New Orleans recovered and later scored to make it 21-0. The Lions haven't lost their talent for raising the dead. They let the New Orleans Saints escape from the NFL's graveyard Sunday in a 35-17 loss at the Superdome. Same old looks, same old scene. The only noise is the hiss of the showers.
Players shake their heads while they knot their ties.
No one knows nothing, of course. Hang the guy and be done with it. But that would be too simple, and that's what makes the Lions so maddening. They came down to New Orleans, where the Saints were 0-3 under a seething Mike Ditka, and managed to stink in every conceivable aspect of the game. You give the ball away, you give the game away.
