Principled Man Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 QUOTE (Cyclonus X-1 @ Dec 24 2011, 07:45 PM)I think the player I'm happiest for is Raiola. He's anything but a perfect player, but he's played his guts out for this team through so many horrible years. Raiola showed his "class" by starting a fight before they even took the field. Started shit with a Charger just outside the tunnel..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Heard an interesting point about Suh. Apparently Suh has a commercial in Detroit for a Chrysler dealership While employed by the Ford family (owner of the Lions) He was recently hurt when he drove his Chevrolet Corvette into a tree Tonight he plays at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go2wrk@95974 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Well, the Lions played a great 1st half offensively and defensively, but they just couldn't get it done in the 2nd half...too much pressure on the young Detroit QB. NO wore down the Lions defensive line and linebacker's, with their running game, then burned the Lions cornerbacks and safetys, with a really good passing attack...It was a perfect game plan. Congrats to all NO fans. It was a well played game,and fun to watch. Go get'um next year, Lions!!! Edited January 8, 2012 by go2wrk@95974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bucked that trend, so surely he can put an end to this Madden bad luck business. Note that I'm knocking on wood as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Here's some bad, though not unexpected news about the Lions first pick in 2011. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7977231/...ng-elude-police TILLMAN'S CORNER, Ala. -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley has been arrested in Alabama on charges of driving under the influence and attempting to elude police, his second arrest in his home state in two months. Alabama state troopers say the 24-year-old passed a state trooper early Sunday morning at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade in unincorporated Mobile County. After initially refusing to stop for the trooper's emergency lights and siren, Fairley pulled over and seemed impaired. He was arrested without incident. Fairly was also cited for reckless driving, no proof of insurance and open container. Fox10TV.com reported Fairley posted $1,750 bond and was released shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday. Lions spokesman Bill Keenist says the team is aware of the reports and is gathering information. Fairley's agent did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday. Fairley also was arrested April 3 in Mobile on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge after citizens called to complain that Fairley's Escalade was speeding through a lower-middle class neighborhood in Mobile. Fairley was a standout at Auburn and the Lions' first-round draft pick in 2011. As a junior, he was the Lombardi award winner as the nation's top lineman and helped lead the Tigers to the 2010 national title. However, Fairley struggled through his rookie year, playing in just 10 games because of a foot injury. He finished the season with 11 tackles and one sack. Lions running back Mikel Leshoure also pleaded guilty earlier in May to a marijuana possession charge, two months after police discovered him with pot in his mouth during a traffic stop in southwestern Michigan. Leshoure was also a member of the Lions' 2011 draft class, taken with the 25th pick of the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go2wrk@95974 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Thats a good question...not sure. Lions had a great year. I'd say it's 50-50 chance one way or the other. Hope so. Detroit deserves a super-bowl champion. Edited June 13, 2012 by go2wrk@95974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I saw the schedule for this season. It is SO much easier than last season. Which hopefully is a good thing. Some of our defensive line players need to get their head out of the gutter right now. And IMO, since this is Backus' last year. We need a Super Bowl win that man. And Hanson. Hanson probably doesn't have far too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed that clip to EVERYONE I know (even if they're sick of me talking about Rush) because it's possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life. And finally one of my friends made a gif of that clip and now that is what I use. Regarding Fairley, that's odd. I used to creep the Lions forum for awhile but I got bored after the off-season started. Noone has anything interesting to talk about except the Madden "curse". lol. Glad to see there are other Lions fans on these forums! Been a fan ever since I watched them with my dad when I was a pre-schooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me is that they have to play six of their first nine games on the road, including four of five at the tail end of the stretch. They were a pretty good road club last year, and some of the opponents they'll be facing are cream puffs, but still, so many road games bunched together is worrisome.

Good to see another Lions fan here, btw. Likewise (even though I haven't been on here very long, lol)! The thing that's awesome is that we DO NOT CARE whether it's a home/road game. We almost always try our hardest. Take the Raiders game from last year, for example. It was IN the black hole. We were down by many points. Then, we just came back and won that game like a bunch of pros. My dad said that was probably one of the best game he has EVER seen in his whole Lions watching career. And there's also the Cowboys game. We were behind in those games because we were terrible the first half. But I have confidence Schwartz will put them in line this season.

Yep, same story in the game they played at Minnesota: down by 20 at the half, and they stormed back and won. They definitely had a knack for the comeback last season, which says a lot about their talent and their heart. Though this year, I'm hoping for more games like the one they played against San Diego last season--dominant from start to finish. The sky's the limit for this club as long as Stafford and Johnson stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have very high hopes for him. I think they're counting on him to evolve into a true #2 threat opposite Calvin and hoping that Ryan Broyles will be able to start in the slot next season. I like Nate Burleson, but I think they're going to have to jettison his contract at some point in order to hold on to their good younger players and stay under the salary cap.
