8 Detroit Lions Facing Make-or-Break Seasons in 2011
Once upon a time, long, long ago, the Detroit Lions were a team devoid of talent. Be it talent on the field, the sidelines, or the front office, there was not much to be excited about as a Lions fan way back then. Turns out that was actually a little over two years ago. Doesn't it seem like much longer? Moreover, doesn't it seem like it would take a team with no talent, no leadership, no ...

Detroit Lions Draft Analysis: Rookie LB Doug Hogue Is the Next Lawrence Timmons
With so much emphasis placed on Detroit’s front three selections in April’s draft, former Syracuse stand out Doug Hogue’s abilities have gone widely overlooked.  Though Hogue is an exceptional athlete, he is still learning the proper technique vital to the outside linebacker position. He has made a name for himself for his ability to cover a lot of ground with the propensity to make big plays ...

The Lions have won four NFL Championships the last in 1957 giving the club the second-longest NFL championship drought behind the Arizona Cardinals who last won in 1947 (as the Chicago Cardinals). The Lions are one of four current NFL teams that have yet to qualify for the Super Bowl the only one with an unbroken NFL existence dating to before 1995 and the only one in the NFC. The team has qualified for the playoffs only nine times in the more than 50 years since winning the 1957 championship. The Lions hold the second longest regular season losing streak in NFL history losing 19 straight games from the final week of the 2007 season and ending on September 27 2009 when the Lions defeated the Washington Redskins 1914. It is second only to the 197677 Tampa Bay Buccaneers' losing streak of 26. Also since the NFL's expansion to 32 teams in 2002 the Lions are the only NFC team to not make the playoffs.

Why Titus Young was the right pick, Lions fans
The Detroit Lions made Boise State WR Titus Young the 44th overall draft pick in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft. Instantly Lions fans were upset over this pick as they already sport one of the best receivers in pro football in Calvin Johnson, they just drafted a third wide out in the [...] Why Titus Young was the right pick, Lions fans is a post from: The Inquisitr

They had won all their preseason games that year and were the only team to do so.2 They are only the second team to go winless without a tie (next to the 014 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers) since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.

The design consists of silver helmets silver pants and either blue or white jerseys. Lions logo (19702002). A variation of this logo was used until the 2009 NFL season when the new logo was implemented.

There have been minor changes to the uniform design throughout the years such as changing the silver stripe patterns on the jersey sleeves and changing the colors of the jersey numbers. White trim was added to the logo in 1970. In 1998 the team wore blue pants with their white jerseys along with grey socks but dropped that combination after the season. In 1999 the 'TV numbers' on the sleeves were moved to the shoulders.

Analyzing the Detroit Lions 2011 NFL Draft Pick by Pick
The Detroit Lions have become one of the most talked about teams coming into the 2011 season. Part of it comes from their strong finish to the 2010 season and the other from their picks in this year's draft. A combination of young talent, luck and players fulfilling their true potential could lead to Detroit's first playoff birth since 1999. I harbor both feelings of excitement and skepticism ...

The shade of blue used for Lions uniforms and logos is officially known as "Honolulu blue" which is supposedly inspired by the color of the waves off the coast of Hawaii. The shade was chosen by Cy Huston the Lions first vice president and general manager and of the choice he said: "They had me looking at so many blues I am blue in the face" Huston said about the selection. "But anyway it's the kind of blue I am told that will match with silver." In 1994 every NFL team wore throwback jerseys and the Lions' were similar to the jerseys used during their 1935 championship season. The helmets and pants were solid silver the jerseys Honolulu blue with silver numbers and the jersey did not have 'TV numbers' on the sleeves. The team wore solid blue socks along with black shoes. The helmets also did not have a logo as helmets were simple leather back then. The Lions also wore '50s-style jerseys during their traditional Thanksgiving Day games from 2001 to 2004 as the NFL encouraged teams to wear throwback jerseys on Thanksgiving Day. In 2003 the team added black trim to their logo and the jerseys. The face masks on the helmet changed from blue to black with the introduction of the new color. Additionally an alternate home field jersey which makes black the dominant color (in place of Honolulu Blue) was introduced in 2005. For 2008 the team dropped the black alternate jerseys in favor of a throwback uniform to commemorate the franchise's 75th anniversary. The throwback uniform became the team's permanent alternate jersey in 2009 replacing the former black alternate.4 The Lions officially unveiled new logo designs and uniforms on April 20 2009. The Lion on the helmet now has a flowing mane and fangs and the font of "Lions" is more modern.

Naveed Carim and Brett Jaksim were discovered by Martin Mayhew to work under Sheldon White in all scouting capacities. They have brought on their own system of player evaluation called the "PANDIAN" system which they developed while attending the University of Michigan and the University of Oregon respectively. Radio and television Main article: List of Detroit Lions broadcasters Radio Main article: Detroit Lions Radio Network The Lions' flagship radio stations are WXYT-FM 97.1 FM and WXYT-AM 1270 AM. Dan Miller does play-by-play Jim Brandstatter does color commentary and Tony Ortiz provides sideline reports.6 If a conflict with Detroit Tigers or Detroit Red Wings coverage arises only WXYT-FM serves as the Lions' flagship. The Lions and WXYT AM/FM renewed their partnership for three more seasons on October 9 2009.7 TV Preseason Main article: Detroit Lions Television Network From 2008 to 2010 WWJ-TV has been the flagship television station for Lions pre-season games.8 The announcers were Matt Shepard on play-by-play and Rob Rubick with color commentary. Steve Courtney and Lions Hall of Famer Charlie Sanders hosted the pre-game show and halftime show and provide sideline reports. WXYZ-TV will assume the role as flagship station beginning in the 2011 season.9 Regular season Regular season games are broadcast regionally on Fox except when the Lions play an AFC team in Detroit in which case the game airs regionally on CBS. The Thanksgiving Classic game in Detroit is always televised nationally on either Fox or CBS depending on who the visiting team is. The Detroit Lions are the only NFC team that hasn't yet played on NBC (the Houston Texans hold that distinction for the AFC) when they got the NFL back in 2006. The Lions' official regular season show of record is The Ford Lions Report. For regular season games versus NFC opponents when Fox doesn't have a double header WJBK produces a live postgame show. Blackouts The Lions' winless performance in 2008 and 214 season in 2009 coupled with the effects of the Late-2000s recession in Michigan led to several local broadcast blackouts as local fans did not purchase enough tickets by the 72-hour blackout deadline. In 2008 five of the Lions' final six home games of the season did not sell out with the Thanksgiving game being the exception. The first blackout in the seven-year history of Ford Field was on October 26 2008 against the Washington Redskins. The previous 50 regular season home games had been sellouts. The second home game of the 2009 season in which the Lions broke the losing streak (also against the Washington Redskins) was blacked out locally as well as the comeback victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Lions had only one blackout in 2010 the Washington Redskins game10 which the Lions won 3725. Games were also often blacked out at the Lions' previous home the (perhaps over-sized) 80000-seat Pontiac Silverdome despite winning seasons and the success and popularity of Barry Sanders.

Detroit Lions: Why They Will Not Field a Playoff Team in 2011-2012
I told you this was coming, so don't get mad at me. Last week, I gave the case for why the Lions could field their first playoff team in over a decade in 2011. And I told you then I would be flipping the scenario the following week, because I'm not in either camp yet. See, it's not that the Lions are definitely going to miss the playoffs. They have a shot, and even the national media is starting ...
