How the Lions won this game, I'll never be really sure. They gave up a ton of yards, and Jeff Garcia (former Lion) looked like Joe Montana out there. Yet while the Bucs controlled the clock, they missed a FG and did turn the ball over at the worst times. That was the difference. The Lions won ugly for the first time in a while. That's what they need to do in order to be successful.
They actually ran the ball fairly well, and only passed 25 times or so. That's about half of what they usually throw in a game. Apparently the Redskins begging them to pass last game, was the diversion in offensive play calling for the week. I still don't get the Tampa 2 defense. To me, it's a glorified version of the prevent, with pressure up front. We shall see how it holds out. Bears on deck..that's a test!
The tailgate was another success. Jerk Chicken, along with lentil rice, and strawberry salad filled our bellies. Not too heavy, but just right. Pretty much it was healthy for a change as well.
Joanne made some super sick dessert AGAIN for the post game show, and it was to die for.
Shots of many flavors by your bartender Joanne made for interesting conversation. Sue is still thinking about it.
Nice to see the visitors stop by, the old regulars from past tailgates. No Ed, no Popa...the show must go on.
B+ is the grade for the entire tailgate. Good job!
