    Interesting conversation with Austin Ekeler about the Lions backfield

    I know for the majority the argument on this board is "should we have drafted Gibbs so high" rather than "why isn't he playing more", but I thought this was pretty insightful as to way Monty is getting most of the workload. If anyone is qualified to weigh in on this from the outside it's...

    Michigan Stadium Parking ??

    Hi guys, I just bought tickets for the Liverpool/Manchester United game at Michigan Stadium in late July. I have never been there and am looking for some advice. I will be driving there from Pittsburgh and driving back after the game. (I'm too old for this, btw) What is the parking...

    If things go really wrong this year...

    Is there a chance that the Lions move on from some guys? I am not rooting for this. I think we have a decent chance to make the playoffs this year again. But...if we have a down year (as we have every single year following a playoff berth) and especially if we have a down year and #9...

    Fantasy vs. Reality

    I was looking through player ratings this year, and noticed that Stafford is ranked the 4th best FFL QB this year on ESPN standard. The projection is 61% Comp | 6.9 YPA | 4471 Passing Yds | 32 TDs | 19 INT Would you guys be happy with that? I also would love to hear what affect you guys...

    If we miss the playoffs

    is the consensus here that Schwartz will be fired? I know there are no guarantees, but it may be worth missing to get this joker out of here. Maybe WCF can factor in the money saved on smashed headsets when making that decision. The team reflects his personality. And his personality sucks.

    Sheffler released

    According to the NFL app on my phone. Thanks Tony, you didn't block or catch very well. Happy trails Edit...that's Scheffler, not Sheffler

    Freeman benched

    I know this probably belongs on the General NFL board, but you ex-ESPN folks must remember our old friend Hoopster. Boy did he love Freeman over Stafford. Freeman has been benched in favor of a rookie. His completion percentage is in the mid 40's. This kid actually showed some potential I...

    Undisciplined

    Just getting to post now, that game yesterday was a complete letdown. Suh will be suspended, and rightfully so. That play was an absolute backbreaker. My first reaction is that he will get 2 games. I almost wouldn't mind us suspending him an additional game to hopefully wake him up. This...

    Next year's team

    So I know it's a little too soon to think about this, but what do you guys think next year's club will look like? If nothing else, this series with Texas has shown that we need more athleticism (speed and defense) and major help in the bullpen. Our starters, as well as set up and closer, are...

    Tigers/playoffs/nausea

    I chose #4. During the games, unless we are up 10 runs, I am physically sick. The Tigers in the playoffs is probably taking years off of my life as we speak.

    Garrard released

    This surprised me... until I read that it saves them 9 million this year. Seattle and SF must be burning up the phone lines about now.

    Reality Check

    I'm expecting it to be very apparent that we still have work to do before becoming a viable playoff team after the first half tomorrow night. Kool Aid and cornbread sales will decline sharply I think. I'd love to be wrong, but I think the Pats are going to embarass us.

    Good Read - NY Times Blog Lions Preview

    I thought this was a fairly decent preview of our team. There are a few errors (Nate Beson??) but it seems like the writer actually researched the team. http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/23/2011-detroit-lions-season-preview/

    What Happened??

    Is there some behind the scenes drama going on at our new home? Slick was a moderator, now he's not? Listen, this Slick guy is one miserable SOB, but he's also very knowledgable and, along with KC on the Tigers board the reason I (and probably a lot of others) are here. What gives?
