I like what the Lions are doing, I don't think the depth is there yet to really contend for a period of time or to really do much in the playoffs right now because of that. In 09 when we won, it took everyone we had, we were on our 5th & 6th CB's and had a lot of other injuries but our depth is what saw us through. Neither team is the same team that met in Dec.. The Lions have gotten healthier and they have gotten better. The Saints have some how stayed reasonably healthy all year long and have also gotten better both on defense and offense. If I were the Lions, I wouldn't expect to have the same success that they did earlier.

I think that the Lions counting on their D-Line to carry the load even with Shu, is going to be a disapointment. Delmas is indeed good but he can only cover one side of the field and we have 5 playmakers on the field at all times so unless Drew has a brain fart game and throws 4 INT's, I don't see us losing.

A lot of people think this is going to be a shootout. I'm not so sure. I see it as either a close hard fought game with us winning via our running game or, a blow out kind of game where we jump out early and run away with it or due to the aforementioned INT's by Drew, the Lions jump out early and run away with it. More likely, the first team to BLINK loses.

Oh, and BTW, we want Joique Bell back. LOL
