Hello and WHO DAT?!

I've been a Lions fan since 1983, been through it all, Barry, Barry's abrupt retirement, Matt Millen's lost decade, 0-16, and our climb back to respectability. It's been quite a ride, to say the least.

I was one of the Mods over at the Lions official boards when it opened back up at the start of the season. Being a mod seemed cool, until you do it.
I'm still there, but asked to have the mod duties removed from my account. I've been on a few Lions boards for hell, probable close to 15 years now.

A month ago, I had the extreme pleasure of not only visiting your wonderful city, but had the pleasure of seeing a game at the Superdome, and actually felt welcomed by 99.9% of the Saints fans. Although the score wasn't to my liking, I could not have asked for a better visiting fan experience.

I did have my once in a lifetime experience while there also...Lions sideline passes for pregame warmups. Absolutely AMAZING!!! If any of you were at that game, and saw a Lions fan in a Lions home #93 Kyle Vanden Bosch jersey, that was me...I was the only one in a KVB jersey.

I was condemned by Breesus Christ at the pregame, and heckled by the devil on my way out. It was all good!

What can I tell you about the Lions that you don't already know? I have no idea what you know, so let's start with a few things, and see if that generates questions.

The Lions have little to no run offense. I don't care how good or bad your run defense is, because we aren't going to run against you.

Because we have little to no run offense, we will run end arounds with our WR's, and screens to our RB's and TE's as our running game.

Stafford's confidence is at an all time high going into this game. I don't expect him to pass for 520 yards like last week, but he will get some yards and some TDs. Hopefully enough to make the ending of the game fun.

Megatron - non issue last game...can you do that twice?

Suh - Contrary to what the TMZSPN media reports, he is NOT out of control.

Fairley - Has been injured most of the season, but did get his first sack vs Brees.

Avril - Dude has been a stud all season for us. 11 sacks, 4 forced fumbles.

Special Teams a glaring weakness of this team. I'd rather them just punt it out of bounds than punt to sproles(or anyone else), we can't tackle.

What else do you want to know about the Lions? here's some quck hits from another post I made on a few other boards:

Last time we faced the saints:

Matt was in the middle of glove-gate
The NFL couldn't handle the Suh
We were without Houston
We were without Delmas
We were without Fairley in the second half (I think)


And we were still close, late in the game.
Stafford is ON FIRE since this game,(same as brees)
Their running back is on IR (why should we be the only one?)
They still have a ton of depth at RB though, and sproles scares me.
Jimmy Graham is a beast.

We have a shot, just my opinion.

Heart Prediction: 31-28, lions win on a last second something or other by someone.

Brain Prediction: 35-24, Saints win because they are scary good on offense.
