Against the Chicago Bears in Week 14, the Detroit Lions put up one of their worst offensive efforts of the season. Their 13 points scored was the second fewest of the season, and their 267 yards gained was the lowest of the year. Mix in three turnovers and a 1-in-5 conversion rate on fourth down,…

You would have thought the Detroit Lions would have been interested in a reunion with defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, but apparently, it was the furthest thing from their minds. The Lions, who signed fellow defensive lineman Tyson Alualu last week, evidently wanted nothing to do with bringing Suh back into the fold even though the
What a year it has been for the Detroit Lions and their offensive line. They’ve had a different combination of players in nearly every single game this season. One player that was expected to be stable part of this line this year is Jonah Jackson. He’s in a contract year and the expectation was that
The Detroit Lions continue to try and shake things up on defense, looking for the right mixture of player to accomplish their weekly game plans. In Week 14, a loss to the Chicago Bears, the Lions adjusted for injuries on their defensive line, increased their bulk in the box, and gave opportunities to new faces…
The Detroit Lions made some truly puzzling moves on Saturday when they only elevated guard Michael Niese for their game against the Bears. When they did that, they left out Bruce Irvin, Michael Schofield and Quinton Bohanna. After Sunday’s game, most of those moves look even worse now. Let’s start on the interior of defensive
This is about as bad as the Lions have looked this season and could very easily be winless against the Bears this year. They had to have a comeback victory a few weeks ago when they hosted them but the success the Bears had was duplicated and this time they finished the job. With the
What do you call a quarter where the Detroit Lions didn’t reach a single first down? The turd quarter—and rest assured that the turd quarter on Sunday against the Chicago Bears was one of the turdiest of turd quarters this season. What do you do with an offense that refused to move down the field,…
It’s always interesting what stories the snap counts from a game tell about a team. For the Detroit Lions in the Week 14 loss to the Chicago Bears, it shows a team that made some questionable personnel choices. Take the running back splits. David Montgomery played just 23 of the Lions’ 65 offensive snaps. Jahmyr
Let me start this off by saying that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has done a phenomenal job with this team. Yes, he has a weakness and we’ll get to it, but that does not at all overpower the fact that he took this team at one of it’s lowest points ever and rebuilt
The Detroit Lions are in need of a wake-up call. The Lions’ loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 14 still has them sitting with a solid 9-4 record, but the panic is setting in. For as dominant as the team looked early on, issues are arising lately that spark fear for a Lions division…
It’s a battle of the best on “Sunday Night Football.” The Dallas Cowboys play host to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles Sunday evening. Not only are the Cowboys competing with the Eagles for the top spot in the NFC East, but the NFC itself. A game like tonight’s could prove pivotal down the stretch for the…
The Detroit Lions made some awful music in Week 14. Given a chance to dance to a potential division title as road favorites in Chicago, the Lions instead played out of tune and got run off the stage. Cue the Limp Bizkit. “It’s just one of those days”… It certainly was one of those days
Lions Lions LB Bruce Irvin was fined $7,766 for a hit on a quarterback and S Kerby Joseph was fined $6,230 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Lions HC Dan Campbell said there was a lack of discipline in the loss to the Bears: “We’ve been a disciplined team, but we just weren’t enough today, and they were.”
Not even going to lie, I’m not sure what to call this piece. Essentially, just join me for a therapy session where we put it all out on the table and talk this one out. It’s needed after the Detroit Lions just got embarrassed on the road against the Chicago Bears. Losing always sucks, and
