Garcia guides Lions to victory

October 23,2005 was the day the Lions moved on. After 4 years of patiently waiting for Harrington, the 3rd pick in the 2001 draft to pan out, the Lions finally said "what are we doing, this guy sucks." Well, thats not exactly what Mooch said, but I am pretty sure thats what he was thinking. I find it funny that the Lions drafted a reciever three years in a row thinking the reason Harrington sucks is because the recievers suck, boy were they wrong. Yesterday, Jeff Garcia had a great game when his recievers were Scotty Vines, Mike Williams, Kevin Johnson until he got injured, and Pollard. Imagine what can happen when all the "big 3" are healthy. No excuses now, Joey.

Going further into yesterday's game, I was pleased with the defense. Boss Bailey really impressed me, but the defensive player of the game should be Dick Jauron. Jauron consistently made the right change/adjustment to shut down the Cleveland Browns pass game while containing the run. Everything he did made sense, unlike some past lion coardinaters. I'm happy to see Cory Schlesinger back in the game. Garcia found him numerous times with the checkdown and Cory gained positive yardage, hes always hard to bring down. A big upgrade over Paul Smith. Maybe the Lions offense didnt finish there chances efficiently, but they scored just enough to grab this game. Player of the game goes to Jeff Garcia: Maybe the Lions offense didnt finish there chances efficiently, but they scored just enough to grab this game. I dont know if 4 years watching Harrington miss an open reciever in the corner of the end zone has warped my perception on what a good game is, but I know Garcia played well.

Next week the Bears come into D-town to decide who is number one in the NFC north. Quite a feat to accomplish.

GO LIONS!!!!

Totally think that Garcia is going to be the key for the Lions. Detroit is on its way.

The leathered oval object is flying in financial partners with great success and while searching for other football Tamaz successes I read your Garcia guides Lions to victory. Failure is not an option for most financial partners and my passion as read at financial partners has a similar theme. You have a great read here and thanks for promoting the great game in life.
