Jim Schwartz’s Coy Attitude on Injuries Creating a Motown Monster
Published on: 21st October, 2009
Does anybody know how bad Matthew Stafford's knee injury is? Does anybody know when anybody on the Detroit Lions' injury list will be available to play? Yes. The players, the training staff, and head coach Jim Schwartz. But nobody else. What started as a smart tactic of withholding all but the most essential injury ...Detroit Lions’ Loss at Lambeau an Optimism-Shatterer
Published on: 19th October, 2009
There's no good news this week. As Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said, "You'll have a hard time finding the silver lining in this one." Wait, check that. The only good news is that the Lions didn't play the New England Patriots this week. Apparently shutouts come in much more humiliating packages. Still, ...Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers: Five Big Questions
Published on: 16th October, 2009
The last time the Detroit Lions won a game at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre was an Atlanta Falcon, Wayne Fontes was coaching, and Erik Kramer was starting for the Lions in place of the injured Rodney Peete. That was 1991. Since then, the Green Bay Packers have protected their home field 17 ...Detroit Lions Look For Redemption in Return to Lambeau Field
Published on: 15th October, 2009
This Sunday, the Detroit Lions will suit up to play the Green Bay Packers on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Lambeau Field is not a friend to the Lions. They haven't won a game there since 1991, chalking up 17 straight losses while surrounded by cheeseheads. This year, though, there's something ...Lions-Steelers: The Good, The Bad, and The Unusual
Published on: 12th October, 2009
Don’t worry; it’s not all bad. After shouting random profanities to an inanimate object (my TV screen) for about 15 minutes following the final tick of a Pittsburgh Steelers victory at Ford Field, my mind started functioning in a less primal way. That’s what I started thinking about something other than a ...Detroit-Pittsburgh: First Team to Overcome Second Half Stumbles Wins
Published on: 9th October, 2009
The Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers had very different fortunes last season. The Lions reached a historic low. The Steelers, a historic high. The Lions finished out their season 0-16, the first team ever to do so. The Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl, making them the team with the most ...The Detroit Lions’ Lengthy Injury Report Could Be a Good Thing
Published on: 8th October, 2009
The Detroit Lions' current injury report reads like a list of Lions impact starters. Matthew Stafford, Gosder Cherlius, Kevin Smith, Calvin Johnson, Grady Jackson, Sammie Lee Hill, Ernie Sims, and a handful of others populate the team's injured list, with various levels of practice participation between them. Some will play, some will ...Detroit Lions Beginning to Show Some Bad Habits in Loss to Bears
Published on: 6th October, 2009
If you’re a Detroit Lions fan, Sunday’s game sure looked familiar. Just like the home opener against the Vikings, the Lions looked almost playoff-caliber in the first half. And then the second half rolled around, and they didn’t. In the Vikings game, it was the defense that performed admirably in the first ...Detroit Lions Math Class: Four Steps for Turning One Win Into Two
Published on: 2nd October, 2009
Alright, that’s enough. If you’re still hungover from the Detroit Lions’ victory over the Washington Redskins, grab some coffee. We’re getting back to business. There are 13 more weeks of football to be played, so pay attention. The Lions played a good game last week, but it was full of holes. Even the ...Chuck Darby, Adam Jennings Signings Take Detroit Lions Back in Time
Published on: 30th September, 2009
Chuck Darby is once again a Detroit Lion. Is it 2008 again? No, can’t be, the Lions have a tally in the win column, and Rod Marinelli will be coaching on the opposite sideline this Sunday. So if Marinelli is over there, what is Chuck Darby doing over here? And I distinctly recall ...Featured Sponsors
