sheesh, the ravens look like ass. you know its bad when suggs gets knocked out of bounds by joey harrington after an int. the result, of course, was a subsequent anthony wright int moments later. nice effort, suggs.
The Ravens got screwed on the phony fumble call with Harrington but you can't make excuses for that mental meltdown they had out there. The Lions took advantage of every stupid mistake and beat their asses. The Lions themselves weren't all the impressive and with Williams getting hurt, Pollard developing alligator arms and the rush defense is still very suspect...I'm not going overboard with this win. Harrington didn't even break 100 yards...what the hell do I have to celebrate? They played an okay game against a team that had their heads up their collective ass. It's a win and the Lions lead the North but I'm not calling this a turnaround or a step forward. Beat a team that plays their best game and then I'll stick my chest out with pride after a win. They beat a crappy Packers team, got hammered by a mediocre Bears team and should've beaten an overrated Bucs team. I'm going to the Panthers game next week...hopefully they can play a complete game to beat a quality opponent. Their two wins were games where their opponents just didn't show up and made awful mistakes. The Lions have yet to beat an opponent but they do have two wins.
Billick is easily the most overrated coach in the league. For a supposed offensive guru, his offense sucks balls. I know he has never had a pro bowl QB but if he is such a mastermind he A) should have the ability to spot a good one and sign him via free agency or B) groom a young QB w/ a good arm into a QB who could give his team a chance to win big games. Marvin Lewis and Nolans D's have bailed him out the past 5 years, but I believe this will be his last season.
