We need more Joe Fauria touchdown dance gifs.
I'm not terribly excited about the win over the Vikings, as I think we very well would have lost that game if a quarterback better than Ponder were at the helm there. He started sailing a lot of passes during their last few comeback attempts and there were still mistakes being made on both sides of the ball. Fauria looks legit and definitely deserves getting more opportunities, which it sounds like he'll get. And they'll need someone like that to step up and be the undervalued but dangerous extra option, with so much defensive effort going to try to limit Bush and CJ. I stand by my comments during the game that Pettigrew is a bum and Delmas is an idiot, not that the latter will matter much by week 4 when his knee explodes.
I do think that the Lions have it within them to go to Arizona and win, despite the thrashing they took there last year...but I can't say it's even close to guaranteed. Situations like this against seemingly-beatable opponents always have a way of coming back to bite us in the ass.
