The Lions get back to work (hopefully not back to poor tackling and blocking) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7.

How will the Lions respond coming off of the bye week? Game predictions anyone?

Tampa Bay will show the Lions how to run the Tampa 2 defense. Expect a loss somilar to the Redskins / Eagles loss.

Jeffys coming back and I bet he wants to show Detroit something.
Lions 22
Garcias 20

Lions up 10-0.

Roy Williams had another one of his missed catches that bounce high up into the air and could have been intercepted. Luckily, this time he was able to catch it on the rebound.

KJ is back and looking explosive. What an upgrade he is over Bell. He's a great combination of speed and power.

Wow, the Lions D is really, really, REALLY bad.

They give guys 10 yard cushions at the line, then another 20 yards after the snap. Guys are WIDE open all the time.

They can't tackle to save their lives. Seriously, I can't remember the last time the first man makes the tackle.

They're undersized, overpowered and untalented.

Garcia is 18 of 19 for 200 yards in the first half (with the ball with over 3 minutes left in the 2nd Q).

Time of possession is about 20 minutes for TB and 6 for the Lions.

Calvin Johnson hasn't had many touches so far this season, but when he has - WOW.

He's the real deal. The complete package of size, speed, strength and smart.

On that last reverse for a TD, he looked like a man playing against boys. It looked so effortless. Almost like he was going half speed.

In a year or two, he'll be our #1 WR hands down. Roy will make a great #2.

A little scare at the end, but a win is a win. Thanks for two fumbles, Garcia. Lions defense is horrible.

Yeah that Garcia fumble on the 1 in the 4th qtr was a game saver for the Lions as Garcia must thought he was still playing for the Lions...

Finally the running game gets it going matching the passing game with 147 yards each. Both KJ and CJ looked good today.

Tampa Bay controlled the clock, but TO's did them in and the Lions had no turnovers which paid off this time. Kind of ugly for the lions but you have to win at home

Thanks for the reminder about my predictions this season. Team just doesn't seem that good to me so I pick against them. The had 9 minutes less time of posession and 140 less yards, yet they won. By the way, What do I call you ???
