The Jeff Garcia Curse, Not Today

There was a lot of hype about the Jeff Garcia "curse" heading into Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Many places all over were talking about how Jeff Garcia had the Giants number having beat the Giants on a few occasions and in big situations like todays game. One such example was last season when Jeff Garcia filled in for an injured Donovan McNabb, and completed 17 of 31 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown to help Philadelphia defeat New York 23-20 in a wild-card game. Five years ago, Jeff Garcia helped lead the second biggest playoff comeback in league history when he threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed seven times for 60 yards and a TD to help San Francisco rally from a 38-14 deficit and defeat New York 39-38. However, the past is the past and it's a brand new day every day you wake up.

The Buc's got off to a good start holding the Giants and then being lead down the field by Jeff Garcia to an eventual touchdown to take a 7-0 lead, however the Buc's wouldn't score again until late in the 4th quarter but that wouldn't matter as they were already down 21.

The New York Giants and Eli Manning took care of business today defeating Jeff Garcia and the Tampa Bay Buc's today to move on in the NFL Playoffs.
