Must win here. It really depends on which Lions team shows up, even if their best shows up, we still have a chance.

I am a huge Joey Harrington fan, I've liked him ever since college, so I watch Detroit when the Skins arent on ( I'm already trying to figure out what to do with my Joey Harrington stuff sunday, somthing tells me I snap and rip it all off the wall before I go watch the game.) Anyways, here are the key to this game. Stop Roy Williams.. if he plays..Kevin Jones is a decent back but not great, if we were able to stop Jamal Lewis and Ahman Green the way we did, we should stop him no problem. The Lions other recivers are nothing special, but if we can hold Williams in check, we should hold their offense in check.

Our offense.... I dont even know what to say, they have to do somthing. 17 Rushing attempts isnt gonna cut it. I wanna see Betts/Porits run a ton, and we will start throwing when nessacarry. I really think if were gonna keep Brunell @ QB, we really have to limit the way we go about our offense, not throw 44 times a game ( granted we trailed so no big deal ).

As far down as we are, I still have slim hopes. I hope we can rattle off a win here and next week ( we should deifntley beat Cinci ), so we can go to Philly 4-5 and at least I can get excited about the fact if we win it pulls us up to .500. Well one game at a time, I suppose. I have a good, but not great feeling about this game. If Dallas can beat these guys, so can we.
