NFL Playoffs – Conference Championship edition

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 [...]

NFL Playoffs – division weekend

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 [...]

NFL Playoffs Wildcard Weekend Rundown

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 [...]

Stan Kwan is gone!

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 [...]

Let’s make a deal!

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 [...]

Rumors and Rambling – What’s next for Detroit?

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) [...]

Lions lose again, get #2 pick in 2010 draft

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 [...]

Bears at Lions – Week 17 – End of the road

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 [...]
