I wrote an early Lions Preview a little while back and now after the preseason, I feel some of the questions I was wondering have been answered. This Detroit Lions team appears to be a team that will be able to compete for wins on Sunday. I do not think they are a playoff team yet, but I feel they are on the verge of becoming one. A few quality players at certain positions and the Lions will be able to compete for the division.

Though the deadline for the first roster cuts is not until August 31st, the Broncos started trimming their roster a week early on Monday when the team announced they waived running back Toney Baker, offensive lineman Kirk Barton and wide receiver Patrick Carter. Baker joined the team as a college free agent after the draft [...]

This was a name that would aptly transfer to his football career where, as a high school, collegiate, [...]

I don’t want to completely write off the Lions 2010 season already, but let’s not kid ourselves: You don’t bounce back from seven years of Matt Millen overnight. I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a good chance the Lions will be a sub-.500 team again in 2010, and thus, there’s also a good chance that their streak of savage beatings on Thanksgiving Day will continue.

Cleveland Browns versus Pittsburgh Steelers 8:20 PM Thursday Night Football Remember last week, how everyone was saying that it was playoff time in Pittsburgh? Well, we’re going to take a mulligan on that one. This week in Cleveland it really is do or die time. The Steelers have to win out, along with having a [...]

Matthew Stafford, of the Detroit Lions, has had a rookie season that can best be described as trying. Both he and his team have struggled all season, which was expected by all observers. There was a time this season some thought Stafford would be shut down for the season as he struggled with a knee [...]

The Detroit Lions haven’t won a game in 21-months, 17 consecutive losses. One would think a struggling franchise, that managed to amass an unprecedented 0-16 in the 2008 season, would be ready to get back on the winning side of the track.
