Nowhere in that article does it say anyone is shocked or surprised that we're a road underdog. Did you even read the article?

Yeah, but it's only the 2.5 you typically get for being the home team, so what's that telling ya? It's a pretty even matchup from what I'm seeing ... .

0-3 on the road, we "should" be the underdogs in away games the rest of the season...

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions

Glad someone else mentioned Reggie because I'm real worried about him going off on Sunday. About Reggie: I'll always be dissappointed that we never let Reggie get 20+ carries per game and prove if he's an every down back or not. I think in his prime with us he could've been our Marshall Faulk. Sure hope Ingram is back. We need him vs Detroits front 7.

We couldn't help that, Reggie would never stay healthy here

If he got more than 10 carries a game with us he'd hurt his knee or ankle, it happened plenty of times.
