No denying this game against Tampa’s bucs was J. Goff’s best performance as a Lion’s QB. He compensated for the loss of the Lion’s run game in superlative fashion. Passes were spread across receivers and throws were eloquently threaded between defenders. Receivers adjusted to variations in pass trajectory and maintained control for completions. Textbook execution. […]

Classic way of ‘getting it done’. Stat’s differential are similar until you get to the ‘rushing’ and ‘turnover’ column. Built upon the back of Montgomery’s running, Goff distributed the passing game all around. He refrained from desperation tosses and took some classic hits from Panther’s defence. Good sign of toughness and game ‘smarts’. Lion’s offensive […]

The Lion’s game at Green Bay started with a cruel, sadistic ‘poke in the eye’ miscue. Then the Lion’s defensive tide rolled in to drown Green Bay’s perpetual 12th man stadium crowd. Oh how bitter the bile of watching your Packers manage 20 yards of offence and 2 first downs in the game’s first half. […]

This was a genuine ‘fun’ game to watch even though trepidation lurked in the background of seasoned Lion’s fans. What prompted the frenetic, swarming defence to show up for the Lion’s game against Atlanta? Let’s hope it was the resolution and resurrection of execution from days of yore. Repeat performances against seasoned, strong offensive schemes […]

Looking at game stats, the game was a ‘toss-up’ until you factor in turnovers. Both teams posted large passing yardage with modest running games. Detroit Lion’s glaring weakness in the defensive secondary against Seattle’s passing game was on full display. This is not to say the Seahawks did not prove much of a barrier to […]

Well, well, well, hell can freeze over and the Detroit Lions can play football. Who could have guessed. For beleaguered Lion’s fans this performance shaped up to be an all to familiar scenario. Then the haunting legacy ‘Demons’ were seemingly, at least temporarily, put out to pasture and our Lions defeated last year’s Super Bowel […]

After a quick look at the stats you might think Green Bay won the game but ‘turnovers’ were what sealed the deal for Detroit. Early on Goff was slightly erratic and the Lions did not molest Rodgers. As Detroit’s running game gained traction, momentum seemed to shift. Hutchington’s efforts reduced Rodgers the luxury of time […]

Regaling after the Bear’s game was enjoyable to say the least. Initially, that ‘ole’ pattern of Lion’s play looked to rear it’s ugly head. But then “surprise”, the ‘No Mas’ attitude rose from the graveyard of historical Lion’s ugly losing history. Once you get em down, finish the job. How satisfying. The final game against […]

If you’ve been Lion’s fan for any time in the last 50 years, this did not come as a surprise. Last week was an example of “guess who came to play today?”. Against the Jets, rose petals and champagne were warranted. However, our local boys failed to show-up playing the Panthers. This game was ceded […]

Did the Lions play exceptionally well or did the Vikings play poorly? For certain the Lions never let up and forced the Vikings to play ‘catch-up’ ball. Most glaring difference was rushing yardage. Passing yardage favored the Vikings. Goff continued to take what the Vikings allowed. Initially, ‘stupid’ Detroit penalties portended an almost preordained conclusion. […]
