Performance Rating: rancid cranberry sauce followed by two hours of vomiting, then 2 turkey legs and 1 serving of mashed potatoes. But the potatoes are cold by the time you eat them, so there isn't so much satisfaction. The Lions fell behind early...again...and by the time the...

When Millen was ousted, things were supposed to get better. Even though we all knew it wouldn't happen right away, I'm still a little surprised that the Lions haven't won a game since the management shake-up. The loss to Minnesota was aggravating enough...the loss to Houston...

Quick quiz: who was the last Lions QB to make a Pro Bowl roster? Answer: Greg Landry in 1971. Before him it was Bobby Layne in 1956. If you remember, Scott Mitchell was snubbed back in 1995. He was the closest thing we've had to a big time signal caller since Landry. Maybe even...

BREAKING DOWN DETROIT'S BREAK DOWN: 1. Orlovsky is unable to please himself. He only pleases himself when the Lions win. 2. The Lions don't spend enough time with the ball in their hands. 3. Kevin Smith capitalized on some "explosion plays" against Houston. 4. Detroit...

Washington 25, Detroit 17 - the game met pretty much all of my expectations in terms of scoring, player performance, etc. Detroit actually led at halftime but couldn't stop the 'Skins offense from racking up 439 total yards and scoring 19 points in the second half to pull away...
