eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 It the Tampa reversal hadn't happened, and the Williams fumble reviewed hadn't been botched..I can't imagine that an article like that would even exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas27 7 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) It the Tampa reversal hadn't happened, and the Williams fumble reviewed hadn't been botched..I can't imagine that an article like that would even exist. Ehhh, even so they wouldn't be any better than mediocre, at least with Joey still at qb. *edit* "Harrington doesn't have to redirect protections as many quarterbacks do. Raiola does it. I hear Raiola has been handling the "check with me" calls. There was an instance in Sunday's game in which the play clock was about to expire and a teammate had to call a timeout." Now that is sad...

TheGoonSquad0208 1 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Joey Harrington said Lions fans will not run him out of town. During Sunday's Lions game at Ford Field, the crowd chanted "Joey sucks!" "They will not break me," Harrington declared Tuesday. "I'm not gonna quit. They will have to drag me out of here. I know I'm still a good football player."

dallas27 7 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) "I know I'm still a good football player." And he and his family are the only ones that actually believe that. If he knows he's such a good football player why the hell isn't he making stuff happen out there? *edit* I'd expect for Joey to play the first half and if he doesn't fare well in comes Garcia. I just don't think they would start Garcia outright unless they make the decision pre-game and not make it public.

dallas27 7 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Garcia started and it was a welcomed surprise. Despite not having ANY chemistry or timing with any of the recievers out there, although there aren't too many to choose from right now, he's completing passes and MAKING plays happen. His scramble and pass to Mike Williams would have never happened if Joey is in there. And Garcia actually got 7 points up on the board by scrambling it...all in all I'm pretty impressed so far. Despite my disliking for Joey I sorta feel for the guy when I see him on the sidelines, he's a nice guy and always addresses the media despite what the questions are, unfortunately that won't make him into a good qb though...

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 Despite playing with third-string receivers and having to put up with the horrible play-calling of Steve-o, Jeff Garcia manages to pull out a win. And thus, saints be praised, ends the days of Joey Harrington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 So it's true - the Lions have pretty much officially given up on Harrington....I thought there must be a reason for the "W" by the Lions on the score ticker on my TV.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 Lions will do better than 6-10. Came within a point of beating Carolina (preseason super bowl contender), and a BS reversal screwed them out of a win against Tampa (then undefeated, now 5-1). They should be 4-2 right now and tied for second in the conference behind Seattle's 5-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas27 7 Report post Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) I just have this feeling in my gut that the Tampa BS could cost us the division and a playoff spot. Chicago is the only real threat in the division right now, the Lions have to many winnable games for the Vikes and the Pack to catch up. Detroit is the better team out of the two. As long as the defense sorta steps it up now that Bly is out 3-4 weeks (not sure about Big Baby) and the offense gets going I don't see why they can't win it. I think we're gonna see KJ start having some big games as the offense and o-line will step it up now that they know they have a qb in that can win and make plays. Rivers might be on the top of the list for qb next year unless they decide to go with Orvlosky. Edited October 27, 2005 by dallas27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
