What exactly did we say in our pre-game analysis of the Detroit Lions? I believe it was that each team should stick to their strengths and be themselves. Well, the San Francisco 49ers played the way they should and the Lions tried to be somebody they’re not. I know the basis behind “establish the run, [...]
Sunday night, primetime football. The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers will be lined up head-to-head in “game of the week” fashion come 8pm tomorrow. Matthew Stafford will look to overpower Patrick Willis and the Niners defense with their yet-to-be-seen lethal offense. So what does each team need to do in order secure a victory? [...]
Tim Fuller–US PRESSWIRE The Detroit Lions may have a daunting task ahead of them this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. As if the running combo of Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter wasn’t enough, the Lions will have to stop a more dynamic passing attack as well. Niners QB Alex Smith has been surrounded with [...]
When The University Of Michigan opened up their season against the Alabama Crimson Tide, many in the state of Michigan were quite optimistic. Why shouldn’t they have been? They have Heisman hopeful Denard Robinson, and though he doesn’t have the best arm in all the land, he has pure athleticism that can torch almost any [...]
No need to sound the alarm just yet. While Calvin Johnson did sit out the Detroit Lions practice this Wednesday, he was seen holding a clipboard, working with the wide receivers group.

But in the blink of an eye things changed, with Stafford throwing his first of three first half interceptions–one returned for [...]
The hype, the crowd noise, the anticipation to the Detroit Lions 2012 season opener all diminished by halftime against the St. Louis Rams. The lethal passing attack stymied by the Rams pesky defense was almost enough to put the game away. Matthew Stafford threw three first half interceptions, the first one on the goal line [...]
With the Detroit Lions suffering losses to the secondary in the preseason, it has been a tough road already–and it’s only week 1. Specifically, rookie cornerback Bill Bentley and Chris Houston, another cornerback, were just two of the casualties against the Oakland Raiders. Bentley, who suffered a shoulder injury, has been back at practice all this week, and [...]
Much is being made about the lack of depth at the running back position for the Detroit Lions. With Jahvid Best being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, and Mikel Leshoure missing the first two games of the regular season due to a suspension, the Lions begin the season already thin in [...]
The Detroit Lions have named six captains for the upcoming 2012 season. Each year, the players on the team vote for the captains, making the honor even more rewarding, knowing that coaches and players alike have their respect–both on and off the field. It was important for the Lions to select players that provide the [...]
