Gentle Lion’s fans, A quick reminder that over the last 63 years of ‘rebuilding’ we have seen this train leave the station before. Yes, the Lion’s are undefeated so far BUT to many unanswered questions remain. Sunday’s game was won by Stafford’s passing. Just check out the ‘rushing stats’. Eagles offense was much more balanced. […]

Ugly does not even describe this game. Your ‘bingo’ card of penalties would be a sure ‘coverall’. A premonition of disaster started with the missed PAT on the Lion’s first touchdown. Stafford’s time to throw was minuscule compared to the time Rivers enjoyed. If this performance was the new and improved Lions, get ready for […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, Well here we go again. Another innovative way to make a loser team look good. Never one to let a game escape into the ‘win’ column, our beloved Lions continue to evolve. For starters, we watch a rookie quarterback flounder on trying to pass down the middle. When he switches to slant […]

The answer will be displayed in the final Green Bay game. For the Viking’s game you needed a “barf bag” compliments of the airlines. Fortunately, I only saw bits and pieces of the game due to a travel schedule and that was more than enough. Review of the game statistics drove home the picture of […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, Finally the hopes and dreams of another season of disappointment are relegated to the trash heap of expectations. Yes, there are still two games remaining for current players to demonstrate their worth for another year’s employment. Nothing else left but hype and bloviating about our upcoming 63rd year of rebuilding. This game […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, The blog was “dark” for two weeks.  Thanksgiving’s game caused so much gastric re flux that it could not be put into words.  No TV availability last week prohibited meaningful commentary.  However, this weeks game against the Cardinals was just plain boring.  Just what you would expect from two out of contention […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, Detroit had a running game until the injury of Johnson. Bleak omen for the rest of the season. Blount seems to second guess his self to much and gets stuffed. Third down conversion are still miserable. Touchdown opportunities need to be ‘cashed in’ instead of settling for field goals. Major weakness against […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, If you had any doubts, this game punctuated all the flaws, shortcoming and fallacious enthrallment about this being the season of recovery. Stafford continued to function as a pinata. Hopefully, he survives to seasons’ end. Even though the Lions are weak in many areas, this game squarely falls on the entire coaching […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, The Vikings put an end to this seasons’ pipe dream of a ‘work in progress’. Little did we know that Stafford was put on a ‘run for your life’ or ‘eat dirt’ diet. The harbinger of futility was evident on the very first play of the game. How do you have a […]

Gentle Lion’s fans, It’s really hard to be a Detroit Lion’s fan without a masochist’s personality flaw. Sunday’s game against Seattle was made to order. Stafford did his magic for the games first score and then team ‘B’ showed up. Seahawk’s running backs must have been exhausted exploiting Detroit’s defense against their ‘run game’. No […]
