Detroit Lions and What They Need: My 100th Article

Yeah, I know. I said I was going to take a break but trying to give up the Lions is like trying to give up alcohol. My name is Seattle Lion Fan and I'm a Lionholic. I even tried to write an article about the Seattle Seahawks...

The Seattle Seahawks Are a Team in Transition

Five years ago, the Seattle Seahawks were on the precipice of NFL greatness. Were it not for a couple of bad calls (and some non-calls), the Seahawks may have very well been crowned the NFL Champs instead of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006...

An Open Letter to Fellow Detroit Lions Fans: I'm Tired

To whom it may concern, Ok, I've had enough. For nearly 40 years, I have watched, I have waited and hoped for the Lions to succeed. I began to watch the Lions in earnest in 1970 when they went 10-4 and finished second in the NFC Central...

Detroit vs. Seattle: Do Two Bad Teams Make For Good Football?

I get the rare opportunity to write about two teams that have been a part of many football seasons for me. As many of you know, I am a born and raised Michigander (why that isn't Michiganian ...

Hey Detroit Lions: You Really Stink!

The Detroit Lions Have a Long Way To Go: Beer Thinker's Musings

Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers showed just how bad the lack of talent there is on the Detroit Lions. True, they are more talented than last year's squad but the improvement is relative...

Detroit Lions Need To Use Brandon Pettigrew A Whole Lot More

Detroit Lion Left Tackle Jeff Backus: Is He Really That Bad?

For many seasons, at least the past six, many Lions fans have been harping just how bad left tackle Jeff Backus is. I have been one of the many that have pleaded Detroit Lions front office personnel to draft an elite left tackle...

Detroit Lions Fans Need To Be Patient

I know this isn't going to be easy. But we are talking about the Detroit Lions, right? This team is going through some serious growing pains. On top of that, the Lions have had to deal with decades of mismanagement, most notably from 2000 to 2008...

Detroit Lions: So What Really Went Wrong Against the Bears?

Being out here on the West Coast and being way to cheap to plunk down $200 for the NFL Package, I can only see updates of Lions games online or wait for the highlights. Neither of which really gives you a good indication of what really went on...

Beer Thinker's Rant: The Detroit Lions Did Beat an NFL Team

I have just about had it with some of the comments being made about the Lions first victory since 2007. The last time I looked, the Washington Redskins were a member of the National Football ...

Lions Win! Lions Win! OK, Now What?

Finally. After two years of not winning a game, the Lions are off the snide. And please, this victory over the Washington Redskins should not be discounted because the Redskins are a bad team...

Detroit Lions Need to Change Offensive Play Calling

The photo of Matthew Stafford says it all. That is not a happy camper. But Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan should take a look at the game film but look at what the Vikings did offensively instead of what the Lions did...

Detroit Lions Going Through Growing Pains

Ouch. That about sums up the Detroit Lions' first real game of the 2009 season against the New Orleans Saints. Matthew Stafford made his debut, and it was, how shall we say, underwhelming? Sixteen for 37 for 205 yards and three interceptions...
