You think he's going to know the playbook well enough and work with the team enough in two weeks to really make a difference? He's there just for depth in case of injury and maybe for next season . . . don't get me wrong, I watched the kid play at Wayne State and am pleased as punch we signed him, but I can't imagine him seeing much action in our first playoff game in 12yrs . . . unless he's a fast learner . . . wouldn't that be ironic if he came in and ran for 100yds on you guys?

go Lions.

He will know enough of the playbook, he could hit a open hole. And yes, possibly do some damage, he can run can't he?

Here's to a good game, should be fun. Wish I was there.

Honestly jokeray, we'll have to see. Lions will have to play flawless football AND no personal fouls and YES they do have a shot. Any team would on any given Sunday.

I was just SHOCKED at the attitude and personal fouls and I think the Saints are able to press the Lions buttons... don't think they won't try again tomorrow.
We'll see. Will be a great game to watch.

Definitely reason for concern
They really handed us the game. That is not to say we would not have stepped up anyway, but...

I was very confident last year, and I think Det is better. The difference is the dome

I was thinking the same thing about the LOINS'S penalties and I know they're thinking the same thing. I also don't like spending so much attention on MEGATRON and still giving up the same amount of yards to someone else. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE???? I think we will jump out fast and force a few of punts from LOINS and they will be in catch up mode after that so we may give up a lot of passing yards, but the lions will likely be playing desperate football come tomorrow!!!! LETS GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!

What is with the Bell love affair? The guy has been on 5 teams in 2 years and has 150 yards in his career. If he was any good we would've found a place for him or gotten something in return

He's a local boy and we don't have squat for a running back . . . everybody's hurt, we're just glad to be able to get a warm body on the roster at this point in the season . . .

go Lions.

I didn't know Wayne State had a football team and I live in Michigan.

. . . yeah, they even played for the DivII National Championship this season . . . came out of nowhere as the last seed in the playoffs . . . no BCS Series crap for DivII, they run a real playoffs, lol . . . used to have a heck of a fencing program there too . . .

go Lions.

I think at least every other game everyone and there mom has "had a bad feeling" for every game. I think we are a different and better team than the 2009 saints, and we have begun our stride. We are going to the Superbowl.
