Week 13 - Lions @ Saints

[Blaming Brad]

Lions should win this one. Just take care of the ball...

[Strongbad]

Lions don't win this I bet they do not win the Division. This game will tell you it they are the same old Lions. And the fumble and penalty to start the game tells me they are heading that way. I sure hope I am wrong.

[26point2]

Lions playing pissed off.

  I have never been happier to see the Lions bounce back like this.  I remember 10 years back the lions being 6 and 2 and going 1 and 7 the 2nd half of the year and just eating the suck.    I think Dan is not going to let that happen.  But the fear lurks for every Lions fan.

   Never happier to see them shove out it in my face.  But at 53 I have the 1000 yard stare from being a die hard fan.   I need a few good years in a row to get me back baseline fan.

Pass Rush still looks shaky. That will be tough to overcome in the playoffs. Way to much time in 3rd and long.

the Lions have 5 weeks to fix their zone defenses because they have sucked at zones all season

I am 58, originally a yuper with my dad having been at the last championship but now I live near GB , so the thanksgiving game was a gut punch

Everytime you throw behind the line on 3rd down a puppy dies

Zone depends a lot on the pass rush. You play zone you better not give more than 3 or 3.5 seconds for the QB to pass.

Goffs dancing feet in the pocket are scaring me.

That made me feel better.

Was that PI on St Brown in the end zone. Looked like he was mugged.

[badnews3123]

Amon ra with a nice pass break up for the Saints.

Eh, looked mutual. They were both engaging for position.

it's a penalty if the Lions defenders do it but not the opponents

the coverages in the zones have not given the line a chance

[badnews3123]

Hopefully Ragnow injury isn’t too serious.

[badnews3123]

Kerby got away with one.

Zero pressure from front.

[26point2]

A lot of blood on the whites.

[26point2]

Lions aren't playing pissed off anymore.

[badnews3123]

So many stunts up front and they almost never work.

[Strongbad]

Lead cut in half. and with the way the O and D are playing the last 5 drive 10 points is not a safe lead
