However, it opens the door for Big Dan Gronkowski to shine……I hope they bring him up from the PS now.

……But at kleast they are making the right decision to have surgery and not play htrough it…….This team isnt going to win many more games anyway…..the expierience would have been nice but get the surgery and be healthy for 2010 Brandon!!!

Surely, The Lions must rank number one in that category. Every year, year in and year out, we get killed by injuries. Would be nice to see if The N.F.L. tracked those statistics and see where we ranked versus the 31 other teams. Down right sickening. Well, I guess this means all of our draft prospects will see action this year…

Apparently this team was in much more disarray in other areas besides the quality of players than we knew about.
This is definitely a testament to our strength and conditioning team. They, along with a few players and Stan Kwan, need to be replaced during this coming off season.
Our injury list seems to grow every week. Its embarrassing.
I am sure most fans were hoping to add some more starters to the lineup in this upcoming draft, but we will continue to have to add depth players as well since almost all of our draftees have been injured at one time or another this year.

gronk should get to see some time now at least

anyone find it intresting that are 2 wins this year came after playing the vikings??

Makes sense. You play a good team, get beat, then face a weaker team and have a chance. Cleveland is just terrible this year so they had to get that one to climb one step further out of the basement.

If they bother to draft some O-linemen in the first few rounds they should get better next year. At the time I said the Lions should take Micheal Oher and regarless of this injury to Pettigrew they should have. Oher can play either tackle position and might be the best O-linemean taken is this past draft. Pettigrew looks like he is going to be good, but the Lions #1 need is improving the O-line.

If it could get any worse… Our TE is out for the season, great just great. Now the Lions have to start focusing on bigger things like an offensive line. Pick up a couple of good guards or tackles for next season and progressively they will be stronger. Protection allows Matthew Stafford to again PROGRESS (which apprently hasn’t happened in the last 5 years) and get the ball down the field. With a big push also to get Kevin Smith somewhere and work the running game. But anyways, you must learn to get better and injuries will make you see how important it is to be conservative.

Let’s just win it and go home.

And just when Grew was starting to really come along. Here’s to hoping he heals fast.
