The 2018 NFL Draft is officially over, and the Lions ended up with a pretty good haul. Rather than grading each pick, I will just share my general thoughts on this year’s Lions draft as a whole. Watching the Lions attempt to run the football the last several years has been an absolute joke, and that might be an understatement. Whether it was watching guys get hit behind the line of scrimmage before they even had a chance to make a play, or not being able to pick up a yard on 3rd and short, and all of the other flaws their running game has presented. I mean, just take a look at the Lions team r ..read more

The Lions Super Bowl week is here, NFL Draft week that is. As long as a tight end isn’t chosen with the 20th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Lions fans shouldn’t be all that upset. Now I’m no draft expert, and I don’t dissect film on each and every prospect. I leave that up to the guys who get paid to do it, and NFL Draft Twitter folks as many of them definitely do know what the hell they are talking about. I have a few prospects I like just from reading up on them, watching their highlights, and watching them during college football season. Those are guys like Saquon Barkley, Harold Landry, Mo Hu ..read more

Thanks to an Adam Schefter tweet this morning, we have found out the Detroit Lions are interested in free agent cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman has told Josina Anderson of ESPN that he has received preliminary interest from the Titans, Lions Raiders, Texans, Buccaneers, and the 49ers. This could mean nothing, and it probably is nothing, but it’s definitely a fun scenario to think about. Darius Slay and Richard Sherman in the same secondary? I like the sound of that. What do you think? UPDATE: 2:54 PM Tom Pelissero of NFL Network has reported that Richard Sherman will visit with the Lions ..read more

I’m willing to bet that the Lions fanbase can drink alcohol with the best of them, so New Year’s Eve was probably a good night for the majority of this fanbase. Luckily, Bob Quinn made that New Year’s Day hangover worth it though by officially firing Jim Caldwell. What a FANTASTIC way to kick off 2018. Now, I could just go on and on about all the flaws Caldwell had as a head football coach, but that isn’t what this is about. In the end, Caldwell is a good man, who just didn’t know how to correctly make in-game football decision, get eleven men on the field, start the game off hot, etc. It was ..read more

It’s funny that there’s a narrative out there that Matthew Stafford can’t win a big game on the road. There are plenty of flaws with that “stat” and the first one is that, no matter what the sport, pinning a loss on one player is asinine; especially in the NFL. I mean, look at the Los Angeles Chargers and Philip Rivers this season as he has put them in position to win two important games, and both were wiped away by a missed field goal. The other flaw with the “games won against winning teams” stat is that it counts as the team’s record at the END OF THE SEASON, and not when the said player (S ..read more

As you all know, the Detroit Lions kicked off their season on Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals. The start of the game was shaky, and we’ll get to that, but looking at it two days later, the Lions put together one hell of a performance in a game where they were a two-point underdog.   The GOOD: Defense, defense, and defense. Going into this game, the general consensus was the defense was going to struggle, and they responded with the exact opposite. The pass rush was very effective, as it seemed like Carson Palmer was being hurried every other snap. It doesn’t show on the sta ..read more

Week 3 of the NFL Preseason is generally the game where the starters get to see their most action. Once it was announced the Lions would be hosting the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots for the week 3 exhibition game, we knew it would be an interesting look.  Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback ever. The Lions defense is not good. The New England Patriots might not lose a football game this season. It was not surprising to see the Patriots and Brady have their way with the Lions young and mediocre defense. With all that said, it is not a good look for the Lions defense ..read more

Yes, we all heard the hype surrounding Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron and honestly he hasn’t lived up to the hype that was expected from him when the Lions drafted him with the tenth overall pick in 2014. Ebron had a lot of hype after leaving UNC a year early and declaring for the NFL draft. He recorded 112 receptions, 1,805 yards, and 8 touchdowns during his three years of college football. Very impressive numbers during his college career, so of course he was highly scouted coming into the NFL. As you can guess when the Detroit Lions drafted Eric Ebron, a lot was expected from him, from ..read more

As reported earlier today by ESPN’s Michael Rothstein, former Lions LB DeAndre Levy has filed an injury grievence against the team.  In Rothstein’s piece he sites that according to Levy himself, he wasn’t healthy when the Lion’s cleared him to return for the last 5 weeks of the 2016 season.  Furthermore, Levy claimed that he also wasn’t healthy when the team surprisingly decided to cut him early this offseason even though the Lions said he was. “I’ve played through a ton of stuff that, the injury report probably tells half the story. I’m battling every day; I put in a lot o ..read more
