Receiver was running a fly route, Carlos Rogers was the cb trailing, carlos tips ball away from Minnesota receiver right as Sean taylor clocks him. I'm not being bias, jsut angry.

Brunell was good, Cooley wasnt, Derrick Dockery was the only bad player on our O line and missed a few crucial blocks. Portis wasnt 100% so Betts was in, and he isnt exactly the same caliber. Our D line was having trouble getting pressure on the QB, I'm not sure why Greg Williams wasnt blitzing his normal amount.

This is true, but if they were to come out at the same time and nothing would have hurt Clarret's draft status then Clarret wouldve went before Betts.

Yea but he woulda been a bust IMO. Betts is more patient and a better blocking back, a career backup. Clarrett wants the limelight and would never have it, he'd prolly end up traveling the world like Ron Dayne.

Yes, Clarett was a better prospect. Remember, though, Betts blew out his knee in the last game of his senior year. I'm not a Betts worshiper, or even a fan really, I just know he has never had the chance to carry the ball as the number one back.

Did you see the poll on ESPN.com yesterday? It was like "How far do you think your favorite NFL team will go?" And Michigan was the only state where the majority said "Will probably be done by week 4." I was crackin up but at the same time I felt bad. I love seeing the Lions do good especially on Thanksgiving. I know, rare occurrence.

No, they made the playoffs that year and I think you are right, they lost to Washington. I was referring to '91 I think It was ugly. Like 46-7 or something.

Yep, Super Bowl Champs. '91 season, '92 Super Bowl. They beat Buffalo.
