Restore the ROAR!!

The Detroit Lions are 3-0 for the first time in 31 years!! They have beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings. As a Lions fan, we have gone through many ups and downs, especially in the last 3 seasons. In 2008, we lost EVERY game making our season 0-16. Detroit was and STILL is the butt of many jokes, but the Lions are a force to be reckoned with.

I am NOT nor have I EVER been a Vikings fan so the win last week was extra special for me. The Lions traveled to the Metrodome hungry to win. Unfortunately the 1^st half of the game did not depict that. We were down 20-0 at halftime. The Lions defense was able to hold the Vikings to only 3 points, while offense came to the rescue scoring 26 points. These was the Lions 1^st win at the Metrodome since 1997  (I was in 5^th grade)!! This was a HUGE win for Detroit.

There is not one person responsible for these wins; it is a true team effort. According to ESPN,   Matthew Stafford (QB) has thrown for 977 yards and 9 touchdowns. Javid Best struggled with turf toe on both feet last season, but so far this season he has 143 yards and 1 touchdown.  MEGATRON= Calvin Johnson, has 16 catches, 225 yards and 6 touchdowns. He is a very talented receiver and a threat to any defense.  

Louis Delmas (S) has 7 solo tackles, 3 assists, and a fumble recovery. Delmas attended Western Michigan University (GO BRONCOS!) and was drafted in 2009.  He keeps the defense motivated and makes sure everyone is doing their part to help the team win.

Next week the Lions take on the Dallas Cowboys at the new stadium in Arlington, TX. While most people may think the Cowboys are going to blow the Lions out, TRUE Lions fans know that we have a chance to win this game.

In case you forgot, the DETROIT LIONS ARE 3-0!!!! You may not be a Lions fan, but you have to RESPECT the grind. Watch and you’ll see, the LIONS are a force to be reckoned with!! While we appreciate all the fans we can get, we DON’T need bandwagon fans!!

GO LIONS!!! RESTORE THE ROAR.
