The Lions are currently in a season funk. The team has dealt with everything from an early hot start, key injuries, Ndamukong Suh’s suspension, and a three game losing streak.
All of that is enough for any team to handle and the young Lions have been challenged to say the least on all fronts in 2011. Detroit was not expected to be this good and competitive this season in terms...

I can’t honestly say that I have ever been more frustrated watching a sporting event than I was watching the second half of the Lions-Vikings game on Sunday.
The Lions controlled the first half of the game, forcing four turnovers and scoring 31 points. They built a 17 point lead at halftime and looked comfortably in control of the game. The Vikings even benched quarterback...

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Ndamukong Suh will get a warm reception from defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham when he returns to the Lions Monday after serving a two-game suspension.
But Cunningham is being considerably cooler toward Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen because of the disparaging comments Allen made earlier in the week about the city of Detroit.
The Lions play...

The 4th quarter starts with a nicely designed fake reverse into a screen to Williams. 1st down at the Vikes' 23.
Now there's a horse collar! 15 yards!
Even the blind could see this penalty...
Lions 1st and 10 at the Vikes' 12!
Williams bursts off tackle, 8 yards! 3rd and 2. But he's stuffed on 3rd down for no gain.
Lions go for it on 4th and 1 from the 2. Nope...

I am an old lady and have stuck by the Lions through thick and thin, mostly thin. Now we have a good team and some hotheads have to ruin things.

Clean off your Saturday hangover, girl scouts, it's the Purple Jesus Diaries Game Thread! Join us today as the Minnesota Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions sans our heavenly figure, but WITH a quarterback who's got a gimpy hip. Probably from thrusting too hard, in a girl of all things, while he wasn't wearing a shirt. How awesome. It figures to be a real ugly game...

It appears there's a decent chance the Detroit Lions will be without running back Kevin Smith for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
