For the Sky is falling crowd

Besides some of the questionable calls the Lions kept pressure on Brees all day. Every NFL team knows that's how you neutralize our Offense. The Lions played physical football and we tend to cave to that type of play. Brees got beat up pretty bad in this game and it threw off our attack.
On the flip side we gave Stafford all day long to pick us apart.

Not hard to get to the location of a static QB who will go down with the pocket. I'd personally like to see Drew grow some legs and become more dynamic with respect to escaping the sack. Defenses don't even need to contain the ends, he's not escaping out of either side.

I quoted you in agreement, Railboss, not argument. Stafford escapes and that is the difference-maker.
