That is what was railed against. Not, 'trap game, play down to opponent, any given sunday, etc', but more 'the lions are better'.
TBH, there's prob less than 5 on here that would/did predict like that--from a purely woe-is-me, negative standpoint--so it's not really a big deal and i probably typed a couple more lines than i cared to and you cared to read, so we can just move on and wait till the next stumble, when the negativity will be ramped up again.
Right, it wasn't the Lions specifically they believed to be better. We could have been playing any bottom feeder team and there still would have been predictions of a loss. I mean, I predicted a Bengals win and felt fairly confident in that choice, but I honestly would have felt zero surprise if we lost. The football has been pulled away too many times over too many years. But, I digress.
On to Baltimore!
