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/ I understand that the GM wanted to hire his own coach, but it's a rather ridiculous move...to the Wayne Fontes level of shooting yourself in the foot. The Pox will remain on the Lions' house for the next 30 years. Edited January 2, 2018 by disaacs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swede700 3,629 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 That is a rather favorable schedule for the Lions...considering the most difficult games are at home (although we don't know yet how the 49ers will perform). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Klomp 1,848 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hope he delivers more defensive performances like that in our building! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cearbhall 1,039 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I hope he leads the Lions to victories over the Packers twice yearly while laying down for the Vikings in both their yearly meetings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vike daddy 3,197 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Lions have a hard decision to make on defensive end Ezekiel Ansah. Detroit has not used the franchise tag since 2012 with Cliff Avril, but it’s possible the Lions use it this year on Ansah, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. A $17.5 million commitment to Ansah is a lot of money, especially for a defensive end who had 14 sacks combined the past two seasons. But only seven NFL players had more than Ansah’s 12 sacks last season, and Ansah’s 12 sacks came in 14 games. The Lions also don’t have anybody to replace Ansah if he leaves. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/16/lions-face-a-difficult-decision-about-whether-to-franchise-ziggy-ansah/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vike daddy 3,197 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The full slate of teams with genuine interest in cornerback Richard Sherman isn’t known. The Lions, we’re told, were definitely one of them. Per a league source, the Lions was strongly motivated to pursue Sherman, who signed with the 49ers only one day after being cut by the Seahawks. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/11/lions-had-significant-interest-in-richard-sherman/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VikeManDan 1,554 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I know he tore his achilles but I'm glad Sherman stayed in the NFCW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vike daddy 3,197 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Matt Patricia was coordinating the defense that didn’t need Malcolm Butler a little over month ago. Now, he’s coaching a team that appears to want Malcolm Butler for the future. According to Mike Giardi of NBC Sports Boston, the Lions are “quite interested” in the Patriots free agent cornerback. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/12/report-lions-quite-interested-in-malcolm-butler/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
