OT: Lions-Saints Playoff Game Open Thread
OK, this other games sucks, so get all your positive Lion talk in now, since not being able to hold a 2nd string QB to under 40 has probably killed any chance of seeing the Lions win their second playoff game in most of our lifetimes. At least I'm not still in New Orleans for it.

January 7th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Thanks!
January 7th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^

January 7th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
NBC Sports is streaming it as well:
January 7th, 2012 at 7:27 PM ^
Hopefully I get to sing, " Forward down the field" multiple times in front of my Chicago relatives tonight. Regardless of what happens its been a great season, having said that GO LIONS!!!!
January 7th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
Fight songs in professional sports are very akward. It doesn't really help that Lions have an extremely cheesy one.
Having said that, JUST WIN BABY!
I believe.
January 7th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
Oh I never said the song was good, nor is my rendition of it, but that's not going to stop me from singing it lol.
January 7th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
My condolences go out to your family for having to hear it. ;)
Go Leos!
January 7th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
but damn, you have some trust in your team. I know, I know Nawlins' and home-field advantage but hell you guys are talented enough to keep up with them.
P.S. Need Lions to win or lose by less than 11 to win my league pick'em :)
January 7th, 2012 at 8:03 PM ^
They'll cover
January 7th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
I do think NO wins, but I think it'll be closer than many expect. If Detroit can limit the dumb penalties, but still keep their intensity, the game will be close at the 2 minute warning. Whetther that's the 1st half or the 2nd depends on the secondary (I'm looking at you Eric Wright).
January 7th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Need a huge game from Suh and the Dline to keep Brees uncomfortable. Lions 35 - Saints 27
January 7th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
Just throw the damn ball to Megatron.
GO LIONS!!!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
Go down swingin'
January 7th, 2012 at 7:43 PM ^
Lions were missing a lot of key contributors in the first meeting. I think this game is going to be very close, and much more competitive.
January 7th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
The lions have this. If they didnt play stupid the first time we would have won
January 7th, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
First playoff appearance since 1999. I'm going to enjoy every moment of this, no matter the score. GO LIONS!!!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:01 PM ^
Just for the lack of black leather.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
Hello:Louis Delmas
January 7th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
WE GON' SHOCK THE WORLD!!!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
Adrian Arrington active for NO
January 7th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
All that passing spread crap will never work in the NFL.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
Just heard that...go lions. But if the saints do score, let it be Arrington.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
You know this game means a lot for the city when my mom calls to ask if I'm watching.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
January 7th, 2012 at 8:09 PM ^
Adrian Arrington gets the start!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
Looks like Arrington's gonna get some shine tonight. I hope he has a good game, but not too good of one.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
Let's just do that all night.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
Keeping that in the mix will keep the defense in check.
MEGATRON! Loving the execution.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Come on. Can't make such stupid mistakes.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
First stupid penalty of the game... luckily it doesn't hurt us. Titus Young big on this first drive
January 7th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Titus Young has swag.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
Love what I've seen this year. He's looked like a rookie a couple of times but he definitely has the skills
January 7th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
Great to have an extra option to throw to.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
Will Heller! Third TE for the TD!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
This first drive is going well!
Titus Young getting a drive to shine here!
...and Heller gets the TD! Great start!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:15 PM ^
MARCHING DOWN THE FIELD WITH A TEAM THAT WILL BOT YIELD!!!!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:16 PM ^
That was a huge drive on the road, and in tough environment. We look confident, and that dome is much more quiet now.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:16 PM ^
Stafford looked like a seasoned vet on that drive.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:17 PM ^
Great first drive!!! Go Lions!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:19 PM ^
I am so fricking impressed with Titus Young. He's got major game
January 7th, 2012 at 8:20 PM ^
would be really nice right now.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
I'll take a fumble from Colston
January 7th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
Funny you should mention that...
January 7th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
Fumble it is!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
Ugh. I like Darren Sproles. Don't like him running all over us, though.
January 7th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
This all just looks too easy for both teams
January 7th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
There we go baby!
January 7th, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
We're in for a shoot out folks.
EDIT: And as soon as I say that, Colston fumbles! And the Lions got it back! Wow!
