Jeff Garcia certainly didn't
have any trouble throwing the
ball against the Lions,
completing 18 straight passes at
one point. But Tampa Bay's
quarterback couldn't hold on to
the ball in key situations
against his former team and
Detroit took advantage in a
23-16 win.
The Lions converted two
Garcia fumbles into touchdowns,
including a 32-yard run by
rookie wide receiver Calvin
Johnson to seal the win for
Detroit (4-2), which pulled
within a game of idle Green Bay
in the NFC North.
Garcia, who didn't have a
turnover in his first five games
for the Bucs (4-3), botched a
handoff in Detroit territory in
the first quarter, and
mishandled a snap on a
first-and-goal when the Bucs
were a yard away from pulling
within two points early in the
fourth
My name is TL Redman. Having been a Lion fan for over 50 years. I am sure you can share in my frustration.
My question is very simple, what is up with Steve Mariucci? He seems to be an intelligent man and an above average football coach. He has coached on winning teams in college and the NFL. His first coaching job in college was with California in 1996. His team went 6-5, but get this, his team averaged over 450 yds per game, 321yds per game passing....
