A decade of losing can do funny things to a man's mind. It seems this Detroit Lions season has turned the loud-mouthed Bill "Huge" Simonson downright delusional. In his latest piece featured on mlive.com Bill blames the fans for the franchise's continued woes: "The 'moral victory club' never holds the team accountable for anything, and because they have been Lions fans all their lives, they will never question what the team does on or off the...  

ALLEN PARK - Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz won't tip his hand on who will be the team's starting quarterback on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers but it appears rookie Matthew Stafford isn't part of that equation. At...  

Sometimes all a Detroit Lions fan wants is to hear the head coach or general manager berate the team. Especially after watching a game like Sunday's 48-3 trouncing by the Baltimore Ravens. Especially after watching one of the worst decades...  

So even the Arizona Cardinals got it right, eventually. There’s something wrong with the world in which I now live. Since when did they change slapstick and make it into refined theater? The Arizona Cardinals are now a championship contender for two years in a row. The blind squirrel found a nut—twice. The Arizona Cardinals? Winners, two years in succession? About to wrap up another divisional title? It’s like the Marx Brothers playing...

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...  

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...

There's no good news this week. As Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said, "You'll have a hard time finding the silver lining in this one." Wait, check that. The only good news is that the Lions didn't play the New England Patriots this week. Apparently shutouts come in much more humiliating packages. Still, that's little consolation in a game where the Lions were shut out for the first time since 2001, and against an average defense. For every...

Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz wasn't able to get his message across in the third quarter of Sunday's 48-3 loss to Baltimore. By giving the team Monday off, he has given himself 48 hours before he has to try again. Schwartz's first attempt came with Baltimore leading 34-3 and driving again.

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...
