Lions win again... barely

I just finished watching the Lions/Stampeders game. The Leo's did everythign they could to lose the game, including throwing interceptions, fumbles, stupid penalties, receivers not catching the football... but they won it in overtime.
The Stampeders made their share of mistakes as well, but were kept in the game by their defence, which bashed and brutalized QB Casey Printers. He left the game in the fourth quarter after being run over for about the twentieth time.
At 6 wins and three loses, the Leo's are sitting pretty, but hopefully this is a wake-up call of sorts. Penalties and stupid plays will kill you, even if you are one of the best teams in the league.

And dang I hope Printers is okay.
