Ways the Detroit Lions Can Achieve Six Wins Minimum

By

The Detroit Lions are a symbol of futility around the National Football League. Jim Schwartz and company are looking to change that perception this upcoming season. The Pittsburgh Pirates are seen much the same way in Major League baseball and have been buried in their division for well over a decade. In a strange scenario, the Detroit Lions have been penalized with such high … [Read more...] about Ways the Detroit Lions Can Achieve Six Wins Minimum

Time to draft another football team

By

By H. Jose Bosch For as long as I can remember December brings about more than snow and long, cold nights. It also brings an exciting free agency period. No, I’m not talking about MLB’s winter meetings. I’m talking about Lions fan free agency. Let’s face it: being a Lions fan sucks. I’ve met fans of the Browns, Bungles and Raiders who feel sorry for me. And it’s not … [Read more...] about Time to draft another football team

The Detroit Lions: Where Depression Happens

By

By H. Jose Bosch Now that the NFL Network has started to show Thursday Night games, the NFL has made an effort to make clever commercials to create buzz for each week’s game. This is no surprise as both NBC and ESPN do the same thing for their night games on Sunday and Monday nights. But why stop there? Sure, many of these games are key match ups but as the season … [Read more...] about The Detroit Lions: Where Depression Happens

Matthew Stafford is set up for failure

By

By H. Jose Bosch At least we know the Lions can score points when they’re spoon fed good field position. Unfortunately that’s about the only thing they could do right on Sunday afternoon. So, to quickly recap: the Lions best offense is a … bad opposing offense. I’m not even giving the defense credit when you consider what happened the rest of the game. But let’s zero … [Read more...] about Matthew Stafford is set up for failure

The Detroit Lions can’t get worse, but they aren’t any better

By

By H. Jose Bosch After watching the Lions-Redskins game I remember telling my dad that the Lions looked like they finally might be turning things around and it wasn’t just because they broke their putrid losing streak. What I saw was a quarterback that actually had potential and a coach you just might get more out of the players than his predecessors. If anything it just … [Read more...] about The Detroit Lions can’t get worse, but they aren’t any better

You should be excited for the Matt Stafford era

By

By H. Jose Bosch The Lions have made their final decision and decided to name Matthew Stafford as the starting quarterback. Well if this was Texas hold’em and I was placing my bet before the river, I’d be going all in with everything I owned. Yeah, I used a poker reference even though I know nothing about poker, but I’ve decided to use reckless abandon when throwing my … [Read more...] about You should be excited for the Matt Stafford era

Most Overlooked NFC North Storylines

By

By the TSB Staff The NFC North will undoubtedly be a reality series this fall with the Brett Favre-Minnesota Vikings story likely to be "the lead" all year in most NFL content-producing mediums. #1 overall draft pick Matt Stafford helping rebuild the Detroit Lions, Jay Cutler bringing the Chicago Bears solid quarterback play for the first time since the Industrial Revolution … [Read more...] about Most Overlooked NFC North Storylines

NFC North Predictions

By

By the The Sports Bank Staff 1. Chicago (10-6) Jay Cutler hoopla aside, remember one thing, this division isn’t very good. Best Quarterback=best chance at winning week to week. Yes, I know their receivers and overall pass rush is a hot mess, but who else really has the talent to beat a team that was 9-7 last year and greatly improved themselves? 2. Minnesota (9-7) Purple … [Read more...] about NFC North Predictions
