Blitz struggles concern Lions | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
The blitz has not been much of a weapon for the Lions this season: Packers quarterback Matt Flynn treated it like a power hitter who's been tipped off on the pitch selection - he hit home runs off it.

It's not quite the same success story in the NFC, but still, New Orleans is back in the tournament for the fourth time in six years, Atlanta is making its third trip in four seasons, while Green Bay (eight) and the Giants (seven) have been to the postseason plenty of times since this century began. And did we mention the Packers, Saints and Giants have won three of the past four Super Bowls?
Wild-Card Games: What the Film Says - NYTimes.com
The Lions must have the mind-set that it will take 40 points for them to win. Deep passes should be commonplace. It helps that a majority of this offense operates out of the shotgun; that creates spacing that naturally takes some of the sting off Gregg Williams’s aggressive six-man blitzes.

Drew Brees is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, but there is no chance the Saints let him leave New Orleans. If a long-term extension is not reached by end of February, Casserly reported that they will use the franchise tag to continue negotiations on a long-term contract. Brees is coming off one of the best quarterback seasons in NFL history, passing for an NFL-record 5,476 yards and leading the league with 46 touchdown passes. Brees has not missed a game due to injury during his six seasons in New Orleans and turns 33 on January 15, the same age Tom Brady was when he signed his four-year, $72 million contract extension in 2010 that included nearly $50 million in guarantees. Brees' agent is Tom Condon of CAA Football, who negotiated Peyton Manning's contract in July and who secured a record $50 million guaranteed from the St. Louis Rams for 2010 first overall pick Sam Bradford. Manning and Brady's guarantees were $48 million apiece. It would not be a surprise if Brees tops $50 million in his next deal.
