When the DBs were healthy, the Lions pretty much held Green Bay in check.

When the DBs started getting hurt, and the Lions were down to WR Rashied Davis playing CB, Aaron Rodgers started looking all World again.

Houston has been pretty awesome this year. Not sure if Aaron Berry/Alphonso Smith can really pick up that slack.

The Lions are deep on the D line, especially at DT, but a secondary that has definitely outperformed expectations is only 1 deep. C’mon boys, dig deep!!!

I mean he isnt Houston or delmas but he is better than Aaron berry. Over under on pi or holding penalty for berry on Colston I’ll set at 2

Lions have great depth at dt, not in the secondary. Bad time to play the saints.

Good luck Lions, you’re gonna need it.

Everybody who watches the Lions remembers Roy signalling first down like it was a big deal when they were losing by 3 or 4 TDs and he hadn’t done anything all game. I’m tired of it. He needs to step up. He looked great his rookie year but since then he really hasn’t done much except get burned, then use his speed to come back and catch the guy from behind and then get in the guy’s face and talk about the great tackle he made afterward. I actually think Spievey is the better all-around player.

My best bud is from Detroit. But this week will not be the end of the Lions free fall. At best they might get two more wins on the season. At least they’ve kept Stafford in one piece.

Delmas is one the leaders of the defense, so his presence will be especially missed.

You can run for miles against the Saints.

But ultimately it won’t be enough. Saints 34, Lions 24. You can write it down.
