Well, well here comes a dose of ‘reality’ to our optimistic version of the 2014 Lions brought to you by the NFL schedule.  Anyone notice the the Chicago Bears are not dead and buried?  The Lions resurrected visions of the ‘good ole days’ of harmful penalties, poor pass protection, questionable play calling and  an untimely […]

The game was exciting but another last minute ‘save’ leaves the lingering question: How will the Lions do against a team who stops the overall passing and running game?  The Lion’s ‘short’ pass defence was lacking.   Also,  R. Bush did not seem quite ‘up to speed’.  At first glance the remaining schedule looks favourable for […]

Wow.  What else describes the Lion’s game in London.  First we must graciously acknowledge the ‘gifts’ from the Atlanta Falcons.  Almost to many to mention but the last two minutes deserve star accolades.  Lousy time management of the clock and the stupid penalties  Matt Ryan’s team mates rise to the top of the heap. Now […]

The Lions are personally indebted to the Saints and referees for the early Christmas gifts in Sunday’s game.  The ‘pass interference’ call on 4th down was truly a gift.  And then, D. Brees avoiding a sack by putting the ball in play for an easy interception was unfathomable  and  beyond comprehension.  Some kind of ‘Brain […]

Fellow fans, Well, here we go again.  Last week’s game had to be one of the most boring I can remember.  The minute Henry missed the first field goal, the final sore was never in doubt.  Lose it by 3 points on a last second field goal by the opposition.  Six points by the offence […]

Welcome to our 58th year of a ‘rebuilt’ Lions team. For all of you with short memories, a previous Lion’s team started the regular season 4-0. From there to the agonizing seasons’ end, we fans suffered delusion, frustration and self pity before finally recognizing we were suckered into just another Lion’s ongoing fable of pretending […]

To the bitter end I did watch. Only the Lions could negate a good punt with an obsecure penalty. Stafford contined in the first half to throw off his back foot. You knew what was coming when they had a 6 point lead in the closing minutes. Been there done that. Perfect execution by Rodgers […]

Classic Detroit Lion’s performance. Outstanding execution on how-to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. So much credit to go around. Start with spastic performance from Stafford, mix in a healty does of ‘drop-itus’ by your star receiver “Megatron”, pourous secondary pass defense, usual quota of ‘stupid’ penalties, failure to adjust play calling, and inopportune […]

Location prevented me from watching the ‘Snow Bowl’ game in Philadelphia. Good thing in retrospect. Saved a few hairs I have left. Pathetic but classic Lion’s football. Now all we have to do is wait for the final ‘shoe’ to drop and then the ‘coulda, shoulda, woulda’ program will ensue. There is always our 58th […]

Ok, it’s a win, however sloppy, it still counts. Commiting four turnovers will get you a loss most of the time. Do not forget the ‘missed’ field goals. Stafford and the receivers still look a little ‘off’ even though he passed for 300+ yards. R. Bush needs a ‘do-over’ on his goal of not fumbling […]
