I like to think of it as "The Saints haven't lost at home".

Just so you know the Lions have NEVER lost to the Saints in 2012.

Slomo- I am worried about this game. You have a good defense, good d-front, very good qb, and look at megatron. Very dangerous team. This is not an easy game for us, and I am biting my nails with you guys coming to the dome!!

I hope that this game is well officiated and neither team has to walk away feeling that any call (not legit) determined the outcome.

Well, in all honesty, we probably have a snowball's chance in hell of pulling this one out, but it's a chance and I don't think we Lions' fans know any better then to think we can win this one . . . this is going to be a great fricken' game if our boys can maintain their composure and not get blown out by Brees & Co . . . the over/under is 59 for crissake . . . I am getting excited, IDK what I'm going to do all day tommorrow waiting for opening kickoff . . .

go Lions.

They get a little c*ckier as game time nears.

No problem, Slo, we'll see ya'll in da Dome.

Better bring your dome nuts.

Except I started this thread yesterday, further away from game time then today . . . not c@cky, just invited to your board and enjoying your hospitality . . . and don't lump me in with the other Lions posters, if you don't mind . . . I'm an independent thinker and don't necessarily see eye to eye with a lot of them either . . .

go Lions.

Halo

Thanks for sharing SloMotion. The Lions/Saints game was one of the tougher matches we played this year. Had the Lions not "lost their cool" and committed countless penalties, it would have been a different game.

Since that game, the Saints defense has improved. You can look at the numbers and see our rank on pass defense, but honestly our offense yields so many points that opposing teams end up in a basketball game with us. If I were you I wouldn't read into the stats... just like I don't take the Lions game for granted.

Injury or no, the Lions defense will be facing a Saints offense where Drew Brees began to stand flat footed in the pocket for weeks, and a running game that got hotter as the season went on. The Saints offensive playcall has been outstanding. If the Lions double-team Jimmy Graham, the Saints have a stable of wide receivers, some you've never heard of, that are fast, tall and waiting to coast down the field.

The #1 problem I see with the Lions is total lack of discipline. I don't care how much ritalin the Lions take before this game, they simply DID NOT match up well with the Saints when it came to attitude. Saints defenders were tipping off players left and right and the Lions penalties were worthy of the hall of shame.

If the Lions cut the penalties out ENTIRELY and play disciplined, error free football, the Saints will have more than their hands full and could lose the game. Then again, that can happen any given Sunday and that's why this game is SERIOUS BUSINESS! Good Luck!

I agree with Halo and danno.

Slomo, talk to you Saturday night.
Enjoy New Orleans. Spend. Eat. Drink. Be merry.
It is a fun party city. Be careful.

I have to disagree with you about the Saints being c@cky. I love that they do not act up, showoff, etc. The media really does not give the Saints a lot of coverage.
Even after DB took the record last held by D.Marino, it was that night here and there on NFL Network and ESPN and the the next day, GONE!!!
I like that the Saints just win under the media radar. It is better that way.

Glad you stopped by here to post and are there in N.O. to support your team and our city.

Use something else. It's ours.
