The Lions are personally indebted to the Saints and referees for the early Christmas gifts in Sunday’s game.\u00a0 The ‘pass interference’ call on 4th down was truly a gift.\u00a0 And then, D. Brees avoiding a sack by putting the ball in play for an easy interception was unfathomable\u00a0 and\u00a0 beyond comprehension.\u00a0 Some kind of ‘Brain Fart’ is the only plausible explanation.<\/p>\n
Oh by the way, our vaunted defence only allowed 400yds of offence by New Orleans. Stupid penalties arrived on schedule at inopportune times as usual.\u00a0 At least Suh played a civilized game.<\/p>\n
Golden Tate was a Lion’s bright spot in an otherwise dull game until the last few minutes.\u00a0 Maybe, just maybe, when C. Johnson returns the Lion’s pass threat will be more than a one player act.\u00a0 It also could allow R. Bush to be more productive.\u00a0 Stafford needs to permanently upgrade to his version 2.0 and banish version 1.0 to the dustbin.<\/p>\n
Even with everyone up and running, the secondary is still the Lion’s ‘Achilles heal’.\u00a0 Our latest ‘kicker’ almost earned a one way ticket back to oblivion.\u00a0 Give him a pass for a case of the ‘jitters’ and hope for the best.<\/p>\n
Maybe a 11-5 record is as feasible as an 8-8 season.\u00a0 Only time will tell.\u00a0 Just remember, we’ve all been here before and have a fan’s duty to remain sceptical.<\/p>\n
