A 52-yard blunder by the secondary almost cost us three just before the half. Thankfully we blocked the attempt! Lions 7 SAINTS 24
Great penalty ( for us) cost Detroit! I can live with a FG there. Hopefully we'll go down and add seven. Lions 10 SAINTS 24
That drive stalled thanks to a bad snap. Thankfully the punt puts them at the 11. It's time for the defense to make their "every other" stop. :grin:
If the Saints D can force the Lions to spend 6 minutes for every Lions touchdown, and the Saints offense continues to score touchdowns in under every 6 minutes, the Saints win the game. That's the game plan.
A 10-0 3rd quarter and it's now a ball game. The offense blew an opportunity to get at least three on their first drive and the defense has ben smoked on three consecutive drives. I don't understand why some think our secondary is solid. These guys get torched non-stop. The D-line and LBers aren't any better. I sure wish we had a playmaker on defense. 12 turnovers in 12 games is weak! We rarely stop anybody.
I heard something the other day about the Saints, Packers, and Patriots. These were the three teams being discussed as possible Super Bowl champs. The Saints defense was ranked 25th which is horrible. Then they said the Packers and Patriots were 30th and 32nd. WOW!...so much for defense this season.
How many big plays will this secondary continue to give up tonight. Letting these guys hang around, not good. Saintslogo
