Posted in Since we are running on a short week there is a lot of projecting without too much to go on practice wise. James Starks is officially a game time decision after being limited in practice.

Lions Gab NFL Week 12 Preview – Green Bay at Detroit
The Detroit Lions losing on Thanksgiving has become about as much as an American tradition as turkey, pumpkin pie and parades.

Kevin Smith Rises from the Ashes as Do the Lions
Despite having a quarterback with a broken finger, the Lions started the game throwing deep resulting in a drop, an over throw and an interception.

Lions vs. Panthers Preview
A year ago, the Lions were 2-7, overlooked, still a punchline and well on their way to another lost season.

WHEN THE PANTHERS HAVE THE BALL Last in the NFL in virtually every offensive category last season, the Panthers have vaulted to sixth overall in total yards (400.0 ypg) in 2011 thanks to the presence of the dynamic Newton (2605 passing yards, 11 TD, 10 INT) at quarterback and a rebirth from veteran wideout Steve [...]
Matthew Stafford Plays with Fractured Finger in Right Throwing Hand
Matthew Stafford said he wore a glove against the Bears during a 37-13 loss because he had a fractured finger in his right throwing hand according to Anwar S. Richardson of Mlive.com. Stafford wore a glove last week during practice, but previously said he did it to get used to Chicago’s cold climate. After completing [...]
Lions Falter Again, Now 1-3 Against Playoff Caliber Teams
The Lions had the opportunity to slam the door on the Bears and keep a stranglehold on a playoff spot and instead they took one step closer to pretender than contender. The Lions are now 1-3 against NFC teams they are competing against for a playoff spot. The Lions are 2.5 games behind the Packers [...]
