When the Detroit Lions visit Green Bay it gives the media a chance to show off a bunch of unique statistics in the NFL, a league which has become defined by parity. The recent past between the Lions and Packers has nothing to do with parity. The Lions haven't won in the state of Wisconsin since 1991, back when Barry Sanders was breaking ankles and dropping the jaw of … [Read more...] about The odds are stacked in the Packers’ favor against the Detroit Lions

What should the Detroit Lions do with their first two draft picks?
Why do I have the Detroit Lions going O Line in both of the first two rounds of the NFL Draft? Am I nuts? Well, probably, but not because of my mock draft.

Who is the Best Running Back in the NFC North?
Jay Cutler was taking care of business for the Chicago Bears. He will be sidelined during the upcoming week with his broken thumb. His entire season is actually in question due to the "ailment."

It's just too bad the team did not play as well as Adams gets down. … [Read more...] about Bears DT Anthony Adams: (Gut Busting Dance Video)
Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
Stop us if you heard this before- Jay Cutler didn't have much a pocket to work with, and his receivers did very little to help him. Matthew Stafford (19-26-219-1-2), on the other hand, actually had some protection, and his two TD passes put Detroit ahead in the third. Jahvid Best’s (12-163-1) 88-yard run later in the third quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead, and they … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
