Good thing the Lions signed Melvin Fowler earlier in the week, eh? At any rate, with the loss of Peterman, an already beleaguered Lions offensive line becomes even weaker. Peterman has been one of the few dependable Lions offensive linemen, during recent seasons.
Daniel Loper likely...
Week 11: Browns Vs. Lions

Detroit Lions Weblog

As we are all too aware, this Sunday’s “blacked-out” Lions home game constitutes one of the all-time worst match-ups in NFL league history. Each team is historically bad, especially the Lions, who by losing six straight, currently have the most consecutive losses...
Joe Thomas Vs. Calvin Johnson–Three Years Later

After three years, and the selection of a potential franchise QB, the Lions will now be able to see first hand whether they made the right decision selecting their franchise WR Calvin Johnson over franchise LT Joe Thomas, who currently plays for the Browns.
With the obvious friction...
Good God, Not Even the Lions, or Their Fans, are This Pathetic

You want a sure sign that a franchise is reeling, and is running out of answers internally, I give you, the LeBrowns.
The asininity propelling this idea is qualitatively worse than a clearly-grasping-at-straws Michigan State fan base wondering openly if their future hall of fame basketball...
Make that 11, Manuel Joins Expanding List of IR Additions for the Lions

Over the last couple of days, the Lions added two DB’s to their IR list, Marquand Manuel and the recently-acquired-and-all-too-Lionesque-injured-on-his-first-play-in-uniform, Jack Williams. The Lions now have 11 players on IR, with Stephen Peterman and Ernie Sims also remaining...
Stafford Has Struggled Through Injuries, Inexperience, and Inconsistency, Lions Offensive Line Needs Scrutiny, Too

The Lions have been party to a great number of strange ideas, with which they have pursued their interminable rebuilding program, but the criminal negligence of paying a rookie, and burgeoning franchise Qb $70M to stand in the pocket and get brutalized 13+ times in Sunday’s game...

Well, Lions fans, it’s our favorite time of the year, the pre-Thanksgiving, we-are-mathematically-eliminated-from-the-playoffs-again, blues. In other words, aside from the slim probability of the Lions mustering a win Sunday at home against the Browns, the Lions are clearly postioning...

Well, the Lions lost their 17th-straight road game in Minneapolis on Sunday, are you surprised? Unfortunately, the game got away from the Lions during the second half. If anything, the stark gulf that divides the weak Lions personnel from nearly all other highly-functioning NFL franchises...
Week 10 Preview: Lions Vs. Vikings, Or This One Might Sting a Bit
10 days ago by
Detroit Lions Weblog

In 1997, the Lions won two games (road and home) against their intradivisional foe, the Vikings. Of course, there is their infamous 0-13 run in 2001, you know, during the Johnnie Morton-era, where the Lions got their first win against the Randy Moss-era Vikings at the Silverdome, who...
2009 Mid-Season Grades; Or Losing the Battle In an Attempt to Win the War

The 2009 Lions have struggled their way to a 1-7 start, nine weeks into their season, after finishing 0-16 in 2008, amid an incredibly awful 2-30 run in their last 32 games. I think most prognosticators likely had them predicted to be 2-6 at this point, and even the most optimistic...
After Suffering From a “Significant” Injury, Will Ernie Sims be “Wally Pipped” by Rookie DeAndre Levy?
11 days ago by

At the NFL trade deadline, with Ernie Sims’ underwhelming performance while injured, and the impressive early performance by rookie LB DeAndre Levy, there has been a growing belief that the Lions would parcel out Sims, since Levy appears to be capable of replacing a player who...

I have no interest in reality shows. The format for reality shows often are transparently cloying cash grabs, since they offer up a brand of cheap thrills, vapid, bread and circuses for it’s intended viewers, and are exceptionally cheap to film, thus providing high return on...
Stafford’s Five Picks Undo the Lions Quick Start in Road Loss
12 days ago by
Detroit Lions Weblog

Suggesting that Matthew Stafford’s brief career has been without bumps in the road would be sheer denial. That being said, as awful as Stafford looked in the second half of this Sunday’s loss, making sweeping judgments based on the performance of a rookie, who missed two...

After last Sundays’ horrible loss to a St. Louis Rams team, who had previously lost 17 straight games, saving the Rams from accomplishing a similar magnitude of embarrassment as the Lions have enjoyed amid this truly awful stretch of four (or five? or ten years? Who’s counting...
The Unreasonable Stupidity of Fans Turning on Matthew Stafford Already
17 days ago by
Detroit Lions Weblog

During Sunday’s game, after not playing for three and a half weeks, Matthew Stafford struggled delivering the ball accurately to his receivers. There is no denying that fact. His receivers were also culpable, too. Six dopped passes were unacceptable. That being said, the much...
The “Pride of the Lions” to Be Unveiled As Ford’s Grow Desperate for Attendance

Detroit Lions Weblog

The Lions organization has been criminally remiss in their acknowledgement of their once proud, and rich history as a franchise. Having won only one playoff game in 50 years and counting, the Lions are amid the worse run of ineptitude in professional sports history. The Lions front...

The revolving door of ineptitude continues to spin, out goes CB Demarcus Faggins, in comes CB Jason David. The Lions embattled secondary desperately needs to establish some shred of continuity, if it will ever perform competently during the remainder of the season.

Lions Prove Abysmal Against Rams, More Troubles Ahead?

Detroit Lions Weblog

Denial is a cruel, unrepentant and alluring shroud over the truth. I was among the many who desperately wanted to believe that the Lions have progressed in 2009, at least minimally, from last season’s historical and logic-defying 0-16 record. Unfortunately, after Sunday’...

After the dismal dual performances of both of the Lions backup QB’s, Daunte Culpepper and Drew Stanton, at Lambeau Field two weeks ago, which was truly a nightmare of Detmer-esque proportions, what once was considered an eminently winnable game at home against the St. Louis Rams...

With the Lions biggest news items being that Drew Stanton may have overtaken Daunte Culpepper as Matthew Stafford’s backup and that Jon Jansen may replace the Daniel Loper/Manny Ramirez revolving door at Left Guard, it is a little surprising that the Lions actually achieved a...
Lions Sign LB Circiu, Place DE Bryan on IR

Amid all of the flaming wreckage that was the Lions performance in Lambeau Field last week, it might be forgotten that the Lions have been absolutely devastated along their defensive line during recent weeks. Already a position where the team has operated from out of a significant...

Surprisingly, Lions GM Martin Mayhew stood pat on the NFL’s trade deadline day, yesterday. Mayhew has clearly established, during his brief time as the team’s chief personnel executive, that he is not afraid to tinker with the team’s roster (it has been his modus...
Jim Schwartz Faces First Real Challenge as Lions Head Coach

Detroit Lions Weblog

It comes as no surprise that the Lions were exquisitely putrescent in today’s game at Lambeau Field. That is par for the course over recent seasons during the team’s 18-season drought in winning games there. That being said, the team’s special teams struggles, poor...
Add Michael Oher to the List of Lions Misses? Trade Deadline Tuesday

It is no secret that the Lions have needed to upgrade their offensive line for years and years (and years…). They have had ample opportunity to draft a quality left offensive tackle, and have chosen to pass on that position during recent drafts.
Names like Joe Thomas, Ryan Clady...

Having last won a game at Lambeau Field in 1991, the Lions face a particularly daunting situation with the very realistic likelihood that they will be without rookie QB Matthew Stafford and superstar WR Calvin Johnson this Sunday.
The Packers, are not without flaws. Their offensive...
