The Lions were beaten pretty efficiently on Thanksgiving day, losing to the Packers 34-12. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson both started and played the entire game but both are pretty banged up. You could see Stafford wincing over his left shoulder and CJ limping around and not playing up to snuff. The game was bad [...]
Phil Zaroo at M-Live is reporting that sources close to the Lions say that Stafford will start today. I also just heard it on the Fox pre-game show from Jay Glazer. This is good and bad. I just hope his shoulder doesn’t become worse by taking a bit hit during the game. The O-Line will [...]
The Green Bay Packers are coming to town on Turkey Day and it looks like the only turkey on the field will be Lions back-up quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Matthew Stafford, who was injured in the 2nd to last play in Sundays victory over the Browns, will likely not play. The Lions should start Drew Stanton [...]
The Lions defeated the Cleveland Browns 38-37 Sunday on a last second TD pass from injured quarterback Matthew Stafford to rookie tight end Brandon Pettigrew.
And I do mean injured. Matthew Stafford was diagnosed with a separated left shoulder after taking a huge hit by Browns defensive tackle C.J. Mosley that drove him hard to [...]
The Cleveland Browns are coming to town in the battle of the NFL’s two worst teams and for the first pick in the 2010 NFL draft. The Lions have the worst defense in the league and the Browns have the worst offense. The Browns have only scored 5 touchdowns this season and, unfortunately, they will [...]
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. Well respected ESPN columnist Kevin Seifert says the Lions have 7 keepers on their roster. Using [...]
The Lions were trounced Sunday 27-10 by the Minnesota Vikings. The game was not as close as the score shows (I know, 17 points isn’t close, but it should have, could have, been a lot more). The offensive line was, well, offensive. LT Jeff Backus needs to go, or at the very least, moved to [...]
It’s official, Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield will not play against the Lions on Sunday. If the O-line can keep Jared Allen out of QB Matthew Stafford’s face, it could be possible for the Lions to put some points on the board. They’re going to need them as Butt Favre will undoubtedly light up Detroit’s [...]
Sorry about the long stretch between updates. I had a complete computer crash (hard drive, motherboard) and had to do a complete rebuild. Lost everything. Speedy friggin’ quick now. Still have a lot of recovery to do data-wise but will start updating regularly as time permits.
This has not been a good season. There are still [...]
Short and sweet as I’m on someone else’s computer until this coming mid-week.
The Lions take on the Saint Louis Rams this week at home in Ford Field. hopefully the team is well rested and some of the injured are back and ready for action. two of those, QB Matthew Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson, are [...]
