. I didn't get to see the game so what was the difference? Who stepped up for Philly in the secondary or was it a matter of pass rush? Were the Eagles blitzing more/less/same as usual?

I didn't come in thinking Detroit was good because they were 2-0 and Philly sucks because they were 0-2. Honestly I think Philly is a Super Bowl contender, I just thought Detroit came in on a great day to get spotted 6. I don't know what to make of this game really, even after the fact. Of course it could just be one of those games that you can't see coming. It looked like gay pride day in Philly with those uniforms, maybe that threw them off.

Anything noteworthy from this game that anyone can add? How did they matchup to Roy, Megatron, Furrey, & McDonald? Did they use linebackers, DBs, zone?
