Cowboys Have The Guts, Lions have “The Schwartz”
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by David Willow.
The Cowboys gutted out a tough win in their home opener on Monday behind Dan Bailey's 6 field goals. The Cowboys have gained momentum and a sense of toughness over their last 2 games. The axiom being Tony Romo's play through a rib injury. Other players have followed suit like Felix Jones playing through a separated shoulder, Mike Jenkins playing through a shoulder injury, and Dez Bryant, though...

Lions Finally On Right Track
Posted on 14 Sep 2011 by Bob Ballard.
The Detroit Lions opened up the 2011 season with high expectations based on their nucleus of young playmakers – QB Matthew Stafford, WR Calvin Johnson, and DT Ndamukong Suh. It also helped that they ended the 2010 season with a 4 game winning streak without their star quarterback. The Lions went into Raymond James stadium on Sunday with no fear despite just snapping their 26 road l...

Dalton Improves in Second Game
Posted on 22 Aug 2011 by Derrick Blyberg.
The Bengals suffered their second preseason loss in blowout fashion Sunday night, losing 27-7 to the New York Jets. An ugly first quarter from QB Andy Dalton and company led to a quick 10-0 Jets lead headlined by a 16 yard TD pass from Mark Sanchez to Santonio Holmes. Dalton bounced back in the second quarter to lead the Bengal offense to their first TD of the preseason, but the stingy ...

Lions Look Impressive – But Hey, It’s Only Pre-Season
Posted on 15 Aug 2011 by Bob Ballard.
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford played just over 5 minutes in the Lions' first preseason game. During that span, Stafford threw for 2 TDs including a 26 yard TD pass to WR Calvin Johnson as the Lions rolled over the young Cincinnati Bengals 34-3. Stafford's line – 6 for 7, 71 yards, 2 TDs, 0 Int . Now it's hard not to get excited as Stafford was dead on as his only incompleti...

Arizona Cardinals 2011 NFL Draft Preview
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Zack Jones.
First of all, a quick shot out to Tyler Piedamonte. Thanks for reading. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to get excited for a draft. Surprisingly, it’s been since 2007 since the Cardinals had a top-10 pick. I know all first round picks are cream-of-the-crop talent but the first five to 10 players drafted are – or at least should be – instant impact players. Just look at l...

Browns vs. Steelers, Preview
Posted on 1 Jan 2011 by Fran Berkman.
For their grand finale of the 2010-11 season, the Browns (5-10) welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-4) into Cleveland Brown Stadium for a divisional match up. While the Steelers will be playing to secure first place in the AFC North, and a first round bye in the playoffs, the Browns will be playing to avoid last place, and for pride, presumably. Perhaps they are even playing for their coac...

Five Eagles Named to Pro Bowl
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, Jason Peters, Asante Samuel & David Akers were voted onto the starting NFC Pro Bowl squad. Obviously the Super Bowl teams affect who will actually represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl. Let's hope the Eagles players are still focused on the Super Bowl in Dallas, not distracted by the Pro Bowl in Hawaii (2010 Pro Bowl was played in Miami but Hawaii has reaffirmed t...

Should Stafford Play Again This Season?
Posted on 18 Dec 2010 by Bob Ballard.
While most NFL teams this time of year focus on getting into the playoffs, the Lions for the 10th straight season are ”playing for next year.” Detroit has taken a step forward this season with some of their their recent draft picks developing into major contributors. The 2010 class is led by DT Ndamukong Suh who has lived up to all the hype of being the #2 overall pick. ...

Chicago Bears Narrowly Beat Detroit Lions, Maintain NFC North Lead
Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Debbie Baratz.
I guess it's true: good teams find ways to win. The Chicago Bears (9-3) beat the Detroit Lions (2-10) 24-20 today in a game where many Bears fans wondered in the first half if the team's defense was going to show up: the Bears defense allowed 253 yards with 110 yards coming from the ground. In a back and forth game of team leads, the momentum changed for the Bears in the middle of ...

As The Playoffs Loom, The Lions As Usual Look Forward To The Draft
Posted on 29 Nov 2010 by Bob Ballard.
The clock is ticking for head coach Jim Schwartz. After the second half debacle against the Patriots on Thanksgiving, the Lions seem no closer in turning this franchise around. Even though the Lions led at halftime, they continue to give up big plays in the second half and then suddenly give in to the opposing team. Against New England with the Lions leading 24-17 in the 3rd quarter, QB...

Disappointing Browns Lose Late
Posted on 22 Nov 2010 by Fran Berkman.
Seven losses. In five, the Browns have led in the second half. In four, the Browns have led in the 4th quarter. One out of the two that they did not lead in the second half, they lost in heart breaking fashion to the Jets in over time. It has been a disappointing season for Cleveland fans to say the least. This week it was Maurice Drew and the Jacksonville Jaguars breaking Clevelande...

Lions Find Another Way To Lose
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by Bob Ballard.
With 5:19 left to go in the game with the Lions leading the New York Jets 20-10, there was a hush sound from Ford Field. Lions QB Matthew Stafford laid on the ground holding his right shoulder. He would not return to the game as it was the same shoulder injury that sidelined him for 5 games. Backup QB Drew Stanton replaced Stafford, but could not move the chains. After the Lions pun...
