    Rebirth of the SILVER STRETCH in Motown

    RE-NEGOTIATED:

    Joey Harrington (7/1)
    Dominic Raiola (2.5/1)
    Stephen Davis (6/1)
    Dennis Northcutt (5.5/1)

    We buy out some guys who were on some seriously big contracts, better to make this their final year on the roster than to keep their inflated salaries around in the future.

                  YEAR 4 PLAYOFF STARTERS:

                  QB MATTHEW STAFFORD (85) - A young Elway, bazooka arm and quick feet, still learning
                  HB MICHAEL BENNETT (87) - Superlative speed and strength, perfect fit for the offense
                  FB REUBEN DROUGHNS (69) - Picked off the scrapheap, has great speed, not much else

                  RG DALLAS REYNOLDS (70) - Super-strong road-grader is also technically adept
                  RT STOCKAR McDOUGLE (82) - Very strong, lot of potential, but still pretty green

                  P KEVIN HUBER (88) - Brilliant youth with enormous kicking power

                      Rebirth of the SILVER STRETCH in Motown

                      First up! The 10-6 GREEN BAY PACKERS at the 13-3 DETROIT LIONS!

                      And a game of enormous significance given that legendary QB BRETT FAVRE will retire after the season (for real)! The master versus the apprentice!

                      Comment


                        Rebirth of the SILVER STRETCH in Motown

                        10-6 PACKERS at 13-3 LIONS

                        LIONS win 31-19

                        0-3 Longwell 20 yard FG
                        0-6 Longwell 20 yard FG
                        7-6 Rogers 76 yard TD reception
                        14-6 Bennett 19 yard TD run
                        14-12 Green 7 yard TD run
                        (2 point conversion failed)
                        21-12 Dillard 33 yard TD reception
                        24-12 Swank 51 yard FG
                        24-19 Green 1 yard TD run
                        31-19 Bennett 59 yard TD run

                        The PACK dominated early but could only come away with two LONGWELL 30 yard FGs and the LIONS made them pay for it.

                        MATTHEW STAFFORD had an up and down day completing 12 of 24 for 261 yards, 2 TDs, but 3 INTs.

                        MICHAEL BENNETT had a superb game, rushing 17 times for 117 yards and 2 TDs, including a 59 yard scamper that iced it.

                        CHARLES ROGERS also did well with 3 catches for 118 yards and a score.

                        MICHAEL STRAHAN added two sacks, but the D suffered a big blow when promising young FS VONTAE DAVIS was knocked out for the next few weeks, veteran AL HARRIS came in to start for him.

                        BRETT FAVRE was mostly frustrated, completing 16 of 30 for 185 yards and no TDs. AHMAN GREEN ran 16 times for 49 yards, a far cry from the dominating performances he used to display against us, although he did have 2 TDs.

                          In the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME the 13-3 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS will come to town!

                            Rebirth of the SILVER STRETCH in Motown

                            13-3 SAINTS at 13-3 LIONS

                            LIONS win 31-17

                            7-0 Dillard 25 yard TD reception
                            7-7 #45 30 yard fumble return
                            7-10 Howard 24 yard FG
                            14-10 Northcutt 5 yard TD reception
                            14-17 McAllister 2 yard TD run
                            21-17 Dillard 31 yard TD reception
                            28-17 Bennett 1 yard TD run
                            31-17 Swank 37 yard FG

                            Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but the LIONS were fairly comfortable winners.

                            STAFFORD completed 19 of 30 for 305 yards, 4 TDs but also 2 INTs.

                            BENNETT hammered 14 times for 74 yards.

                            JARRETT DILLARD had a big day with 7 catches for 146 yards and 2 TDs.

                            BAILEY, PORCHER and STRAHAN all had sacks.

                            AARON BROOKS had a poor day, completing 14 of 28 for 154 yards and an INT. That came at the end of the game, when reserve S MARCUS YOUNG, only playing because the VONTAE DAVIS injury, snared the pick.

                              So in YEAR 4, the LIONS have returned to the SUPER BOWL, where they will face the 12-4 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS!

                              And now we must have a real chance to claim our first ever SUPER BOWL CROWN!

                              Comment


                                Rebirth of the SILVER STRETCH in Motown

                                SB: 12-4 JAGUARS vs 13-3 LIONS

                                LIONS win 41-23

                                0-3 Boyd 41 yard FG
                                7-3 Rogers 56 yard TD reception
                                10-3 Swank 33 yard FG
                                10-10 Wallace 25 yard TD run
                                17-10 Dillard 49 yard TD reception
                                20-10 Swank 43 yard FG
                                27-10 Bennett 1 yard TD run
                                34-10 Rogers 27 yard TD reception
                                41-10 Woodson 92 yard INT return
                                41-17 Hartley 30 yard TD reception
                                41-23 Hartley 1 yard TD reception
                                (2 point conversion failed)

                                When the DALLAS COWBOYS shellacked the BUFFALO BILLS 52-17 at the Rose Bowl to win their first SUPER BOWL under JIMMY JOHNSON, it was famously said that only an earthquake could have stopped them. And that was how it looked as our young DETROIT LIONS tore the JAGUARS apart with a devastating combination of power and speed to claim the franchise's first ever SUPER BOWL title.

                                MATTHEW STAFFORD was named MVP for his 14 of 23 for 320 yards and 3 TDs performance, and he was most ably assisted by CHARLES ROGERS who caught 5 balls for 150 yards and 2 TDs.

                                But perhaps the real MVP was MICHAEL STRAHAN who logged three sacks and knocked JAGS starting QB BYRON LEFTWICH out of the game on one of them.

                                When backup SENECA WALLACE came in the JAGS had no chance. He did manage to rush for a TD to tie it at 10 but the LIONS then ripped off 31 points to lead 41-10. By then it was all over and two late consolation scores for the JAGS made the final scoreboard a little misleading.

                                AL HARRIS, playing at FS for the injured VONTAE DAVIS, was imperious, with 8 tackles and an INT.

                                SENECA WALLACE completed 17 of 28 for 212 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs, and ran 5 times for 77 yards and a score.

                                              Taylor Jacobs (4/1)

                                              CARTER is a special specimen, a SS with speed 97, ranked 92, and only 25.

                                              TEYO JOHNSON is on the scrapheap, ranked only 66 but at only 25 he has a chance to resurrect his career with us.

                                              CANIDATE is near the end, ranked only 65 and aged 30, but with his speed he can help us.

                                              RICKY JOHNSON will be a solid backup QB for us, hs is ranked 80 and aged 25.

                                              DESHEA TOWNSEND will be a reserve CB, he is ranked 72 and aged 31.

                                              JACOBS is an accomplished WR who will line up in the slot for us.
