In any event, I call for the dismantling of the Culpepper defense force. That’s over, we’re not getting a playoff berth, we’re no where near a wild card, stop wasting time on Culpepper.

Amber and I discuss all kinds of stuff such as the MSU and U of M games, the state of the Red Wings and some of the other really great games this week like the Pats wailing on the Titans and the Saints beating the Giants. We wander all over the place because do you really want to go in depth on an away game shut out? nah. SideLionReport Podcast is clocking in at 33 minutes strong this week,

Show Notes:

Music is Audiovent

Here is the iTunes link. I don’t know if that will work, if it doesn’t search for Audiovent, the album is dirty sexy nights in paris.

the band is long gone, they only have one album and its out of print, amazon.com doesn’t have the download version and hard copies are ridiculously expensive so get it from iTunes

I got Jim, a.k.a. Truthseeker, lead blogger for RiggosRag.com which is the Fansided.com Washington Redskins portal.

After your NFC North Rundown and the buzz I’ve got from actually winning a game, Jim and I discuss a little bit of everything about the up and coming Detroit Lions and exactly what is brewing in the kitchen over at the Redskins House of football. If you want shocking, Jim thinks the ‘Skins are going to fire Zorn by the bye week. WHOA! He might get Mooch’ed!

I’ve shamelessly lifted some Detroit Lions fans singing the fight song on youtube.com

For them, I stand and cheer the brave! RAH RAH RAH! Thanks guys!

the music is Blur, Song no. 2 which you probably already own but if you don’t buy it here (PS. 13 is actually their best album)

This is the first time I’ve fired up word press to write about a win. Like… I don’t know what to do. This is unfamiliar. I must say, feels good man.

I would have preferred to see some better offensive play in the second half, but the bottom line is that for the first time in what feels like a million years, they executed. They held the Skins down when they needed too, but I feel that were the Lions better developed, this would have been a 40 something to 14 blow out.

BUT WHO CARES. WE WON.

I’ve spent well over a year watching Lions games like this

Bryant Johnson had a brilliant first half aided by Calvin Johnson who spent most of his time double covered. Stafford was showing some improvement, especially in his working the snap count and his decision making. ESPECIALLY his decision making. I liked seeing a few plays that unlike last week where there would have been an interception, this week he made the smart move and dumped the ball off. His accuracy is still a work in progress, but this game showed me some growth.

Kevin Smith looked awesome and we moved the ball on the ground…

“We not only got the monkey off our back, we got King Kong off our back,” said Lions owner William Clay Ford. “I’m hoping that this gets us over that hump and gives us a winning attitude.”

Well Mr. Ford, one win in 20 games isn’t going to change the attitude. Drafting well, protecting your quarterback and stopping the run are how you get a winning attitude. But hey, I’m not going to go on the organization rant. We won a game.

Feels good to win man… Feels good.
