Let’s continue our look back at the Detroit Lions’ first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL season. At the beginning of the season, there were plenty of expectations for the Lions.

That was a good old fashioned butt whuppin! Ain’t no two ways about that. I have always felt that a team will get it’s arse handed to it at least once a year. This felt like that game. I could see how folks would feel that it could happen again especially against the Lions. The […]

We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2 […]

Wait, the Green Bay Packers went down?! I mean, it wasn’t the best win ever, but it was still a win, right? Yes, it was, and the Packers are still third overall, which is very good! But it wasn’t the most convincing win while the Lions were beating the stuffings out of a good, fun […]

Before the 2025 NFL season got underway, there was a lot of chatter about how difficult the Detroit Lions’ schedule looked. At least on paper and before any real football had been played, it appeared daunting. However, as we know, things can change fast in the NFL, and while some of the games to come […]

With the Detroit Lions on break this week, we felt it was as good a time as any to check in on some former Lions who are playing elsewhere. The purpose of this is to check in on some players we were fans of last year, and also to determine if Detroit made the right […]

In the story that refuses to completely die, the NFL tried to provide a little more clarity on the operation of a ruling during the Detroit Lions’ Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The controversy in question has less to do about the call on the field and more to do with whether […]

The Detroit Lions are on their bye week, but I’m sure many of the players will be locked in to “Thursday Night Football” from home. That’s because the Lions face off against the Minnesota Vikings next week, their first game against their NFC North foe. Why not do a little early scouting for a big […]

The Detroit Lions’ secondary was the story of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold sidelined, along with starting safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph also out, not many give Detroit’s “no-named” defensive backs much of a chance to stop Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense, which […]

A few months into the season, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard is quickly becoming known for his infectious, run-through-a-brick-wall energy on the sidelines. It’s that type of explosive fire that sets him apart from former DC Aaron Glenn, explains Amik Robertson. “I think Shep is a little more passionate … He understands me a […]

With the Detroit Lions at the bye week, now is a good time to reflect upon the first seven weeks of the season. A 5-2 start is right about where expectations were for this team, despite a tough-looking schedule to start the season. It hasn’t looked exactly as we expected, though. The Lions offense has […]

With Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch coming off the reserve/suspended list this week, the team needed to create a roster spot to accommodate his return to the 53-man roster.
