Somehow, unexplainably, the 2-10 Lions have managed to once again sell out in time to lift the local media blackout.
How this continues to happen is completely beyond my comprehension.
The Lions had to put starting corner back Alphonso Smith and starting defensive end Kyle VandenBosch on the injured reserved list this week...both are now gone for the year.
The defensive backfield will once again turn from almost passable to miserable. The defensive line will lose it's emotional leader.
And this week Green Bay and Snidely Whiplash himself come to town. The Lions cannot handle Aaron Rodgers. I fully expect another quarterback with a perfect QB rating against the Lions.
At least we'll be able to see it...
3rd and 3 or less
The Lions went 1 for 3 running and 3 of 4 passing, which blows up my theory, but put in the context of the entire season does little to change my mind. 3rd and 3 or less means run, run, run!
On the season the Lions are 11 of 18 rushing (61%) and 15 of 31 passing (48%).
Blocked punts?
Nope.
Fade stop?
Another week where the Lions refused to utilize Calvin Johnson in the unstoppable play.
So sad.
Wouldn't it be great if the Lions had cheerleaders?
It's so sad that I have to keep writing that line. The Detroit Pride are offering to take the vital role in the Lions organization, but continue to be shunned by the ivory tower and the ancient Ford. So very sad.
Tales of the inept.
The Carolina Panthers (1-11) were blasted by a very mediocre Seattle SeaHawks team.
The Detroit Lions (2-10) are getting comfortable back in their old stomping grounds--second worst overall in the league.
The Buffalo Bills (2-10) gave up their habit of playing well and losing lately, instead they played lousy and were trounced by the Vikings.
The Cincinnati Bengals (2-10) lost a heart breaker to the Saints.
plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
