Green Bay Back in Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood
After two straight losses to the Lions and Patriots, the Packers playoff hopes were dwindling. Not only did they lose to a team who hadn't won a game against an NFC North opponent in almost three years, they were without their starting QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion). While back-up QB Matt Flynn filled in more than admirably against the Patriots, it was evident on the last drive … [Read more...] about Green Bay Back in Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood

Shaun Hill lined up under center once again for the Detroit Lions on Sunday in their quest to take down the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium in Broward County, Florida.

Ndamukong Suh, being “Ndominating” in otherwise Bleak Lions Season
Let's get this out of the way now. Ndamukong Suh has the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award wrapped up. No one else is even close. He's been one of the few bright spots in a long Detroit Lions season. (Although by Lions standards, this is a much better season than usual- only three of their ten losses have been by nine or more points). At six-feet-four and 305 pounds, … [Read more...] about Ndamukong Suh, being “Ndominating” in otherwise Bleak Lions Season

Detroit Lions: A Case of Good News and Bad News
The Detroit Lions held the lead heading into the fourth quarter once again this week, but (as expected) lost it. Despite their two and ten record through twelve games, the Lions were able to attract over fifty eight thousand fans out to Ford Field Sunday for their intra-divisional matchup with the geographically attractive Chicago Bears.

Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
The Detroit Lions fell flat on the biggest stage of the season for that franchise. I am talking about a figurative stage, not the one that Michigan born and bred Kid Rock performed on during the half. In fairness, the team did play well for the majority of the game. They did, however, fall flat on their face during the latter moments of play on Thursday. The few bright spots of … [Read more...] about Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys: Mirror Images
Two teams that matched up this past Sunday have much in common. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys both have anemic records: the Lions are 2-8, the Cowboys are 3-7 this season. They should have the same record, but NFL officials cannot agree on what a catch is. The traditional teams playing on Thanksgiving, they are undoubtedly the turkeys of their respective divisions this … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys: Mirror Images
Brett Favre Is A Better Bargain Than Matthew Stafford
Jenn Sterger recently met with NFL officials for three hours in an undisclosed location in New York. It is arguable what's the bigger issue for Favre: this or the Minnesota Vikings current record of 3-5? Their opponent, the monsters of the midway are actually limping into the game even though their wins and losses are inverse of the Vikings. Most sports books in Las Vegas … [Read more...] about Brett Favre Is A Better Bargain Than Matthew Stafford
Ndamukong Suh’s Prediction Doesn’t Come to Fruition
Nearly fifty eight thousand fans experienced heartache on Sunday at Ford Field. Ndamukong Suh recently made some comments indicating that the Detroit Lions would not lose another game at their home stadium this season. Unfortunately, he is already putting his foot in his mouth. He hopefully will remove it soon though since it's evident that he's the emergency kicker on the … [Read more...] about Ndamukong Suh’s Prediction Doesn’t Come to Fruition
