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...

The Lions are on bye this week (week 7) and return home to take on the St. Louis Rams in week 8. Saying that the Rams game will be a mark in the win column is a bit premature. If Stafford is not back, the Lions could be stuck with Daunte Culpepper again. They need [...]
