Lions Win Convincingly Sunday

The Lions had their best offensive outing of the season on Sunday. Facing a dinged-up Cardinals defense, the Lions were able to give the impression that they may be the proud possesor’s of a real, live, and breathing NFL caliber offense. Obviously their performance was an encouraging development, after the prolonged struggles on offense that they have encountered throughout the seasonthus far.

Roy Williams, who was finally healthy, looked like he may be the player that we all actuallty expected him to be capable of being. Which was refreshing after the continued bouts of sulking and complaining that he has been stricken with this year. Hopefully, he will continue to perform at this level. Williams’s improved performance would allow for the Lions offense to function much more effectively.

Joey Harrington even showed signs that he may still have a slight chance to thrive and perform respectably if given the opportunity. Mysteriously, Steve Mariucci is being stubbornly vague as to who will hold the reins as the Lions go to Dallas next Sunday to face the Cowboys. As far as I am concerned, it would be foolish to disturb the momentum this offense could be potentially developing, especially to supplant a possible future performer with a player whose (Garcia) career is definitely reaching it’s nadir. My faith in Mariucci is minimal at this point, so I hope that the front office makes a strong stand in regards to this decision.
