2011 NFL Season

Bring on Houston. Can't wait to be at the game next week.

lol Bungles. The Pats just got boned big time by this loss since they'll probably have to beat the Steelers and Ravens just to get to the SB. If Cincy had won they would have had a cupcake draw by comparison.

[Berober]

Thanks for stopping my accumulator at the first game Dalton :@

[VerbalPuke]

And this Saints/Lions games is turning out to be the shootout everybody figured.

I swear if the Lions had any semblance of a D they could be scary good.

[Boltstrikes]

With Delmas back, I'm not surprised Detroit has been able to shut down the Saints offense like this. Brees has done nothing but dink and dunk all night with Delmas doing a great job on Graham.

[VerbalPuke]

Not so much anymore, the Lions real D has showed up for the second half. Shitty tackling, no pass rush, every receiver is wide open, and the running game moving at will against our front four.

By the way, anybody that says the Lions front four is the strength of the team is full of shit. The front four is fucking overrated, completely and utterly overrated.

[gunnar hendershow]

Lions are regretting not capitalizing more in the first half. And why don't you challenge on that awful spot?

[naiwf]

Because Schwartz isn't a good coach?

Stafford to Megatron looks like some video game stuff on this drive.

[Dan]

If I was Lions coach I'd fire the rest of the WR corps, hire a fuck load of offensive linemen and just have Stafford throw to Megatron every play.

Fuck it, I'd put him in the D too, he'd catch one of these easy interception opportunities.

[VerbalPuke]

That would be stupid, the Lions WR corp is just fine.

The defense is the fucking problem, not the WR corps.

[Dan]

I wasn't being serious, joking about the play when he was in coverage by 3 guys, you hardly need anyone else.

[gunnar hendershow]

So many 4th down conversions. Lions had their chances to go up big though, they can't blame anyone but themselves if this score holds.

[VerbalPuke]

No question. We can't rely on the offense all freaking day, the Saints have not punted once in this game. That is horrible defensively that you can't cause a team to punt even once this long into the game. Sure they forced two fumbles, but it's almost dumb luck with the way the tackling has gone, not too mention that Drew Brees has a guy wide open on every play. This is fucking disappointing.

[Dan]

That's how you catch an interception Lions D.

[Your Mom]

Lions are falling apart. Too young. Maybe next year

[naiwf]

The Niners are next on the "one and done" playoff list thanks to Nawlins.

[VerbalPuke]

Well hell, we're going to lose but fuck, I am glad that our two best players came to play today.

[naiwf]

Why is Drew Brees throwing passes up 17 with less than 3 minutes to go? The Saints have gone to the Belichick/Brady school of tempting fate in meaningless situations.

[VerbalPuke]

Christ, I know the Saints are a great team, but christ do I hate to see us let them set post season records.

Either way, I like our future. I think the offense can compete with anybody though the running game needs work, and we could use a new body or two on the offensive line. On the other hand, the defense needs a whole lot of help. The secondary is really bad, the linebackers with the exception of Tulloch can't tackle, and the D-Line is completely overrated. Not only that, it's probably time to let Gunther Cunningham go and get a different scheme in town. They really need to emphasize defense this off-season (gee, don't I sound like a broken record?).

Could be worse though, having Stafford and Calvin should keep us in games for years to come. Just need to figure out how to not let teams run up hundreds of yards on us.

[Boltstrikes]

Sean Payton proving why he and Bill Belichick are the two best coaches in the NFL. So many times do I see teams get complacent when they are up by 10 points. Instead, they continue to wing it with Brees and it leads to a touchdown.

David Akers vs. Drew Brees should be fun to watch next week.
