Lions can not get there freak on either. the freak is out of the game

Top offense vs top defense.

Bottom defense vs bottom offense.

What could go wrong?

No need to look any further than these to see what the Saints needed to fix for down the stretch. Fix the turnovers and the points numbers will flip in a positive direction for both the offense and defense.

Budsdrinker

But he's still responsible for half of our takeaways which is depressing.

That's what I'm talking about, the tale of the tape ... stats don't lie!, .

And even with a horrible defense, these two are the priorities to fix...

Stats don't lie.....but I might.
