Almost like Saints North, ain't it?

I have to admit I just loved what Jed did here. Taking nothing away from Austin Johnson, though, and it's also rumored we're gonna see Bigfoot this weekend wearing a #41 Saints jersey in Detroit.

To me CJ is the only difference maker. They have weapons, but we have never had an answer for top receivers like Johnson. He blew us up in the playoff game, but luckily they self-destructed.

Put Lewis on Tate, let the other DB's help with run support

All we need to know is that this is a road game & we have not won one since the playoffs.

I think you forgot whose defense Stafford is facing.

I think we all saw first-hand how beneficial it was to have Josh Gordon out.

That Gordonless team has only lost ONE game and is in FIRST place in the AFC North. They are proving to be a far more impressive team than what we thought they were coming into week two.

I think NOLA54 has made the best point.

THIS IS A ROAD GAME, REMEMBER!!!!!! - Gulp!

The media are already saying that Drew is going to struggle against the strong Lions D.

Hope we prove them wrong and get our first road game win but I think it will be tough!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Media hype ... they built their rep on the Giants (on MNF, which was this year's "SuperBowl" for Detroit, IMO), a Packer team without a game plan (that's gonna' smoke 'em in Dec, ), the NYJ & the Vikings ... IDK about you guys, but I'm expecting Brees & the Saints to put up a better showing than any of those teams, and even Carolina/Buffalo, the two mediocre franchises on the schedule that did manage to beat the Lions.

I'd honestly be surprised if the Lions (without Calvin) pulled this one off.

Depends on which defense boards the plane for Detroit - the 2012 or the 2013 version.

If it is the former, then the Lions have little to fear.
