Week 4 Recap: Lions Lose Shoot Out With Rams, 41-34
I see improvement. The Lions offense is clearly in synch with the Mike Martz system and players who “fit the roles” are stepping up. The Lions traded punches all day long with the St. Louis Rams, but in the end the Lions defense was worse than the Rams defense, and the Honolulu Blue got the […]

Lions Cut Corey Bradford
Corey Bradford, a rather high profile free agent acquisition for the Lions in the off-season, is gone. The team cut Bradford earlier today.

Are The Lions In Dream Land?
Right now, if you were to speak to Detroit Lions players, you would never believe that they are 0-3. They are extremely confident and they firmly believe that they are on the brink of busting out. It’s not just Roy Williams and his insane comments about how close they were to beating the Bears (they […]

Final Thoughts On Charles Rogers
As you all know by now, the Detroit Lions waived wide receiver Charles Rogers on Saturday. This was widely anticipated, given Charles’ lack of playing time in the pre-season, and his “nagging injuries” that kept him from practicing.

Marinellis On A Plane
Much has been made about coach Rod Marinelli’s decision to fly the Lions into Oakland, play a pro football game and then fly the team back All On The Same Day. His reasoning behind this was reportedly to show the team some adversity before the season began. Well folks, it worked!
The Lions were sluggish in […]

Some Humor To Ease The Pain
A good friend (and Chicago Bears fan) e-mailed me this bit of humor this morning. It’s damn funny. I also have no idea who wrote it, or what web site it came from. If you know (or wrote this) let me know so I can give credit where credit (or blame) is due. So here […]
