A Little Concern

Anything can happen in sports. The Saints losing this weekend to the Lions isn't one of them. WHO DAT!

I watched the replay as well. Neither our offense nor our defense played particularly well and we still walked away with a 14-point victory.

Here is Drew Brees' TD to interception ratio in the playoffs: 15 to 2.

15 to 2!!!! Everyone needs to chill. He is going to throw a minimum of 4 touchdown passes. We will score at least 38 points and there's no way the Lions will keep up.

JoanieNTX - that is some dedication there to re-run the game before tomorrow. Can you go talk to Greg Williams please.
I hope that it is not just hope on my part but I feel that there are some kids stepping up on the Saints defense since the last time Lions outing that ought to reduce some of the Lions effectiveness. Ok, the Lions too have some better personnel coming in.
So to tomorrow. May the Saints bring their A game and get this game over.

Good points Joanie. It would be idiotic to think the Lions are just going to roll over and hand us this game. I think they're capable of scoring, scoring fast, scoring from behind, defending, getting after the QB, and they're a good enough team to ruin our day. We've lost to worse teams than the Lions, and they can beat anybody on a good day. They're going to come out ready for a fight.

Fortunately, our coach and players have a habit of preparing, and being ready. Every guy in our locker room seems to have his head screwed on straight, and all our guys seem to have the character to get the job done.

All we can do is get in those seats and raise 7 levels of hell to keep our boys fired up, and to remind our opponent who's house they're visiting.

great to have you here... glad you found B&G.

That Saints team is not the same team on the field the last 4 weeks,

The Saints would have won game regardless of penalties or anything else. Yeah it might have been closer but we would have played it different in the 4th if the Lions had been breathing down our necks.

Yep, after we scored 31, we went into clock-kill.

We rushed 7 times and only passed twice, and that was with 7 minutes left in the game.

I saw it last night too Danno and you're right, we watered it down.

I am not angry at you Joanie. No one is.
I agree with x626x and others. The Saints can win this game.
Yes, Detriot is strong team.
Absolutely yes.
The Saints are well aware of where DetLions are the strongest and the weakest.
We can only trust the Saints will work it tomorrow as they have been for the past 8 weeks.
