vike daddy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 In the Lions’ 20-15 loss to the Steelers, they gained 482 yards of total offense but were limited to just five field goals. The Lions became the first team in NFL history to gain at least 475 yards of offense, not have multiple turnovers, and still score less than 20 points. The Lions were also just the second team in NFL history to gain 480 yards, hold their opponents to less than 21 points, and lose. And they were just the third team in NFL history to gain more than 480 yards and fail to score a touchdown. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/10/30/lions-offense-had-unprecedented-production-without-scoring-a-touchdown/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The Lions opened their practice week on Wednesday with right guard T.J. Lang on the field, but he won’t be there on Thursday. Lions coach Jim Caldwell announced on Thursday morning that Lang has been placed in the concussion protocol. Lang was OK after the Lions beat the Packers on Monday Night Football and on Tuesday, but Caldwell said that he began experiencing symptoms of a concussion during Wednesday’s practice. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/09/t-j-lang-in-concussion-protocol/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Quote The Lions got left tackle Taylor Decker back at practice over a week ago and they said goodbye to a player they acquired in the wake of Decker’s offseason shoulder injury. The team announced that they have waived tackle Greg Robinson with an injured designation. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/10/lions-waive-greg-robinson/ "We reached out to Robinson's agent, but he said Robinson was too lazy to comment." Just kidding, that's my own addition to the article. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Ziggy Ansah‘s back issue continues to be an issue for the Lions. The star defensive end didn’t practice Friday and isn’t expected to play Sunday against the Bears. That makes two weeks with no activity for Ansah. Lions coach Jim Caldwell declined to elaborate on whether it’s a long-term injury. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/17/ziggy-ansah-still-out-with-back-problem/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 He should be careful and sit out next week too since the game is on Thursday. No sense in rushing back! Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Dwight Freeney has been claimed off of waivers by the Lions. The move would give the Lions another player to use rushing the passer, something that Freeney showed he could still do by recording three sacks in four games with the Seahawks. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/22/lions-claim-dwight-freeney/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The Lions not only lost Thursday, they left they game battered, and needing reinforcements.

SteelKing728 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Miles Killebrew should be an adequate replacement. He's their future at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The Lions will be in Tampa to face the Buccaneers next Sunday, but they’re not yet sure if Matthew Stafford will be at quarterback when their offense takes the field. Stafford left last Sunday’s loss to the Ravens after having his right hand stepped on following an interception and X-rays taken after the game showed no signs of a broken bone. Stafford described having “burning nerve pain” on Sunday while coach Jim Caldwell said on Monday that the quarterback is “just sore,” which is enough to keep him from being certain about Stafford’s status. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/05/matthew-staffords-hand-is-sore-uncertain-outlook-for-this-week/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2017/12/07/matthew-stafford-injury-detroit-lions/931328001/ The swelling in Matthew Stafford's right hand has subsided enough that he's resumed throwing, and if Thursday was any indication, the Detroit Lions could have their starting quarterback on the field this weekend.

vike daddy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) The Lions haven’t released official injury designations for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, but it appears you can pencil quarterback Matthew Stafford into the questionable category. Stafford hurt his right hand last Sunday and didn’t throw in practice on Wednesday before getting some tosses in on Thursday with a couple of his fingers taped up. That’s progress, but it’s not enough for coach Jim Caldwell to say that Stafford will be playing this weekend. “We’ll see,” Caldwell said. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/12/08/jim-caldwell-well-see-if-matthew-stafford-plays/ Edited December 8, 2017 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The Lions have kicked off a new year by starting a search for a new head coach. The team announced on Monday morning that General Manager Bob Quinn informed Jim Caldwell that has been fired. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/01/lions-fire-jim-caldwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
