If people start calling for Drews head like they are Seans we deserve to go back to the 1 to 2 win seasons we had almost every year before. Back then the only thing fun was the draft and we even screwed that up.

Re: Drew Brees

Having former Saints on the Lions defense that could offer insight into unsettling Brees may have had something to do with the loss...

Tyrunn Walker and Rafael Bush were good players that should still be wearing the fleur-de-lis...

Re: Drew Brees

I'm just glad the "Home TD Streak" is finally over. During that streak we've had too many games like this one - didn't show up at home, but hey since we can't win let's rack up yards and score a token TD at the end for the fantasy football dorks. Some of those games were blowouts where we should have given the backup QB some playing time, but no no those stats and records are more important.

Want to know what a real remarkable record/streak is? Tom Brady's 201 wins. That's one to go after.

And Brees is less than 150. It's not possible to catch that record.

Re: Drew Brees

I just feel that Brees losing a game like this at home to a team that scores points underscores the main fact that he's not Brady. Brady torched this team in 2014 and that lions defense was just as good as this year. You can say that Brees was unsettled but I cannot help but feel Brees has too many flaws to be in Brady and Manning's leagues.

I don't like this Brees but he's older so trust me when I say this. When we do get back to contending it's gonna be hell getting back to the sb. Playoff experience matters.

This is the kind of game that will get Brees disrespected. Sorry to say. I don't think the lions are that ferocious on defense. I feel that Brees is a shell of his former self. Don't come off with that crap next week "who says Brees is declining?" when he goes off against a bucs team that is not that great on defense and a division rival. It's when he plays these top defenses where his vulnerabilities are exposed.

I don't know. I was ticked at Ingram from the second play of the game.

2nd and 7. Drew dumped off to him in the flat. Ingram catches it, runs six and a half yards and stepped outta bounds to avoid taking the hit, from a frickin DB, short of the first down. Total wuss move. He shoulda put a shoulder down, hammered Glover and picked up that extra yard for a first down. I don't blame the whole game on him but that play did seem to typify the offensive fire for the rest of the game.

And yes he did have 5.3 yards per carry but 22 of those yards came on one play. The other six carries, he only managed 15 yards. He also caught 5 passes for only 16 yards.

The whole offensive unit didn't seem to have any fight in them till the 4th quarter. Linemen getting pushed around like they were on roller skates, receivers that weren't getting separation, running backs going down on the first contact... And the Lions aren't some defensive juggernaut. For the season, they're a below average defense any way you measure it. Giving up a 4.2 yards per carry and allowing over a 100 passer rating. The offense certainly didn't seem motivated.

Re: Drew Brees

Wtf? Brees threw some pics but I wouldn't blame the loss solely on him. And Ingram? The guy only had 7 runs because they abandoned the run game in the second quarter.

Cmon man. Get a grip.

It's not that easy. People always throw out trades. This isn't baseball. Player for player trades are very rare. There are multiple years of salary caps involved. They just aren't done.
