Lions at Saints NFL Wildcard Playoffs Live Thread

by Kevin Nogle on Jan 7, 2012 7:45 PM EST in Non-Miami Dolphins Live Threads

After the Houston Texans opened the NFL Playoffs hosting the Cincinnati Bengals, the night cap tonight has the Detroit Lions at the New Orleans Saints. For the first time in league history, two quarterbacks who threw for 5,000 yards will face each other - and expect it to be a track meet tonight.

The Lions will be looking to utilize the Matt Stafford to Calvin Johnson connection, while the Saints will be using the Drew Brees to...well, anyone in a Saints jersey.

The Saints are 8-0 this season in the Superdome, and they have done it in dominating fashion, averaging 41.1 points per game in New Orleans, holding opponents to just 17.9.

This has the makings of a great game, if the Lions can keep up with New Orleans. Hopefully, they will at least keep it interesting.

Enjoy!

First!!!

And for all the late joiners, go to the last thread and see my comment on our next coach. I got the inside scoop!!!!

Even my wife thought that was great.

She says that to all the guys... lol

Dave I went back to the earlier post just to see what you wrote! haha

See Im worth something even if it is just a laugh

says your wife... lol

all the time

If the Lions upset the Saints, what will the media pundits have to say?

i think the lions(and their fans) are just glad to be "in" a playoff game, if they win it, there is gonna be a riot in detroit , lol

The lions absolutely have to generate exterior pass rush and help out their banged up secondary.

Do you think they can do this?

Lions I mean!

Calvin Johnson is a beast

he really is, him and A.Johnson

could you think if you had both

That would be nasty

This^^^

Lions looking good!

lions looked good on that drive, now we get to see if their defense can stop brees.

this will probably be a shootout

fumbleruski

Lions moving the ball again.

Stafford is good

Yes he is. Good to see him stay healthy this year

Who dat?! Megatron,

It pains me to say this but these two teams are so far ahead of us, we have a lot to grow

We are better defensively than these two teams

were not better than the Lions, not even close , there front 7 is way better

Their D-line is good, but so is ours

we dont have one man on our line to match up with SUH or Fairly

true there LBs our solid, but Danby and Burrnett are better

and Wake is better than any pass rusher they have

They run a 4-3 though, so their D-line plays different roles though

Yeah, I like Odrick alot

Twas a fumble

... and not a creature was stirring

only a alpha

... all naked thru the house.

lol

and you would be sliding down a pole not chimminy

Dancing around the pole instead, lol.

haha

well maybe not, all they have over us is a stud QB, above avg TE, and more than one good WR and more than one OLineman

Not much then... lol

lol

QB is the big thing

That hurts...

yeah toss up him and Rodgers, I dont know who I would take, I think I would take Rodgers , He is younger

I swear these officials will never learn to swallow the whistle on these potential fumble plays

Ed Hock-a-lou-qee..?

Imagine a one and out again for the saints lol

This is American football not Australian cricket....

lol

I ment for the playoffs

lol....

My 4year old daughter just came a ripped butt on me, I said you stink, she said thank you

she gets it from her momma

Her stink?

oh my wife , Hell yeah

stinkie pooh

the hungry eyes guy reminds me of Alpha !!

What?! Not one of the Ryan brothers?

nah Hungry eyes guy, or Buffalo Bill from Slience of the Lambs

lol

You laugh at yourself... lol

LOL

LOL yeah he's Alpha and you're the pretzel!

... don't be in your underwear in front of him?
