Several good points Slo Mo!!

I notice you, (and I hope the Lions coaching staff do as well), didn't mention the Saints screen game. The Saints run the screen with Pierre Thomas better than any team in football. And as I am sure you are aware, the best play against a blitz is the screen.

The Saints also have 3 RBs that can run the ball well.Now that Brees has the passing record, I believe the Saints will run the ball more, especially if/when they get a lead.

I do believe the Lions D-line can & will be disuptive, but in the end, the Saints will win a close game.

41-38 Saints

. . . yeah, like all good 'homers' on the opposing teams site, I forget/omit pertinant details, hehe . . . but I have given props to the Saints short game on the Lions message board, it's just hard to search through the posts there. I'm hoping our D/Line can do some damage and I'll be watching the matchup with your All Pro O/L . . . that'll be the best part of the game for me, I love the O/L.

I'm really just hoping for a respectable showing and getting some postseason experience for the future, a win for the Lions is a serious longshot, but it's not impossible, just improbable. I just don't want to get blown out and/or embarrassed, which is not impossible either . . . ya'll know who "Aretha" is? . . . all's we want is some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for now, our championships are coming . . . bet.

go Lions.
