Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 That would have been last year when the Vikings had to borrow Ford Field because the Rollerdome deflated. Before that.....when was the last time the Lions played outdoors at home? I'm not sure but probably 1974, year before the Silverdome opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 Now they have to cut 8 million in salary... I just don't get how the cap works in the NFL... I believe all they have to do is restructure some contracts into bonus money so they can get under. Not 100% on this though. Oakland is still $15.25 mil over even after losing Nnamdi. Apparently they still have to pay his remaining contract since they opted out on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MGreenberg 105 Report post Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Fantastic, just heard Mikel Leshoure is out for the season. What is with the Lions picking up all these players who are so injury prone. http://www.nfl.com/t..._headline_stack Just hope Fairley isn't gone too long.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted August 9, 2011 I would rather just go with the same RB from last year. Also, now there are tampering charges... Doesn't it just seem like the Lions are the biggest disaster franchise of all time. Things are looking up and then there are just a wave of set backs. They should still be better than last year, but it just seems like this is all getting set up for a big fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd actually probably laugh if the Lions get penalized, that's how dumb I think the whole thing is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwfan007 18 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 Alrighty, games start tonight, so give me an over/under for wins this season. The Lions win 9 games this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 Alrighty, games start tonight, so give me an over/under for wins this season. The Lions win 9 games this year. All depends on Stafford's health. If he's healthy I think around 11 wins. If he gets hurt again, and the way players have been injured more frequently due to lack of camp and practice because of the lockout, we could be looking at another 6-7 win season again. The injuries seemed to be happening more to rookies though so hopefully the vets are ok since I think they'd be more prepared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted August 29, 2011 I cannot wait for this season to start. There's reason to believe Detroit has an NFL team again. I'm just ready for games that count. I need to see that this is for real. That there is legitimacy behind this hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
softshoes 83 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 As a Michigan fan I love what Brady has done since leaving UM. As a Lions fan I loved seeing him looking befuddled on the sidelines after our Dline rattled his cage a few times. Suh is a legitimate game changer. It's hard to be a qb when your standing on the tracks wondering when the trains going to hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 Found a funny quote regarding the fans and media bitching and moaning about Suh being a dirty player: "Translation: 'We have no hope of stopping him, please do it for us Mr. Goodell.'" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
