It is clearly far better to start a season 10-2 than 6-6 or 0-12. That’s probably especially true when many of us fans had doubts about the team’s chances going in. You probably won’t hear much doom and gloom in Detroit at the moment. Instead of wondering if they can compete, now we’re wondering if they are “the real deal” – an immeasurably better question to think on. Instead of withering criticism of Dave Dombrowski Tigers fans might now be asking whether this past offseason was… masterful?
