San Francisco 19 - Detroit 13

Ugh. This one was awful. All we need is one more win and we clinch a playoff spot but we just don't want it. Oh and of course, Brandon Spikes goes down for the year with a Torn Pec. We hadn't had a major injury all year and this happens. Just not good.

Stafford was 18/33 for 257 yards and a TD - INT. He needs to work on his accuracy because lately it has not been very good at all.

Smith does manage to gain 80 yards on 15 carries, so hopefully there will be more of that in the future. We need him badly now to control the clock for us.

Derrick Williams had the best game of any Lions WR all year with 8 grabs for 188 yards and a TD. Calvin only managed 2 for 28 so this was huge, but obviously not huge enough.

On D, Sims and Marsh get sacks and Delmas has 10 solo tackles but it isn't enough.

Just a terrible day.

Detroit 22 - Minnesota 14

We clinch at least the Wildcard with a big 22-14 win in Minnesota as Matthew Stafford leads us to 13 points in the 4th to give us the victory.

Stafford was 17/24 for 199 yards and 2 TD in the winning effort, coming back from a 1st quarter injury in the process. In his absence Troy Smith threw 2 picks so it was a must he return.

Calvin rebounded from some weak games to catch 8 balls for 100 yards and a TD while Dan Gronkowski would catch his first career TD as well.

On D, Avril had a sack, Jennings a pick and Ellerbe had 7 solo tackles. A very good all around defensive effort.

We're now tied with Chicago at 10-5. Should we win next week I do believe we win the North because of the tiebreakers. So Chicago's only hope is a win and we lose.

Green Bay 24 - Detroit 5

I won't even get into it. We were God awful and of course the Bears won and get a bye, and now we're stuck playing the f'ing Falcons who have a full team now and already tooled us once. Don't like our chances here.

Atlanta 40 - Detroit 12

We're just not good enough and we get run out of the stadium. Again this one isn't one I want to even talk about. A lot of things need to be changed and we need to add talent to our OL and Secondary.

Around the NFL: Detroit Lions Draft

#22 - RG Trevor Robinson - 79/A: He will start at RG from the get go. We now have a young OL with Black/Murtha/Raiola/Robinson/Cherilus. This should be a great pick for us.

#54 - DE Justin Chaisson - 72/B: He will be backing up Cliff Avril, as our now 3rd year DE Dexter Davis will start at LE. Chaisson was a good pick where we got him, and should turn into a steal.

#97 - HB Stephfon Green - 65/B: We traded down from our 3rd rounder to Cleveland for their 4th and 5th, we also gave up a 7th. Green is a balanced back who is as good as Aaron Brown, who we let go, with better potential, and he is cheaper. This was a solid pick here.

#118 - CB Jeremy Brown: 62/B. The potential for Brown is amazing for where he was picked. He will start off as our 5th DB, behind Washington, Henry and Smith. He will battle with Spievey for the 4th DB duties but we have some good young players here, but nothing special yet.

#129 - WR Jonathan Baldwin: 60/C. We needed a WR and I wasn't going to sign one when we have Calvin and Williams. Baldwin is 6'5" which is mainly why I took him. I suspect he'll be a good red zone thread in the future but for now he is our 4th WR.

#150 - RG Jaymes Brooks: Was cut after signing. Busted pick.

#167 - ROLB Alex Hrebec: Was cut after signing. Busted pick.

#182 - FS Clint Floyd: Was cut after signing. Busted pick.

#186 - K Philip Welch: Was cut after signing. Busted pick.

#197 - QB Kellen Moore: 52/F. He was better then Drew Stanton and we needed a 3rd QB, but that's all he will ever be.

Week 1: Detroit (0-0) @ Minnesota (0-0)

Minnesota 24 - Detroit 19

Stafford was 12/19 for 121 yards before leaving the game with a minor injury. Troy Smith would then go just 3/13 for 38 yards and our O would not do anything the rest of the game.

Kevin Smith ran 14 times for 70 yards and a TD.

Calvin just had 3 grabs for 29 yards but that is too be expected when Smith comes in like that.

Spikes would go down with injury but not miss any long term time, and in his place Guyton had an astounding 17 solo tackles. Ed Johnson would have 2 sacks and Dexter Davis had 1.5 and Delmas had a pick.

That said it just was not enough.

[DeToxRox]

Week 2: Detroit Lions (0-1) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)

Detroit 21 - Jacksonville 17

Stafford was 21/42 for 241 yards with 2 TD - 1 INT in what has to be considered an average to above average game for him. He did enough to win but it wasn't his best work.

Kevin Smith ran just 8 times for 32 yards but he did score a TD.

Calvin rebounds from a bad week with 8 grabs for 67 yards and 2 TD. Pettigrew was also big with 4 catches for 69 yards.

Spikes had 9 solo tackles to lead our D on that front, while we managed 8.5 sacks on the Jags, with Delmas having 2, Avril having 2.5, and Bullocks, Sims and Davis all notching one. Delmas would also add an INT.

The one bad spot was Ciron Black has broken his hand and will be out 9 weeks.

[DeToxRox]

Week 3: Detroit Lions (1-1) vs San Francisco 49'ers (1-1)

Detroit 27 - San Francisco 21

Matt Stafford goes 26/40 for 293 yards with 3 TD - 1 INT as he bounces back nicely from a just okay game last week.

Pettigrew had 8 grabs for 57 yards and 2 TD as he is turning into a quite a safety valve for Stafford. Calvin would have 7 grabs for 84 yards and Derrick Williams had 3 for 44 and a TD. The one bad thing was Dez Briscoe broke his leg and will miss the rest of the year.

On D, Spikes lead all Lions with 9 solo tackles and 4 assists. Ernie Sims would add a sack but no one would pick a pass off on our D.

Still, we move to 2-1 so no real complaints.

[DeToxRox]

Week 4: Detroit Lions (2-1) vs Carolina Panthers (3-0)

Detroit 31 - Carolina 13

Stafford shows up on Monday Night Football and brings his A game with him, completing 23 of 41 for 271 yards with 3 TD and no INT. His completion % was not that good but he made plays and that's what we need.

Kevin Smith ran 15 times for 67 yards and a TD. He isn't getting the touches he did last year but he's been effective when he does get it.

Calvin would have 7 for 106 and a TD. Derrick Williams had 5 for 71 and a TD, and Kevin Smith added another TD through the air.

Spikes was again our leading tackler with 12 solo tackles, 5 assists, 2 TFL and a sack. Cohen, Davis and Marsh would also notch sacks. Daniel Bullocks would also have an INT.

A good win to take us into our bye.

[DeToxRox]

Week 6: Detroit Lions (3-1) @ Green Bay Packers (2-2)

Green Bay 27 - Detroit 6

Matt Stafford leaves with a dislocated ankle, making him miss the next game as well, and we get rocked behind less then stellar play from Troy Smith.

Honestly besides 9 tackles, 3 assists with 4 TFL from Brandon Spikes no one did a damn thing in this game.

We'll have to adjust accordingly vs Chicago.

[DeToxRox]

So I decided to just sim the season as I want to get the created guys in Madden asap.
