I would be nice to see us hungry for a change... and sustain it through a whole game.

Doesn't stay healthy in DET either, was out vs the Vikes ... Bell/Collins do his heavy lifting for him anyway,

. Bush'll wind up being the best RB for the Lions since Barry Sanders, if he isn't already.

I'm going with Lions 16 - Saints 9 for this one,

... lots of field goal action going on,

Could help or be mind games...

Hope it's "mind-games", Stafford is a wreck without Calvin,

Right where we belong.

0-3 on the road, we "should" be the underdogs in away games the rest of the season...

Glad someone else mentioned Reggie because I'm real worried about him going off on Sunday. About Reggie: I'll always be dissappointed that we never let Reggie get 20+ carries per game and prove if he's an every down back or not. I think in his prime with us he could've been our Marshall Faulk. Sure hope Ingram is back. We need him vs Detroits front 7.

We couldn't help that, Reggie would never stay healthy here

If he got more than 10 carries a game with us he'd hurt his knee or ankle, it happened plenty of times.
