Week 11 Itinerary

Alright, we're getting into the intense portion of the schedule for the Lions, but they need to take care of business this week versus Carolina before looking ahead to Green Bay on Thanksgiving. Last week was terribly painful, but it's in the rear-view mirror now and we have to live with the reality that the Lions are going to have to work their ass off to make the playoffs this year.

Amid all of the panic this week, there were some great reads in the Lions blogosphere. Here's a taste:

My Stuff:
I went kind of crazy this week, especially on this site.

I recapped my trip to Vegas that was almost marred by the terrible loss to the Bears.
I wrote a brief summary of the Bears game, breaking down missed penalty calls, what went wrong on offense and our playoff chances for the future.
I also broke down Stafford's terrible game, and examined if it really was the wind that caused his terrible play.
As always, on Pride Of Detroit, I did a video breakdown (this week, of special teams) and a Carolina Preview.

Stuff Better Than Mine:

Ty continues to kill it. He wrote a great article breaking down the running game and run defense at The Lions In Winter
Nate at Holy Schwartz! is back and kicked off his return with an entertaining breakdown of lame celebrations by the next two Lions' opponents.
Over at Bleacher Report, Ty also did some film breakdown of Stafford. He broke down the same play that I did on this website, but noticed something I did not. Nate Burleson was wiiiiiide open.

Moving Pictures Time!
