Lions @ Bears, Will it be ugly?

The Lions have been terrible early in games this year.  Earlier this year the Lions were killed early by Chicago in Detroit.  This time we travel to Soldier Field where the atmosphere is always hostile.  With a young QB at the helm, I am not sure the offense will be able to handle the crowd [...]

Daunte Culpepper worked out for the Detroit Lions this week.  This causing debate amongst the Lions faithful (yes, there still are plenty of Lions faithful).  This brings the question of “Is Culpepper the Answer?”.

I really do not see the need to bring in Daunte Culpepper.  He was a great player in [...]

Marshall Faulk made this comment regarding Santana Moss’ punt return in Week 8.
The Detroit Lions should give their fans their money back and forfeit the rest of their games. That isn’t right.
While that comment was extreme, he is correct about the effort the Lions are putting in.  The special teams was the one bright spot [...]

The lowly Lions played a better game today against the Washington Redskins but still dropped to 0-7.  The Lion could be in a struggle not to hit the shameful 0-16 mark for the season.
The Lions lost 25-17 to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins improve to 6-2 with this big road win.

The Lions are in for a tough contest this week against the 5-2 Redskins.  Last time the Skins and Lions met it wasn’t even close.  The Skins destroyed the Lions 34-3 last season.
The First Quarter…
The main key to the Lions breaking the goose egg for the season is maintaining the first quarter.  The Lions have [...]

Tuesday Hang-Over: Week 7

Posted by Mack

October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

The Lions are 0-6.  0 wins. 0 first quarter points all year. 
All I can say is the Lions looked like a team that could not have competed in NFL Europe in Week 7.  The entire team didn’t show up until the second half.  The offense and defense started playing better but it was too late because the Texan [...]

Texans Beat The Lions: Week 7

Complete NFL Play by Play 
Detroit came out of the gate like a donkey in a horse race.  It was 7-0 for the 1-4 Houston Texans within the first minute.  The defense looked terrible allowing a long run to Steve Slaton and then left Owen Daniels wide open for a simple touchdown.
The next series for the Lions defense was equally dismal.  [...]

October 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Week 7 in the lowly Lions schedule brings the almost as lowly Houston Texans (1-4).  This game is a must win for the Lions because the rest of the schedule is a nightmare.  Every remaining game after Week 7 features an opponent is .500 or better.  Without a win this week there could be talk [...]

Did Roy Williams want out of Detroit?  He stated a number of time publicly that Detroit was where he wanted to be.  According to Drew Stanton’s blog, Roy Williams wanted out of Detroit.
Plain and simple, Roy did not want to be here any longer and was going to demand an insane amount of money if there [...]
