In perhaps what has been the most active offseason for the Detroit Lions, one has to wonder if Martin Mayhew and Company are actually building the team to get to the playoffs in 2010. Before anyone calls me crazy, I'm not recanting my hope they go 8-8. I still agree with most Lions fans that a six or seven win season seems more realistic. The schedule is fairly brutal. Depending on ...

I am back after a two-week sabbatical in Hawaii.  Tough life but someone has to do it! I was able to catch the first two days of the draft.  I was pleased that the Lions filled two very big needs by getting defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska and running back Jahvid Best out of California. Suh will very quickly become the pillar of Detroit's defense.  The Lions have surrounded Suh with ...

Speculating the NFL Draft and just what the Detroit Lions are going to do.  What a great hobby! The majority of the articles recently written have entertaining.  Some have made a ton of sense and others have been outlandish.  It seems that every person writing these articles has the definitive answer that will solve all of the Lions problems. Even some of my own have been laced with that sentiment.  Ah to ...

It's been about 3 weeks since I've written anything.  Not that I haven't wanted to, but there has been a lot of great articles written about the Lions from some new writers as well as some of the wily veterans out there. I will admit part of it has been some writer's block.  I have started several articles that I've given up on about half-way through. I'd stop and read what ...

I'm going to say this once: Eric Berry is not worth being taken with the second pick. I understand how good it might be to have both he and Louis Delmas as the dynamic-duo of safeties.  But Berry, as highly rated as he is, isn't the answer for the Lions secondary issues. Now that I have that out of the way, I also feel strongly that even with the pick-ups of Kyle ...

Matt Millen left both the offensive and defensive lines decimated in the 10 years he was with the Lions.á Granted, his first draft teased the Lion fan base in 2001 when two offensive line players were taken, left tackle Jeff Backus and center Dominic Raiola, in the first two rounds.á With the second pick in round two, defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was taken. Millen's first draft gave Lions fans hope that ...

Maybe it's because it's the holidays and I am just being melancholy about my team. Perhaps it could be that I am being defensive in the criticism as of late of the Detroit Lions.á I know that I have written some rather scathing articles myself in regards to players, coaches and management of the Detroit Lions.á But it just seems during this time of supposed goodwill and cheer, we fans seem to ...

With the Lions playing for nothing more than "moral" victories, I took a few minutes (actually this is all on the fly) to lay out three simple and basic steps the Lions need to achieve to become a better football team. With that in mind, I'm not going to get into what record I expect them to have in 2010 nor am I going to address the many, many needs the ...

Take a good look at the photograph of Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford Sr. Heáis the main reason why the Lions haven't won a championship since 1957. So here are the Lions in familiar territory once again.á With a month left in the season and no hope of getting into the playoffs, Lions fans once again can only look to the draft and hope the management team William Clay Ford Sr. ...
