Despise all spread offense based teams that play in domes.

Yea, what even worse is fans that think we should replicate it. Our team is set up to play some December football outdoors.

I don't see the Saints making it because they will have to go on the road. Though San Fran will be nice. But if they do make it o the Super Bowl it is a nice dome arena. That's why I am looking forward to the Super Bowl in NY. Lets see what football is really about.

What's the point of runningbacks in the NFC? Just throw the damn ball. No one can defend it there.

So far, this game has been what I expected with less scoring. I was thinking that it would be tied 21-21 at the half and end up Lions winning in the fourth quarter with a long drive.

Now that his MCL has been repaired maybe we will see something very good from him.

Boldin said in an interview on the radio that he was playing hurt all year long. Now that he's healed, I expect that he will be our BEAST in the playoffs.

Gutsy call to go for it on 4th and 1 with less than 90 seconds left in the half.

May be overturned

Will be

[Cville-Raven]

Omg Brees is so boring to watch. He's great and all, but all he does is throw these little wimpy passes 10 yards downfield.

[cobrajet]

I guess when Matt Stafford can stay healthy, he is a decent QB. He definitely took the "next step" this year.

Sometimes Drew Brees gets chased by angry men

[cobrajet]

Like that Ray Lewis quote, "Sometimes you get chased by angry men."

[cobrajet]

Wow Josh McDaniels to the Patriots.

[CapoRocky]

Let's see it's 14 to 10 now. If the Lions and the Saints both score 24 points, then my score prediction will come true.

[CapoRocky]

Ray Rice would have a great game against the Lions.

[Cville-Raven]

About time Brees started launching it.

[chesapeakeaviator]

Pretty impressed with the Lions D so far, actually...

[PuRock]

Ravens would never, ever go for it in that situation. The Saints do have the balls though.

[cobrajet]

Sean Payton has faith in his offense because he refuses to punt on anything 4th and one or less.

[JO_75]

Saints are heating up and it may be over lol.

Saints 24
Lions 14

[Natty Boh]

Great game so far. Not as much offense as I had anticipated to this point but more than enough to make it entertaining.

[cobrajet]

I think he will even do it against OUR defense.

That TD is all on the Lions' coach. He should have challenged that spot when they had NO stopped in their own end zone. It's not like the Lions had been stopping them.

Sean Peyton it seems calls even more deep balls when they are ahead a couple scores. He does not believe in running out the clock. Pedal to the metal, kind of guy.

[JO_75]

So with the way this is going, both 2 Seeds will know who they play and that the 1 Seed from each conference will either play the 4th or 5th Seed in each conference.

Texans vs Ravens, Steelers/Broncos vs Patriots; Saints vs 49ers, and Giants/Falcons vs Packers

[JO_75]

Beautiful catch by Calvin Johnson.

[JO_75]

That's close, it seems his knee goes down at the same exact time that the ball touches the goal post. Going to be close.

[cobrajet]

Too close to overturn

[JO_75]

Play stands as called, TD!

Saints 24
Lions 21

I'll admit it was close, I mean I know he hit the pylon with the ball but at the same time that's not getting it across the goal line. His knee was down and the ball never crossed the goal line, so actually it should have been 4th down.

[Bltravens]

Theres no way the Saints havent been called for a holding penalty yet. Brees gets 4+ seconds a snap and not a single holding penalty?
