Today's NFL message: The Cardinals really suck

Man, the Cardinals must be really bad, as they were waxed by the Lions--making Joey and R. Williams look more like Peyton and Marvin Harrison.

Roy scored three times, Joey had a QB rating of 120.7, Kevin Jones had 81 yards on 14 carries (nearly six yards per carry), and the Lions as a team rushed for 157 yards. We controlled the ball for almost 35 minutes of the game. That's not our team!

We did get torched for 359 yards in the air, but we continue to be banged up with Bly and now Goodman not available due to injury. The defense did convert a safety.

At 4-5, we're two games behind the Bears, plus the tiebreaker, so that's not something that is likely to transpire. Back to reality next week at Dallas and then we have the Falcons on Thanksgiving, so 4-7 is likely, and at that point, you have to really run the table to finish .500.

Big week of QB controversey in Detroit. I think Garcia starts in Dallas next week if he is healthy, and if the recievers (RWilliams and Pollard) bring their game, we could compete. One win in the next two would be a real accomplishment.

Oh, and after his big week in practice, nice game by Rogers. Those 4 yards were vital.
