It happens to the best of them.There is no player that will not find himself replaced on the roster at some point in time; it just happens at different times for different players.The Detroit Lions have no shortage of players on their way out the door, though many of them ...Published on: 20th October, 2010
Last Sunday, it happened again. The Detroit Lions defense took the field. The opposing quarterback, Eli Manning in this instance, ran a few offensive plays against a very aggressive, very effective defensive front. Manning found himself sacked. With his pocket collapsing on nearly every play, Manning needs to slow that pass rush. ...Published on: 5th October, 2010
After watching four games of Detroit Lions football, a very important fact has dawned on me. The Lions, after so many years of losing, are allergic to leads. Seriously, think about it. They seem to avoid taking the lead in any football game, and when they do have them, they have a ...Published on: 30th September, 2010
The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are probably looking at a mismatched game this Sunday. Aaron Rodgers against one of the worst back seven in the NFL. The Lions struggling, shorthanded offense against the Packers thriving sack-machine of a defense. The Lions defensive line vs. the Packers offensive line. Wait a minute. ...Published on: 29th September, 2010
The more I analyze the Detroit Lions' matchup against the Green Bay Packers this weekend, the more I'm certain I've seen it before. It's all there. The Lions are missing their starting quarterback and possibly another star offensive weapon. The Packers are playing as if the only team that's going ...Published on: 20th September, 2010
The Detroit Lions-Philadelphia Eagles game took a bit of a toll on me, in case you missed it. A second straight week of near-miss comeback attempts was almost too much for me to take, and I went on a tirade, both here and on Twitter (self-promotion FTW). The worst part about the ...Published on: 16th September, 2010
The San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks game likely opened a lot of eyes on the West Coast.Most of those were in Seattle. I'm guessing most of the eyes in San Francisco were tightly shut by the fourth quarter.But regardless of location, it's hard to find an NFL fan who wasn't a ...Published on: 16th September, 2010
That I have any respect or esteem whatsoever for Michael Vick makes me really angry at myself. It's not what you think, though. Even before his—ahem—"legal issues," I had very little respect for him as a quarterback. Quarterbacks, I thought, did not get paid to rush for 150 yards per game ...Published on: 14th September, 2010
First, take that red flag popping up in the back of your mind and burn it, along with the words "quarterback controversy."I'll tell you what this isn't, and that's me saying that Matthew Stafford won't be missed, or that Shaun Hill isn't a step down in talent level.No, regardless of ...Published on: 12th September, 2010
Forgive me for an angry rant. It has just been a bad day. The happiest I was today was when the Detroit Lions scored with about 90 seconds left in the first half. It definitely looked like Honolulu Blue was going to march into the locker room with a 14-3 lead. And ...
