So the game was orignially supposed to be at 1 (or noon central), but because the Saints are so awesome and the Detroit Lions continue to confuse people, they moved the game to prime time. I'm perfectly fine with this development. As part of the diaspora Saints fans, it means I don't have to watch it on my computer and have a heart attack when the feed gets messed up.
Now this Suh guy....I haven't been able to figure out whether or not he is playing, he's appealing the decision by the NFL to suspend him for two games for STOMPING ON SOMEONES RIB CAGE after mind you, after he smashed that guys head into the ground a few times. So I don't know if that gives him the ability to play or what the deal is. Either way, I hope this guy doesn't play. Not because I dont think our lines can handle him, but because he's a bad example of a pro football player and what we should expect. Call it a job, a career, a calling, a profession or whatever. But at the end of the day it's an f-ing GAME and you should never actively try and hurt someone like that. That shit is not cool. And call it karma all you want about him getting into a car accident, but even as a Saints fan, I don't wish the man harm and I'm glad he's okay. But all that aside, that guy's a dick. And I would have no problem if Harper hit him so hard that HE bounced off the ground.
Stafford is one of the most dedicated QB's I've seen in the league in a long time (Aside from Breesus). Problem is though that his finger is injured and the Saints can smell weakness like a shark smells a drop of blood in water during Shark Week. So he might want to be careful. I don't know if he's aware of Gregg Williams, but Gregg's a sick mofo who can be diabolical when it comes to spotting weakess and exploiting it. Peyton's still on crutches, and I think he brings about four sets because I'm fairly certain he throws them at the line refs instead of challenge flags now. I mean, you can't get mad at a dude on crutches right? Especially those bionic looking crutches that he has. Our offensive line is going to have their work cut out for them as the Lion SOB's defense is rather impressive.
Brees, no interceptions today PLEASE. Let's see some more superman action like we saw last week. I need all of my recievers to get creative with it today and go out there and work these Lions like you're Romans in the Coliseum. Harper, these guys are tough so you can just go all out on them if you want. I know they're saying its a short week for the Saints...but to be honest, we really only played the Giants for the first two quarters and then were just kind of playing around after that, so its not THAT short of a week. And they're both at home, so theres no travel time that we have to account for. Graham, I would like to see several TD's followed by several dunking of the footballs over the goal post. It reminds us all that you're a basketball player too and we could use you on the Hornets should the need arise. Sprolio - go run your little heart out. I love the camera shots that highlight how short you are compared to an actual NFL football player. It reminds me of how I feel EVERYDAY.
The interesting thing about this game that should be noted is that these are both two cities that have relied on their football teams to get them through hard times. Now the Saints have done a bit better of a job than the Lions have over the past few years, but the Lions had a good run earlier this year. I hope that the Lions and the city of Detroit can find the same thing that the Saints and New Orleans have in each other and build from there. As a New Orleanian by heart, I can't not want that for them (sorry to all my Enligh major friends for the double negative).
Bless you boys and Geaux Saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!
