The ball is in Jim Schwartz's court now. After his team got pounded by the Baltimore Ravens, 48-3, the Detroit Lions head coach was beside himself. During the post-game press conference, Schwartz implied to the media that players' heads could...

BALTIMORE - Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz began a conference call with Baltimore writers this week by turning things around and posing the opening question.  

In a surprising turn of events, Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz gave an honest injury report before "game time decisions" must be made public. Schwartz announced that Daunte Culpepper would start for the Lions this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. He had previously said Matthew Stafford was day-to-day and that the decision would be a game-time choice on whether or not to sit Stafford. Damn you, Bill Belichick. Injury reports have...

When the 1-8 Cleveland Brown rolled into Detroit to face the 1-8 Lions, not much was expected from a game that was locally blacked out.  Wow, how we all wish we had players like Brady Quinn and Matthew Stafford on our fantasy teams after this one. In a match up that consisted of two of the worst teams in the NFL for the past decade, it was dubbed a game of losers.  But from the first few minutes we all learned really what these two teams had...  

John Niyo of the Detroit News reported today following Jim Schwartz' Monday presser that quarterback Matthew Stafford has suffered an AC joint sprain (separation). If someone didn't see the play (thanks to a state-wide blackout), I highly suggest a trip over to NFL.com to see the replays. If you haven't even heard of what happened, I highly suggest coming out from the rock you're living under. Stafford, on the second-to-last play, scrambled...  

OK, so you're upset. Your team just lost to the winless Rams, which is inexcusable. I get it. I really do. What I do not get, however, is the reason Matthew Stafford is the point of that criticism.  He went 14-of-33 for 168 yards with one pick.  Those are not good numbers, but what did you expect?  He barely practiced and his receiving corps looked to be made of butter.  I counted about seven dropped passes, with most coming on third down...

William Clay Ford has done enough. Is so many ways, Ford has done enough for Detroit Lions fans. Since he became sole owner of the Lions in 1964, the franchise has only had four seasons with 10 or more wins. Since 1964, the Detroit Lions have not won a championship, either. The Lions have only made the playoffs in nine of the 45 years (20 percent) of Ford's ownership. The Lions have seen the careers of Barry Sanders, Barry Sims, Johnny Morton...
