Posted in Detroit Lions | Leave a comment

The buzz is really kicked in for the 2012 NFL Draft. The Lions are now 22 well 21 picks away from making their first pick of this years draft (With Andrew Luck going to the Colts and assuming Robert Griffin III will be taken by the Redskins).

A.{LIONS}With the Lions clinching a playoff berth, have they met your season’s expectations? Or do you expect more at this point?

Yes, my expectations have been met by the Lions. I expected this team to have the success they are having. I said that this season would set the bar for the Detroit Lions. Although they are not playing for a division title, this week they are playing for their 11th victory. In the season of no excuses and no explanations,  injuries and suspensions have been no problem.

As a Lions fan, I want more. Not only have the Lions played meaningful football in December they will showcase more in the month of January. They can beat any playoff team with better efforts than was given in the regular season. The hard part will be stringing these wins together against the NFC’s best. I have suffered long enough. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us. I want it all.
