The Lion's Den

Well, it looks like no matter who the Lion's coaching staff puts under center the result seems to be the same; no offense. Head Coach Steve Mariucci tried to jump start the offense by benching loser Joey Harrington and put in Jeff Garcia who returned from a serious leg injury during training camp. It looked like it was a great move when the Lion's were able to win in his first game as starter.

That was very short lived when he struggled last week in a loss to the Chicago Bears. So Mariucci went back to Harrington and as I expected we lost again. Thanks in large part to Harrington, two INT's and a fumble lead to our loss against the pathetic Viking's who were without their starting QB (Daunte Culpepper) due to a season ending knee injury in last weekends game.

The Viking's started Brad Johnson and the Lion's defense laid down and we got beat like a dog. I have decided that it pretty much doesn't matter who they put in as the starting QB we aren't going to win. I think we need to shoot for the top 1 or 2 picks in the draft and go after Matt Linert or Vince Young and dump both Garcia and Harrington. 

We lost starting running back Kevin Jones indefinitely due to a shoulder injury and that leave to worthless running back for Detroit. I doubt both Artose Pinner and Shaun Bryson could combine for 30 yards rushing on a good day.

For the second straight game WR Stevie Vines played a great game at receiver, but when he is all we have got at receiver it just isn't enough.

I hate to be the one that told my fellow Lion's fans that our record was going to be 6-10 at best and if we continue to play poorly it could be 3-13.
