Taints are banged up, Lions have a chance

Good start. Apparently Swift can catch a pass.

Can't wait to watch this collapse!

Who's the Fox color guy today? He's good.

Jonathan Vilma?

Jonathan Vilma?

Idk, but bad color guys annoy me when I even notice them at all and he's made some decent observations.. like Hill coming at QB on 2nd & goal was basically a wasted down for the Saints.

Despite the crappy run defense, the defense has been okay. Have to stop giving up the big play

 

[phantomfoul88]

I spoke way too soon

I've always been a defender of Staff, but it might be time to start looking for a QB. He has an all-world arm, but after 12 seasons it's obvious that he's just not going to ever get better at everything else the postion calls for.

I guess they decided not to make the fake crowd noise realistic. Because there would have been a chorus of boos as the left the field for halftime.

Stafford's INT in the endzone really let the air out. A TD there might have gotten the momentum back. Also defense needs to be turned loose. They are getting scorched anyway, might as well take a shot at making some big plays now and then.

Same here, he's the best this town is ever seen (not saying a lot) but with this horrible defense and most likely a new HC/GM we're looking at another 2-3 years. It's hard to believe he's been here that long, didn't think I'd ever see the day a Detroit Lion was here that long.
