The Bills look good. Yes, you read that correctly. It's only two weeks into the season, but the Buffalo Bills sit atop the AFC East as one of only five teams who are 2-0 heading into a Monday night showdown between the Colts and Eagles. On a day where Bills fans were not only able to celebrate the tremendous strength of Jim Kelly and the fact that they'll remain in Buffalo … [Read more...] about Buffalo Bills: this defense is for real

Keys for a Detroit Lions Playoff Upset
The Lions should be playing the New York Giants this weekend. I have mentioned that the team was hoodwinked out of multiple victories last season against the Bears. Well, it happened once again last weekend against the Green Bay Packers. There was a touchdown to Titus Young that was not ruled as a reception. Detroit succumbed to the Packers by four points and wound up against … [Read more...] about Keys for a Detroit Lions Playoff Upset
Detroit Lions Should Not Fear the Black Hole
The Carson Palmer acquisition is a disaster for the Oakland Raiders; at a time when success at that position is needed more than ever. And Darren McFadden is not bailing out the quarterback any more. The Raiders precipitous fall from grace is especially hard to swallow for their passionate fan base after the passing of their iconic owner Al Davis. The paragraphs that follow … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions Should Not Fear the Black Hole
Ndamukong Suh Apology for Appalling Actions Falls Flat
Ndamukong Suh is the most talented defensive player in the NFL. In addition, he is emotionally unstable and unwilling to be accountable for his actions. In a postgame press conference, he attempted to explain away why he was slamming an opposing player’s head in to the ground before stomping on him after the completion of a play. That was almost as appalling as the fans’ … [Read more...] about Ndamukong Suh Apology for Appalling Actions Falls Flat
Detroit Lions Hold the Lead, Close the Deal
The Lions looked to be the better team for the entire portion of the game on Sunday and were able to hold on for the victory against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Matthew Stafford threw for over three hundred yards and passed for three touchdowns. He beat out his fellow first round pick of a few years ago, Josh Freeman. It is true that the former does have substantially more weapons, but … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions Hold the Lead, Close the Deal
Detroit Lions are Legitimate Contenders in the NFC North
Defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh recently stated that he would not change his style of play, even though he was fined by the league for another vicious hit. Everything Roger Goodell’s office does is not always fair though, as we have previously seen with the Terrelle Pryor five game suspension. This is tremendous news for Michiganders, who are poised for Tigers postseason … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions are Legitimate Contenders in the NFC North
Two Former MSU Spartans help Detroit Lions end Road Losing Streak
Sports fans in Tampa Bay proved their futility once again by leaving large areas of their cavernous stadium empty despite their home team entering this game with a 8-5 record. This is one reason why the Red Sox and Yankees are set to regain control of the AL East (just like old times, but that's another discussion) The approximately 48,000 who did show were treated to some … [Read more...] about Two Former MSU Spartans help Detroit Lions end Road Losing Streak
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. The latter’s fans were out in full … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions: A Case of Good News and Bad News
Stafford Thrusts New Life Into Detroit
Calvin Johnson caught three touchdown passes for the first time in his young but illustrious career. He was close to having four, but Matthew Stafford was intercepted in the corner of the end zone during the first half going for broke. Calvin Johnson plays the wide receiver position with reckless abandon, much like Adrian Peterson does at running back. It is simply a matter of … [Read more...] about Stafford Thrusts New Life Into Detroit
Detroit and Washington: Aficionados of the Two Point Conversion
Fans watch the NFL to see football played at the highest level in the world. Granted, only 42,329 attended the tilt between the Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions on Sunday, but they came for the aforementioned reason nonetheless. Calvin Johnson showed tremendous athleticism and Matthew Stafford made a triumphant return to Ford Field. Jim Schwartz and Mike Shanahan took a … [Read more...] about Detroit and Washington: Aficionados of the Two Point Conversion
