Too much work, not enough play. Another short recap this week. Hoping things get back to normal around here sometime in the very near future.
The NFL Conference Championship games are Sunday. Four teams left. In the first contest of the day, at 3pm, the Jets come to Indianapolis to take on the [...]
Here’s quick preview of this weeks games. There were a couple of surprises last week. I didn’t think the Ravens could beat the Patriots, even with Welker out, and in no way expected the shoot-out in Arizona. Wild game there. This week is the divisional playoff games, the winners moving to the conference playoffs and [...]
Here’s a quick run-down of this weekends playoff games. They begin this afternoon at 4:30pm with the NY Jets (9-7) taking on the Cincinnati Bengals (10-6) at Paul Brown Stadium in Cinci. Both teams can run the ball and both have very good defenses. This will be a tough game fought in the trenches. Vegas [...]
The Detroit Lions fired special teams coach Stan Kwan today. About damn time. Special teams were dismal this past season and Kwan was one of the major reasons. Adding depth to that position would help (trade for Josh Cribbs) as well as getting someone in there who knows what the heck they’re doing. Speaking of [...]
Stud KR/PR WR Josh Cribbs is unhappy in Cleveland. Detroit is in dire need of a return man and another decent receiver. The Lions should make the Browns an offer for Cribbs now. Holmgren will attempt to resign him but it sounds like Cribbs may sit out if he doesn’t get what he wants. The [...]
The Lions signed nine free agents today including TE Dan Gronkowski and DT Terrence Taylor. They also signed WR’s Michael Ray Garvin and Kole Heckendorf, DB’s Jonathan Hefney, Paul Pratt and Jahi Word-Daniels, OG Kurt Quarterman and DE Robert Henderson.
I certainly hope the Lions can make a splash in free agency (scheduled to start 03/05/10) [...]
Another disappointing season is finally over. The Lions were beaten by the Bears this afternoon, mostly in the 2nd half, which was the norm for the entire season. I’m not doing a recap as it was depressing enough the first time. With that loss and a loss by the St. Louis Rams, the Lions will [...]
Da Bears come into Detroit today for the final game of the season. And what a season it has been, for both teams. The Bears are coming off a great overtime win over Minnesota on MNF but will be missing the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row and some are saying they’re playing [...]
Daunte Culpepper has been taking snaps with the 1st offense. He’s the most offensive thing about that group. He needs to stay on the bench and they need to give Drew Stanton another shot.
The Lions real quarterback, Matthew Stafford, had successful knee surgery. The surgery was performed by famed sports orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. [...]
Short and sweet today. The Lions lost, again, yesterday to the San Francisco 49ers 20-6. The first drive of the game for the Lions looked pretty good until they got into the redzone and couldn’t get the TD. They settled for a Jason Hanson field goal to go up 3-0. It all went down hill [...]
Short and sweet this weekend as I’m writing this on Thursday and heading back up north for Christmas with the family. I won’t have access to a computer again until Sunday evening or Monday afternoon.
The Detroit Lions travel to California Sunday to take on the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers playoff hopes were dashed last [...]
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I sincerely hope everyone has a very safe and Merry Christmas.

Lions quarterback Drew Stanton (here’s a link to his website) will get the start against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Drew was drafted in the second round (43rd overall) in 2007 by he who shall not be named’s regime. Stanton played in 3 games in 2008 and came in last week after the [...]
The Lions lost a great game (2nd half) against Arizona Sunday 31-24. Daunte Culpepper started the game and, as expected, looked like crap. He was pulled in favor of Drew Stanton in the second half. Finally. Stanton fared a bit better and the team definitely responded to the change at the helm. neither QB [...]
The Arizona Cardinals come to town today to take on the Detroit Lions. The Cards can clinch the NFC West with a victory over the Lions. They lost last week on Monday night, mostly through their own mistakes, and should be looking for an easy win today in Motown.
QB Matthew Stafford will be out today [...]
The Lions released veteran fullback Terrelle Smith on Wednesday and claimed guard Roy Schuening off the waiver wire. Schuening was a 5th round pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2008 and only played in one game as a rookie and spent most of the ‘09 season on Oakland’s practice squad. [...]
Rev Spielman over at The Church of Schwartz continues his Q&A with several of the internet’s top Lions bloggers. It is, as usual, a good read. Go check it out. Here’s the questions for this week and my responses.
1. With the season nearing its conclusion, evaluate each Lions draft pick from 2009 and their [...]
The Detroit Lions confirmed today that running back Kevin Smith is out for the year with a torn ligament in his left knee. That’s too bad. The kid was coming into his own in recent weeks and is turning into a heck of a player. I just hope that when all is said and done, [...]
Here’s a link to the highlights of coach Jim Schwartz press conference after the beat-down from the Ravens on Sunday. Boy does he look pissed. I’d wager that there will be some changes come Tuesday, possible a few cuts. I hope Culpepper is the first one to go.

Wow. I’m not sure where to begin here. The Lions looked like a pee-wee team playing out there today. It was a totally embarrassing game that made me wish the season was already over and we could start looking to the future. I don’t think I can handle 3 more weeks of this crap.
The first [...]
