If You Got To See It, You Probably Wish You Didn’t See It.

In a nutshell, Culpepper was a mixed bag, at times looking sluggish and fat yet delivering flashes of brilliant execution. It was exciting for about 5 minutes… His second pass was an interception. Despite the favorable field position, the Jaguars were held to 3 points. Still exciting? A little. 

The Lions answered with a Touchdown! Excited? Yes we were. 

Then a sobering revelation happened. They remembered that they were in fact, the Detroit Lions. 

From that point on it was all Jaguars. Taylor’s legs started churning and that last place Lions defense really showed them what the last place motor city is made of: Poorly designed components of inferior quality not fit to stand up against it’s competition. Funny how sports often mimic real life (GM just whacked 3600 jobs, seriously, Detroit is in trouble). 

It was as cheery as a murder scene all the way to the finish, Drew Stanton seeing a few reps in the 4th quarter. He did get a touchdown, but he suffered 5 brutal sacks in the wake of his time on the field. The Jag’s must have a psychic Defensive coordinator, he somehow knew that the Lions, Down what might as well be a million to 7, had to pass on every play. As a result, that pocket fell to pieces on every down.

For the 30-some thousand people at Ford Field, the boo’s were deafening. 

There is one shiny glimmer to take from this disaster of a game: Kevin Smith. I think this kid is really developing as a solid running back. He looked good and at times, great. So congratulations Kevin, and … Sorry you’re a Lion.
