Revolving WRs: Lions Waive Az Hakim
Okay I am not even going to try and make sense of this. Apparently the Detroit Lions waived Az Hakim yesterday. Um… Why? He’s played well and he knows the Mike Martz passing game better than any of the wide receivers.
So anyway, Hakim is gone (as is Shaun Bodiford, who was picked up immediately […]

Wishful Thinking On A Bye - Fire Millen & The Tampa 2
Okay, with the Lions on a bye, and the team at 1-6, you would think that now might be the perfect time to fire team CEO/GM Matt Millen. I don’t want to get personal (I’m sure he’s a nice guy) but the truth is that he hasn’t gotten the job done. Millen inherited a 9-7 […]

Jets Outscore The Lions 31-24
Is it me or is it Groundhog’s Day? It seems like every Lions game (except for week one) has been the same. The Lions defense can’t seem to slow any team down, and no matter how many points the offense puts up, they aren’t enough. Sure, the Lions outlasted the Bills last week, but this […]

Talk Is Cheap - Time For The Lions To Win Or Change
I’ve promised an in-depth view on the Detroit Lions for some time. I’ve put it off long enough. Here’s what I think.
The Lions seem to be two different teams right now. They are the tough talking, Rod Marinelli driven “old school” defense that favors “pounding the rock” and managing the clock. That old school team […]

Bryson Done For The Year, Lions Sign Arlen Harris
Shaun Bryson’s year is over. The Lions put the versatile runningback on the Injured Reserve list yesterday. Bryson has performed well for the Lions this year, but he suffered a knee injury against Buffalo.
The team re-signed veteran back Arlen Harris to fill in for Bryson in two-back situations. Harris is more adept at picking […]

Shaun Rogers Gets 4 Game Suspension
ESPN is reporting that Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Shaun Rogers has been suspended for four games by the league. Reportedly, the suspension is for violation of the steroid and related substances policy. Although this has not been confirmed, it looks like this was a case of Rogers using a substance that was not a steroid, but […]

Finally! Lions Defeat The Bills 20 - 17!
Whew. We can all finally exhale. The Lions will NOT go winless in 2006. The Lions defeated the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, 20-17.
Okay… I may be a big dork for being excited about a minor win like this, but c’mon, cut me some slack. Us Lions fans haven’t exactly had much to cheer about […]
