I hate meeting a team that got blown out the week before. But it is the lions so it should be all good. Thinking we need a Lumpkins sighting for this game.

couldn't agree more... Jackson fumbled and just didn't look like he belonged on a NFL field last night.. I still think he's too small. And you can give me the Barry Sanders speech but Sanders had a thing called talent and lots of it.

Yeah the fact that Barry Sanders and Brandon Jackson are in that same sentence above is a huge disservice to #20... I know you're agreeing with me but yeah... he's not ready.
I want to see Lumpkin at #2, at least in running situations... 1/2 downs

Ya, I was just told once when I said Jackson was too small that so was Barry Sanders and I almost fell off my chair laughing. Lumpkin has shown me more in preseason that Jackson has in his career. Jackson should be used on 3rd downs like Tony Fisher was used.
IMHO, you never take a divisional foe lightly. They play their best game against division rivals. Plus the game is in that stupid dome.
Also, I wouldn't underestimate the Falcons. Working a few miles from their training camp, I have taken in a few practices and a scrimmage. They now have a coach who preaches tough, physical football. They are putting a lot of emphasis on the running game to protect Matt Ryan and they have jettisoned a lot of the older players that weren't producing. They could give us a game in Lambeau...shouldn't, but could.
Anyway, agree that it should be a win but it will be interesting to see if the Lions come out fired up to prove to the world that this past Sunday was a fluke and make a game of it.
Jackson isn't too small. He just runs with too much hesitation. He's fine breaking a tackle by one guy, but he dances in the backfield and then three guys are on him. It's his indecisiveness, not his size, that matters.
