Film breakdown: T.J. Lang was the heart and soul of the rushing attack
The Lions really do have a quality run game, but it’s on injured reserve. The rise and fall of a “great” offensive line Early in the 2018 regular season, it looked like the investments made by general manager Bob Quinn in the offensive line were finally starting to pay off. Recovering from a putrid opener against the New York Jets, the unit repeatedly posted solid outings to earn praise from national outlets in September and October. Pass protection was great, the team finally found a rushing game, and Detroit was turning the season around with wins against prestige franchises like...

Thursday injury report: Rookies Johnson and Hand miss practice again
The Lions are battered and bruised heading into a bout versus the Bills. After an injury-filled game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Detroit Lions opted for a Wednesday walkthrough instead of the usual practice. The Lions will face off against the Buffalo Bills this week, but it appears as though they will do so with numerous missing pieces. The Lions offense, already missing T.J. Lang, Marvin Jones Jr and Michael Roberts, is dealing with injuries across the starting lineup. Quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to be limited with a back injury. Running back Kerryon Johnson did not...

Detroit Lions’ T.J. Lang takes to Twitter, rips fans who want team to tank
At 4-8, the Detroit Lions have a very small chance of making the NFL Playoffs. Because of that, more and more fans (if you want to call them that) have begun rooting for the team to tank for a higher draft pick. Embed from Personally, I think tanking is for fans with a loser mentality and one current Lion happens to agree with me. Following Darius Slay’s pick-six against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, injured Lion T.J. Lang took to Twitter to show his excitement. BIG PLAY SLAY!!! — TJ Lang (@TJLang70) December 9, 2018 Of course, one of Lang’s followers decided the right move would be...

Notes: The Lions’ offensive line isn’t much better than last year
The improvement just isn’t there right now. If there was one reason Detroit Lions fans were looking at 2018 as being a year the offense finally reaches its full potential, it was the perceived improvement of the offensive line. With T.J. Lang healthy, Frank Ragnow manning the left guard position and a brand-new offensive line coach, Detroit was running thin on excuses for average, or even above-average offensive play. This was supposed to be an elite offense. And while it seemed like those changes actually made a big difference at first—the Lions only gave up three sacks in the first...

MUST LISTEN! Dan Miller’s radio call of Detroit Lions game-winning TD is perfection
For the most part, not too many people picked the Detroit Lions to beat the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Who could blame them? After all, the Lions went into the game on a 3-game losing skid and they were without T.J. Lang (Reserve-injured) and Marvin Jones, who missed the game with an injured knee. Embed from But, as you know, the Lions always find a way to confuse us and that’s exactly what they did on Sunday afternoon as they defeated the Panthers 20-19 to move to 4-6 on the season. One person who was extremely excited to see the Lions pull out the big win was Dan Miller who had the...

BREAKING: Detroit Lions release Week 11 Inactive List
When the Detroit Lions take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon, they will have their work cut out for them. Embed from With T.J. Lang (Reserve-Injured) and Marvin Jones Jr. (OUT) already missing from the offense, it will be tough for Matthew Stafford and company to get things going against the Panthers. The Lions just released their Week 11 Inactive List and as you can see, the Lions will be short-handed. #CARvsDET: Todays inactives pic.twitter.com/vMBfpK7bsz — Detroit Lions (@Lions) November 18, 2018 Nation, do you think the Lions will have enough firepower to shock the Panthers...
