New "message board"

Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:25:16 EDT

How many of you guys are on Facebook???? I was wondering if we would be better served trying to start our own "Lion's Den" page on Facebook and holding our conversations there. Atleast we know there won't be anybody censoring our posts and ...

Turk McBride

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:54:59 EDT

Just read that he signed a 1-year contract with the Bears on March 20. I hadn't realized he was a free agent - I'm surprised we didn't sign him. The Lions took a flier on him when he was released by the Chiefs in 2009. The Chiefs released him because ...

Random thoughts about the Draft!

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:43:56 EDT

I really like Jarvis Jones and think he may be the best outside rusher in this draft and would not draft him due to his injury history. I hope the best for the guy but the Lions just are not in a position to take chances. ...

6 mocks

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:04:00 EDT

They probably know little more than we do, But, 6 CBS/Draft Express "experts" released updated mocks yesterday/today. They all have Detroit getting 1 of 3 players: Fisher, Joekel, or Ansah. ...

Who you want vs. Who the Lions will draft.

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:42:17 EDT

I want the Lions to draft: Ezekial Ansah ...

Why Miliner makes the most sense

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 0:20:03 EDT

Yes, of course I am going to continue pushing for Milliner just like most of you will continue pushing the guy you like. :o) ...

Anyone you DON'T want?

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:13:43 EDT

After careful consideration of other fans wants, I came to the conclusion that there is really no possible player at 5 I would be unhappy with. In other words, IMO the Lions can't screw this up. ...

First 5 drafted

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:01:37 EDT

There are a lot of debates on if the Lions should draft Ansah, Fisher, or Milliner. I have seen good strong and logical arguments and some weak, lame hopes. Tonight I got to thinking, these arguments may be for naught. A lot of people believe the Lio ...

2 weeks and counting...Ziggy! Ziggy!! Ziggy!!!

2 weeks ago things appeared to be setting up perectly for us. But I'm starting to get nervous. ...

I've been bored with all the pre draft chatter since FA slowed down so I've been looking through the roster to find interesting players. ...

It's going to be Lane Johnson or Chance Warmack

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 9:26:15 EDT

The closer we get to the draft the more convinced I am that the Lions are going OL with their first pick. Here are some reasons why I believe that. ...

Milliner is an elite athlete

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:56:49 EDT

It looks like Milliner is far more athletic then any of us thought. Not only was his 40 time quick, but his change of direction and acceleration also graded as elite. ...

Danario Alexander

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:03:11 EDT

Chargers assigned the original-pick tender to restricted free agent WR Danario Alexander. The move is surprising and may indicate San Diego's new front office isn't thrilled with Alexander's knees. Rather than tender Alexander at the first- or second ...

Draft Game (with prize)

Are you guys interested in doing a draft game prior to the draft? ...

Rolando McClain

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:57:58 EDT

I just saw that the Raiders are releasing OLB Rolando McClain. Yes, he has had some off field issues, but he plays a position of need and is still really young "23 years old." I think that he would be worth the gamble and could be a guy that adds mor ...

Lions Overall Plan

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:09:03 EDT

I have been pondering creating this thread for a couple days, but I think we need to talk about the big picture in regards to both the free agency period and the draft. There are going to be some guys that Detroit does not bring back in free agency t ...

Your Dream Draft

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:15:37 EDT

Simple concept, give us your "dream draft" if you were calling the shots. Try to stay realistic with where guys are expected to go- if you see a guy sliding and think we'll grab him up, that's cool, but no dropping Dee Milliner to the 2nd o ...

Draft Dennard Robinson Homer Thread

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:21:25 EDT

I just feel this guy will be gone within the 1st three rounds. If we pass on him at 65 in the 3rd round I don't think he will ever see the 4th round. Speed, vision, Football smarts, character, will trump the fact he's never played KR/PR RB or WR. He' ...

Predicitng the Lions will draft a TE

Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:56:46 EDT

Scheffler is 30, and rumored to be cut before training camp. Pettigrew has a contract coming up and has a lot to prove, especially allowing himself to be humiliated last season when a man half his size ripped the ball from his hands and ran it the op ...

Fisher or Ansah

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:57:30 EDT

Which one do you guys think will make us a better team? I think Fisher makes us better because a franchise LT are hard to come by. This draft is so deep at Dline it just doesnt make sense for us to reach at DE. Im taking Millener out of the equation ...

How High Should a Team Draft a Kicker?

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:59:29 EDT

How high should a team draft a kicker? Conventional wisdom is not till about the 5th round, maybe the 4th. Really good ones occasionally go in the later half od the 3rd. ...

Tank Carradine

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:58:27 EDT

Comeing off an ACL tear he might drop to the 2nd round. He actually outplayed Woerner at FSU by many accounts and statistically and would probably be the 1st DE taken in the draft IMO. ...

Who's camp are you in?

Dolphins looking to trade up?

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:18:41 EDT

Everyone is so upset about the QB trades going on that have all but nullified any of them tradeing up for Geno Smith. ...

Robiski released

It's Free Agent Season!

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:36:14 EDT

The Lions are on the hunt for help at DE, CB, Safety, OC, OG, WR, RB, K, P and a return specialist. Did I miss anyone? ...
