A Must Win?

L, Detroit Lions 21 - Arizona Cardinals 31

I'm vacationing this week in Catalina Island and I'm jonesing for football. To get to the island you must take an hour long ferry from Long Beach out into the Pacific Ocean. The ship has televisions but the closed circuit was showing the Green Bay and Minnesota game instead of the real one.

Detroit is in the desert this weekend and although they are sporting a great record going into the second half of the season, this is a big game in my opinion. They could send a message to the rest of the league and be only three wins away from Jon Kitna's 'prediction'.

Unfortunately, the defense (and offense) didn't get the message and AGAIN were asleep at the wheel. When on the road, this era's team usually make third stringers and back-up QBs look like all-pros and this game was no different. Kurt Warner looked like a Ram again and by the time I saw a score, the game was over already. UGH.
