quote:

1) Penalties Lions 6-39yds. Saints 10-83
Lions 3 1st downs by penalty. Saints 1 1st by penalty.
If you give your opponent 3 unearned 1st downs and 83 free yds. Penalties are drive killers if you are on offense and drive extenders if you are on defense. This team is not good enough to afford 10 penalties to any other team.


Clete Blakeman's Crew:



Lions 6 penalties for 39 yards.

Saints 10 penalties for 83 yards.

And when the refs allow the Saints' opponent's offensive line to hold and the opponent's secondary is allowed to hold and interfere with Saints WR's, game over.

Stop blaming the refs. These calls tend to even out.
Kelemente was getting all he could handle at the o-line and the other calls could have gone either way.
i.e. the calls on Breaux. It's time for us to see things as they are and not how we wish they were.
This team is young and inconsistent. You have to be disciplined enough to avoid the penalties as much as possible and patient enough to stick to your game plan. It really hurt pass protection having Armstead out and they went to the well too many times through the air. These are the facts.
