We start the 2nd quarter with the Lions in the red zone, facing a HUGE 3rd and 8. In the past, this is where the Lions would normally settle for a FG.
Stafford under center...deep drop...throws off his back foot...it's Smith, 4 yards short of the sticks...makes a move...DIVES...he's just fucking short by a yard!ARRRRGH! I thought he had it!
Lions going for it? Apparently so! I like The Schwartz's thinking, as the Lions have nothing to lose, right?
TO Detroit. I guess they now want to talk about it...
Lions bunched up...Stafford fakes handoff to the FB, pitch to Smith left...NO ONE NEAR HIM! SMITH STRUTS INTO THE END ZONE! Wonderful damn call!
After the PAT, 14-10 Saints.
Hating life and the Lions a tad less...
You could hit me with a 2X4, and I wouldn't be anymore stunned. Lions are in the game, after going down 2 TD"s. This isn't Rod Marinelli's Lions...
Saints start at their 19, solid coverage by the Lions special teams... Fire Kwan?
Brees to Evans nets 8. Are the Saints pissed or stunned? They might be both.
Bell off tackle, gets 1. 3rd and short. Can the Lions' D get another stop?
No, they can't. Bell slashes thru the line for 5, and the 1st.
Brees back to throw...play called dead.Offsides on the Lions. Landon Cohen bit on the hard count. Fucking moron.
Saints continue to establish the run. Bell up the gut twice gets the 1st down, after a visit from the chain gang confirms it.
Brees handsoff to Bush...FLEA FLICKER...Brees steps up to avoid the rush, throws deep...
SHIT!!! HENDERSON IS OPEN BY A COUPLE OF STEPS...UNDERTHROWN!
PICK DETROIT! It's Anthony Henry! He brings it back to the Detroit 24!
The play worked, but Brees threw a bad pass. Credit Detroit for making a play!
Smith gets 6 up the gut.
Stafford back...Megatron has a step! Underthown! FUCK ME! 3rd and 4. A good pass has Johnson in the end zone.
Wide, deep handoff to Smith...he never had a chance.
Lions to punt. I DID NOT LIKE THAT FUCKING CALL, DAMMIT.
Bush with the return, is hit...BALLBALLBALL! Hell, Saints recover at their 35. Almost caught a break.,
Stafford's QB rating: 67.2.
Brees QB rating: 108.3.
Stafford is playing like a rookie in his first game.
SHIT! Bell finds a hole, into the secondary, gets 13 to the 48.
Brees to throw...TIP DRILL..ARRRGH! Delmas had the ball in his hands, couldn't hold on! Delmas continues the tradtion of heavy hitting Lions safeties with stone fucking hands.
Bell gets 9, hit HARD by Delmas. He's shaken up.
Brees rolls right...Henderson is open, get inside the 30. 1st down. Come on, make a play on D!
2 Bells runs have the Saints at the Detroit 23, 3rd and 5. Under 6:00 left in the 2nd,
Brees back...steps up...Shockey open in a middle seam, 1st and goal at the 10. Kill me now.
Bush is inside the 5 on a swing pass. Saints knocking on the door.
Bush between the tackles, Lions stuff him! 3rd and goal! A goal line stand in the making? Too much to ask, I know.
Detroit TO, 3:49 left.
I'll say this, last season the Lions go down 14-0, they roll over and get pasted. It didn't happen under The Schwartz.
Brees will throw...FUCK ME! Shockey was wide fucking open, easy toss for a TD. The Lions can't cover a TE? Some things never change, huh?
Delmas penalized for slapping the ball out of Shockey's hand after the TD. Dumb ass rookie mistake. Get a damn grip on your team, Schwartz!
21-10 NOLA.
Lions will start at their 20 after the touchback. 3:45 left in the half.
Stafford to the other Johnson on a slant, 2nd and 2. Clock running.
Smith on a sweep, gets the stick, 1st down. Clock still running.
Stafford to throw...looks downfield...SACK! Vilma was all over the rookie. Stafford had time to unload, may have held onto the ball too long.
NOLA TO. They want the ball back!
2nd and 17. Stafford to throw, has time...pocket starts to collapse...UNDETHROWN! Heller was open, dammit. Pressure affected the throw.
3rd and forever. 2:32 left.
Stafford drops...throws...PIC...NO! DROPPED! But it was damn near a turnover, Stafford with another very iffy throw.He's playing like a rookie, accuracy isn't there at all,
Bush calls for a fair catch at his own 40. 2:21 left. Lions D needs to step up here. I;\'m not confident they will...
Brees looking deep! Moore with the diving catch at the Detroit 39! SHITFUCK! So much for Detroit rallying from 14 down, the Saints looking to get both those scores back before the end of the half.
2 minute warning. Blood pressure warning as well.
Brees with 171 thru the air, on his way to a 300+ yard day.
2 Brees passes, and the Saints are at the 14, are in the no huddle.
Brees to throw again...Shockey is open in the back of the end zone...bobbled...hit...What is it? FUCK US ALL, it's TD Saints. Come on, Shockey was juggling the ball all the way down!
Wait, we have a booth review! Meh, even if it's overturned, it's just delaying the inevitable. Saints are going to score here, and the Lions can't do a fucking thing about it.
I knew it. I fucking knew it. Play stands as called. Saints up 28-10 with 1:10 left.
Shockey is just plain KILLING the Lions. Then again, ANYONE WHO BREATHES will KILL the Lions...
Lions will start at their 36. 1:03 left. The Lions are doing a good job of harshing my mellow.
Stafford to throw..Yes, it was underthrown again.
Stafford channels his inner Harrington, dumps it off to Smith for 5...he crawls out of bounds, stopping the clock.
Stafford to throw again...batted down at the line. You're killing me, Matt! Just killing me!
Saints to get the ball back with 40 something seconds left...
Bush to field the punt..BALLBALLBALL! GET ON THE MOTHERFUCKING BALL! LIONS RECOVER AT THE NOLA 15!
YES!!!
Fucking figures. False start, Backus. I hate that man.
Stafford back to pass...Looks for CJ at the 5....PICKPICKPICK! SHITSHIT!SHIT! It's brought all the way back over the 50! Flag?
You gotta be kidding me! Lions called for interfering with a ref on the sidelines. Only the God damn Lions could have that called against them. Only the Lions. Ball at the Lions 35.
2nd and 10, Cohen hits Brees in the a head with his forearm, personal foul. YOU FUCKING MORON! He knew it too, as he held his hands in the air, as if that's going to get the refs to hold on to the flag. Fucking dipshit.
Incomplete pass, Bush run, ball at the Lions 15, TO NOLA, 0:07 left. They'll kick the chip shot FG.
Carney to kick...BLOCKED! White with huge penetration up the middle! 0:01 left. Lions stay within...3 whole scores. whoo?
Lions take a knee to end the half. Saints leave the field leading 28-10.
The NFL is all about the quarterback, and this stat says it all:
Stafford's QB rating: 31.3
Brees' QB rating: 131.1
OUCH.
Well, can we consider this one over? //shakes TWFE Magic 8 ball// "All signs point to YES."
Back after the half. I need my meds...
