In 2005, I saw the Lions host the Ravens at Ford Field. During that game, the Ravens got flagged over and over again, and the icing on the cake was when one or two of them got tossed after playing...

There's a difference between playing with fire and playing dumb.

Playing with fire is playing with such intensity that you get called for a late hit or encroachment now and then. Playing dumb...

Suh doing what he did is all the more frustrating because he has so much talent that he doesn't need to go overboard to be a force. It'd be one thing if this had been Cory Redding or some other...

One of the things that has been Schwartz's successes here has been that he gets the players to play all out. For fans that had to watch season after season of players mailing it in before the bye,...

Tebow looked terrible for 55 minutes and brilliant for 5 minutes against a Miami Dolphins team that hadn't yet [[and still hasn't) won a game. Yet the entire week afterward, all anybody could talk...

The Lions were all set to acquire Ronnie Brown by trading Jerome Harrison and a 7th round pick, until the trade was voided because of Harrison failing his physical.

Turns out they discovered that...

I don't know, I guess I'm not all that OK with Schwartz jawing at other coaches or other players during the game. He did it during the Dallas game where he was laying it on Dez Bryant after the...

Goat, I agree that the o-line was unreliable, but I remember reading somewhere recently [[can't remember where) that more fan bases than not think that their offensive lines suck. The fact is that...

I agree with gnome, Stafford didn't have 'it' yesterday. He always seemed just a half step behind. I thought taking the safety was something that could have been avoided. I also didn't care at all...

OK, I just couldn't resist going back to the thread created right after Stafford was drafted.

The first half was frustrating, because all they kept talking on TV about with regards to the offense, was how Stafford didn't look comfortable. Why didn't they point out that the offensive line...

It can't be any worse than trying to watch a Tigers - Indians game when they're at Jacobs Field [[or whatever they call it now) and having to listen to that moron that pounds the bass drum whenever...

I agree with this 100%. They spent a LOT of time on those sadsack faces in the audience and it was nice to see that it wasn't us!

There were a few more "Suuuuuuuhhhhhhhh"'s coming from the crowd...

Various thoughts in no particular order.

1. The Lions are 3-0 and came back from a twenty point deficit. When was the last time either of those things was a remote possibility?

2. Backus was...

Can we make it two in a row on McNabb?

That's the question I'll be looking for with this week's Vikings game. McNabb and the Vikings have struggled. Last year, McNabb was supposed to be the...

I'll start with your last sentence. I too am not going to increase my expectations of the season after what I've seen the last two weeks. It's awesome that they're 2-0 and it's great that they have...

Poor Matt Cassel. He's going to take the brunt of Gunther Cunningham's wrath of being accused of tampering. Cunningham can spin for the press all he wants about how there's no 'revenge' factor, but...

I agree with Thruster315 a hundred percent. It would be one thing if Cherilus was a dominant right tackle, but he's not. He's proven very little, has probably been seen as one of the weakest and...

Almost every Super Bowl team has that one guy that came out of nowhere to be that missing piece of the puzzle. The guy drafted in the 7th round or the rookie free agent or the guy that used to work...

Not sure about this. I think Mayhew looks at one thing when deciding to bring a player in: Can this player help our football team?

If the talent is there, if the locker room fit is there, if...

No chance of a sellout. WXYZ is showing the game at 9:30 which is delayed due to blackout rules. So you can listen to the radio / follow online and catch up with highlights, or go into media...

Cool. I saw this on MLive a couple of days ago. My guess is that Niswanger would be in the rotation for the two backup spots mentioned at the end of the paragraph. Seems both he and Gandy could...

Well as you probably know the Lions picked up both Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell. I remember those guys more from fantasy football because in each case [[more so Harrison) they came out of nowhere...

I never had a problem with the initial five year contract. Anything less than that would have been seen as half-a$$. But, the part that never made any sense was when he was re-upped for another...

I like the top three picks, which is all that will probably make any sort of an impact next year. They can now mark these positions as mostly complete: QB, RB, WR, TE, FB. That only leaves the...
