Hmm, who predicted a snoozer? LOL, just kidding. It had its interesting moments.
Let's start with the shut out. A thing of beauty, even if it was just the Lions. I think they said we hadn't had one since 1994? Five touchdowns, no wasting time with field goal attempts, didn't need them. Gotta love that! Wilkens got enough of a workout on KOs and extra points.
They miked up Faulk! If was great fun listening to how he talks during a game. Very upbeat! My favorite quote from him as spoken to Dre' Bly after his interception return for a TD (one of the games best highlights), "Special people make special plays on special days!" You bet!
Of course, one interesting play that we were robbed of was Grant Wistrom's fumble recovery for a TD. Interesting that his teammates had to drag him to his feet and propell him on his way, he usually assumes it's his to take in. How sad that a lack of understanding about what was happening on the field and the offense jumping the gun onto the field like that robbed him of it. Somebody just doesn't want Wistrom adding a TD to his stats. But, hey, he recovered the fumble, Rams ball!
A point of interest we should cherish even though it was a negative one: Faulk fumbled! I say "cherish" more for our opponents' sake. They should cherish it because it's not likely to happen again. Still, one more element of the game that kept it from being a total snoozefest.
I noticed later in game, the Lions' fans in stands (the ones that bothered to stick around) were wearing bags on their heads with frowny faces on them. I'd like to denote them as "Bags of Shame", as that's exactly what they were.
My other favorite quote of the game was made by Martz after the game was over. When asked why they threw so much, he answered, "It's fun!"
