Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
I thought it was a given that SJB was going to be a project when we drafted him. He had the physical ability but lacked NFL technique.
(I could be misremembering things) |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
Thats true, its just a bit disappointing that he's seen zero playing time. I would have thought he'd see at least a little playing time in certain packages.

I have the inside info. FYI Payton gave the games away early. It is all part of his plan, just wait and see. |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
hard to say about SJB. we knew how raw he was.
Powell is all about injuries IMO. well at least i hope that is it. i hope it is not an inability to grasp the playbook If both do not cut it that is grounds to lock Ryan out of the office on draft day or show him the door my greatest fear on defense was we were drafting based on upside way to much not so much can the kid stay on the field and can he play football. these two i can play the wait and see game. but they need to see the field and get some playing time under their belt. |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
Didn't read the article......but just the title alone is sorta funny.
As if that should be earth-shattering news. The Saints, who haven't won a regular season road game since Macy's was getting ready for a parade last year, going on the road to Detroit.....a team with 2 more wins than the Saints............and yet it's somehow news that the Saints would be underdogs. To be honest, I think it's disrespectful that Detroit isn't even getting the full 3 point HFA line, last I checked (-2 or - 2 1/2, depending on where you look). However....Saints will win this one. This is one of those "S--- or get off the pot" moments in the season. They have a brutal schedule going forward, and still have yet to win a road game.....this just sorta seems like the week. I'd hate to see what 2-4 looks like with that stretch of games they're about to have. |

This is a very winnable game for the Saints. If I had a nickel for every time the Lions lost a game they shoulda' won (and they should win this one if we are to believe the hype) in front of the home crowd, I'd be owning the Lions franchise right about now, ... bet. |
