GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Well, if there's any team you want to play on the road in order to get your heads back on straight, it would be the Lions, who traditionally lose games they should win, at home (see Wk #5 vs Buffalo), .

It's gonna' be interesting though ... Detroit's defense is being touted as the next best thing since sliced bread, but they haven't really played anybody of note & the offense is seriously underperforming. New Orleans is going through a bit of a rough patch with some mediocre performances of their own, but coming off a win & a bye week, so maybe they turn it around, eh?

I'd like to think Detroit beats the Saints on a level playing field, but IDK ... I'm kinda' of the opinion if the Lions win this one (and there is a chance), it's more due to the Saints doldrums than the Lions actually being a team of destiny, .

Think for both teams it will be which version of them shows up, both teams have shown a Jekyll and Hyde mentality so far

We have not shown we can win on the road at all, championship teams win on the road

We beat the mighty Vikes and Bucs! Oh wait.........................

Look, I would be happy happy happy if the Saints got in the playoffs at 8-8. I believe they CAN turn it around and be better than that. They have enough talent. But, it's just hard to watch and get excited about this defense and Payton's refusal to have a balanced attack. Especially when the running game is doing so well and running the ball on offense is a struggling defenses best friend.

Re: We are in 2nd place after the bye week.

We're in 2nd because our division blows so bad. If not for a Saints-like kicker in Bengals clothing the leader of the South would be 3-3.

Atlanta already had their season (beating us) and are about to fade to the bottom with Tampa.

Tough games for South next week - ATL/BAL and CAR/GB.

Ours against Lions very hard, too.

Time to see if anyone wants to win this crappy division.

I feel worse.
At home, we barely beat a team that has been embarrassed twice and has one win

Yeah, well, since we aren't even at .500, the idea of a championship year seems a bit premature.

It sounds so easy when you put it like that, unfortunately for us as an SP led team, we have a complete melt down whenever we play a road game.
