(Well, Stafford is still kinda stumbling around the Outback but everyone else looked fired up.) That's good news. A part of me, I think, was afraid that this team would just crumble and quit and then anarchy would reign. So, while there are still issues - potentially fatal issues - it was really, really encouraging to see them go on the road and fight like dogs.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300561079216508635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-46761306331379584962012-10-17T07:29:54.870-04:002012-10-17T07:29:54.870-04:00It was interesting, I've never seen the Lions ...It was interesting, I've never seen the Lions players (and Schwartz for that matter) come out in force on Twitter after a game saying things like "Great TEAM win today." <br /><br />I don't know maybe this makes me sound like some big sap who has watched too many sports movies and I'm expecting some kind of montage of multiple weeks worth of wins coming, but maybe this turns their season around. I mean, it was certainly more passion than we've seen in a few weeks.<br /><br />The point is this: I have hope. We have a little glimmer of hope that this is still the team that's capable of beating anyone. However deranged and misguided it may be, there is hope.Dave Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580115438716980446.post-7459458336790848122012-10-17T00:34:37.873-04:002012-10-17T00:34:37.873-04:00Andre Ware . . .

Someone pointed out to me on Twitter that the glorious beatdown of the Tebow child last season in Denver was even better and yeah, it was, but man, I don't even think that game had so many hits on the QB as this one did. They were just brutalizing Vick like, well, insert your favorite Vick beats dogs joke here.<br /><br />And yeah, Delmas is definitely the dude who changes the whole thing for the better for him.
