Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes and welcome to the week 13/game 12 thread

Well... last week was a kick to the junk as not only did our red zone issues crop up in a big way yet again, but we lost even more of our weapons to injuries.

The good news... the NFC South is still trash we can still pull things out. The bad news... we will have to win games against tough teams with wide receivers practically off the streets to do it.

And today it's even worse as we take on a good Detroit team that's eager to rebound from a bad loss at home on its day... the traditional Thanksgiving Lions home game. Can the Saints somehow be the team to do the rebounding today? Let's hope so.

LET'S WHIP THE LIONS AND GET BACK ON THE GOOD SIDE OF THINGS!!!
