Week 3 - Cardinals Defense or Lions Defense

Speedy88 · 09-21-12, 02:03 AM

Cardinals DST. They have looked good this season. And Vick and company have been turning the ball over like crazy. Eagles O-line is beat up, no Dunlap, possibly no Maclin on the outside. Eagles will be very thin on Sunday. Vick will be running for his life.

Kind of get the feeling this will be the game that Vick gets knocked out. Don't forget Kolb has all the inside information on the Eagles offense. AZ will be ready. It's always nice when you have Patrick Peterson on your special teams too.

Anyone else?

Kelce and Dunlap are out, so is Maclin. That is 40% of their O-line, and Vick's favorite target. If Peterson can shut down DeSean Jackson (which I think he will), the Eagles offense may have some trouble moving the ball down field.

I'm already leaning with the Cardinals Defense, since I picked up already, and your making it look even better.

I just want to hear some arguments for the Lions Defense.

I'm playing the guy that dropped the Lions Defense. He picked up the Falcons Defense. It would be cool for the Lions Defense to bite him in the ass.

Bills Defense was picked up. Didn't want them anyway.

The Lions secondary is so depleted that I dont think I'd feel comfortable until they get some guys back.

Mikail · 09-22-12, 11:01 PM

I am biased yes but I do think the Eagles offense goes off tomorrow. I'd take the Lions. Sounds like you made your mind up already though.

Cardinals defense for sure good sir!

Cards are a dark horse I've said this in a few posts now. Week 3 I still believe they're underrated for DST but I expect that to change soon enough. Aside from turn overs and TD return possibilities for AZ, if Vick wants to run that spells more sack opportunities.

Detriot is facing a horrid team in the Titans and I expect them to light it up on offense. Unfortunately they're also giving up over 4 ypc so if Chris Johnson has a bounce back opportunity, Detroit is a good match up.

Go Cards.

Cardinals Defense saved my day. Won my match-up 169.25-162.40.

Good advice.

I would have gone with the Lions and that disaster.

As I stated, this Eagles team would really struggle w/o Maclin and 40% of their O-line. Maclin is Vick's go-to-guy, he is a chain mover. DeSean Jackson is really only good for the deep threat. And we all saw how bad the O-line looked without Kelce and Dunlap.

Glad you won your match onlooker. I'm just pissed I didn't work the waiver wire better. I wanted the Cards DST and Bears DST, but both got taken before me. I honestly didn't think anyone in my league was smart enough to take the Cards.

What a choice with that cardinals defense!

I already picked up the Cardinals Defense, but someone dropped the Lions Defense this week.

Thoughts?

Please vote above.

Get rid of that lousy Lions defense man..

Cards D also bailed me out. Made my decision to sit J. Charles less painful.

I don't have the Lions Defense.

Unless there are no other D's on waivers, I wouldn't waste a FA on an extra Defense. Arizona doesn't have a bye week till the 10th week.

They are legit, and will bring you points most weeks. I've picked them up in most of my leagues before the Philly game.

Cardinals D won me my matchup this week. Got less than 10 pts combined from a starting RB, WR and K spot which made the matchup closer than it should have been.
