Lions Fall Short to 49ers, Lose 27-19
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
Showcased in the bright lights of Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions fell to the San Francisco 49ers a second consecutive year, 27-19, to fall to 1-1 to begin the 2012 season. The ridiculously stingy defense of the 49ers held the Lions under 300 total yards and kept star wide receiver Calvin Johnson out of the end zone, forcing the Lions to try and turn to the running game more so than ...

Candlestick Opener Ends with 49ers Win Over Lions 27-19
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Daniel Trucios.
The last time these two teams met, the country talked about the controversial handshake between head coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz. That wasn't the topic of interest this time around. The topic was simply the game and how the 49ers won their home opener at Candlestick 27-19 over the Detroit Lions. The theme of the night for the 49ers was much like every one of their games with just cons...

Lions Take on 49ers in Week 2 Rematch of “The Handshake”
Posted on 14 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers both opened their 2012 seasons with close victories. In Detroit, Matthew Stafford hit running back Kevin Smith with 10 seconds left lift the Lions to a 27-23 against the improved St. Louis Rams. Perhaps more impressively, the 49ers squared off against Green Bay at Lambeau Field and held on for a 30-22 win. The win for the 49ers gave Green Bay their firs...

NFL Preview- Week 1: St. Louis Rams (0-0) @ Detroit Lions (0-0)
Posted on 7 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
After a decade of futility during the 2000s, the Detroit Lions finally made the playoffs in 2011. By compiling a 10-6 record and earning a spot as the 6th seed in the NFC, Detroit earned its first berth in the postseason since Barry Sanders' final season in 1999. Despite a 45-28 wild-card loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, Detroit comes into the 2012 season riding the overall succ...

Mistakes Plague Buffalo in Preseason Loss
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Norm Duhamel.
Get your S**T together Buffalo. I have been telling you that it is only the preseason and not to worry, but after their 38-7 loss to Pittsburgh, Buffalo is still searching for a win in the preseason, leaving me a little worried. They better get their turnover issues in check if they want to start the season off with a win. The biggest factor for the loss was the two interceptions and one fumble...

CHRISTIAN PONDER LOOKS LIKE A ROOKIE
Posted on 12 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
Sunday against the Lions, Minnesota demonstrated why they are a 2-11 team. They had a rookie QB make mistake after mistake. The Viking's defense played well, but gave up a bunch of points after turnovers. And the officials missed calls, the biggest of which was a facemask on Joe Webb on the final play of the game. Yep, all of these things happen to a losing team. These are things that...

Welcome Back Kevin Smith
Posted on 21 Nov 2011 by Bob Ballard.
Before Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers, the signing of RB Kevin Smith during Detroit's bye week barely made any headlines. The Lions' record when Smith played was a lousy 4-32. Smith was a third round draft pick in 2008, but was the featured back during that awful 0-16 season with 976 yards rushing, 8 TDs. Smith never displayed any breakaway speed and some people doubt the ...

Lions Tebowed Broncos To Get Back On Track
Posted on 31 Oct 2011 by Bob Ballard.
Matthew Stafford lived in Tim Tebow's shadow during their college days when both were SEC East rivals. As Stafford's Georgia Bulldogs finally beat Tebow's Florida Gators on Saturday, Stafford continued the trend as he outplayed Tebow in Detroit's 45-10 win over the Denver Broncos. Detroit's defense sacked Tebow seven times and turned two turnovers into touchdowns as the Lions snapped a tw...

Falcons vs Lions: Why the Dirty Birds Will Win
Posted on 21 Oct 2011 by Josh Brown.
Dirty Birds versus the Ferocious Felines. The Lions have been the NFL's surprise team this year. But I had a feeling they would be good. A couple of early draft picks several years in a row usually builds a fantastic team a few years later. That's how good teams rebuild (especially after 0-16 seasons). That's what the Lions did. I have been cheering for them this season, and took a minor blow w...

Dallas blows 24 point lead…
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Glenn Stants.
The subject line covers what I could leave as a blank blog but I won't sit down and cry and let the Cowboy haters out there not tell me so. Striaght up, the Detroit Lions took my pre-game blog, ate it and spit is right back at me. 2nd half / 4th quarter implosion and the Detroit Lions move to 4-0 in a 34-30 come from behind win against the now 2-2 Dallas Cowboys. What can I say, Cowboys were ...

Cowboys Blow a 21-3 Halftime Lead
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by David Willow.
It’s a comedy of errors when it comes to the Cowboys, Jekyll and Hyde, a roller coaster, and sometimes just tough to watch. After a magnificent beginning to the game, where the Cowboys seemed to have Lions in check both offensively and defensively, things began to unravel and eventually losing the game 34-30. The Cowboys blew a 27-3 lead they had early in the second half, leading to the Lions...
