The Lions Congregation – Week 8

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.

Rumors and rambling – bye week

The Lions are on bye this week (week 7) and return home to take on the St. Louis Rams in week 8.  Saying that the Rams game will be a mark in the win column is a bit premature.  If Stafford is not back, the Lions could be stuck with Daunte Culpepper again.  They need [...]

Lions at Packers – Week 6

Detroit heads to Wisconsin today for a divisional game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.  It should be a beautiful day for football with game time temps around 48 degrees and sunny.  The Packers come into this meeting at 2-2, 3rd place in the division, only 1-1/2 game ahead of Detroit, who are [...]

End of week Rumors and ramblings

Sorry for the slack in the posts, I’ve been  computerless (is that really a word?) at home all week and don’t do this stuff at work.  Extremely frustrating and really dang annoying.  Finally up and running again.

Steelers @ Lions – Week 5

The defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers roll in to Motown on Sunday to play the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.

Hump Day Rumors and Rambling

The Lions waived linebacker Darnell Bing and activated rookie Zack Follett from the practice squad yesterday.
"I didn’t see the passion," Lions LB Zack Follett said of the teams’ recent special teams woes. "I feel like a pit bull that’s been caged up, has been watching every week and just waiting for my chance."

The day after – Rumors and rambling

The Lions game Sunday against the Bears went pretty much as expected, though I had hoped the defense would actually step up and play ball for a change.  Come on folks, I’ve been drinking the kool-aid as much as anyone but the Lions are in a rebuilding phase and, even though the offense is playing [...]

Lions at Bears – week 4

The Lions (1-2) enter their week 4 game against the Chicago Bears (2-1) in what could be a very interesting matchup.  Playing a division rival is always a challenge and this week will be no different.  The Bears are looking as they could be contenders for the NFC Central North title and the Lions [...]
