Detroit Lions Tickets for Sale

Detroit has not been the home of an NFL Championship since 1957. Then the Lions had Bobby Lane. The trade of Bobby Lane in 1958 prompted a curse that could very well explain the last half a century of struggle. Even the career of Barry Sanders could not bring a Super Bowl appearance to Detroit. The team had playoff tickets for six seasons in the ‘90s thanks to the effort of the tiny running back nobody could tackle. Five of those six years the team went out in the first game on the playoff schedule.

That last appearance, in 1999, had the Lions lose to the Redskins 27-13. The next season was the last season the team would finish with a record at or above .500, but the Lions time in the postseason appeared to be over. The front office brought in football legend Matt Millen as the team president and CEO of football operations in 2001. Each season he tried to load the team with talent, but every year ended without Lions playoff tickets. His most remarkable frustration has been the ability to pick highly touted receivers who have failed to perform. Mike Williams was drafted in the first round of 2005 and Charles Rodgers was chosen in the first round in 2003. Both are no longer with the team having failed to produce anything but heartache and regret.

The Detroit Lions, a relatively old team established in 1929 has had its fair share of hard times on the field and has had limited success, especially post Super Bowl era. The silver and blue based out of Detroit Michigan has fought hard for each win, but in the end, the team has shown its lack of seriousness and dedication on the field. This shows through the 2008 season where the team was the only NFL team in history to losing every game in the season, finishing 0-16. But the teams fan base is dedicated and tickets to the Detroit Lions always sell.

The defense needs a lot of work. The team signed cornerback Travis Fisher, defensive tackle Chuck Darby, and safety Dwight Smith to solidify a defense that allowed 28 points a game. The Lions will likely use the 15th pick in the draft to find help for the defensive line.

The 2008 season has a new pair of receivers fans expect to lead an explosive offense. Roy Williams and Charles Johnson are the two main targets for Jon Kitna. The trio could be very dangerous this season at Ford Field, but they need rookie Kevin Smith or free agent Rudi Johnson to make the defensive fronts respect the short game and free up the secondary to get the wide outs open. If the running game gets going Lions playoff tickets will not be just a dream and the “Fire Millen” signs may start to quit making an appearance at the arena.

The defense needs to give the offense a chance though. The NFC North may be prime for the taking by any of the four teams, but the Lions will not be at the top of the division if the game situations force Kitna to throw every down like the last few years. If the defense again is a paper tiger, then any hope of playoff tickets will be gone, no matter if Kitna eclipses 4,000 passing yards, each receiver sets new records, and Kevin Smith turns out to be the real thing.

Ford Field will be an exciting place to watch high octane football this season. The Lions will a have a wide open schedule with the NFC Central in flux.

The Detroit Lions, a relatively old team established in 1929 has had its fair share of hard times on the field and has had limited success, especially post Super Bowl era. The silver and blue based out of Detroit Michigan has fought hard for each win, but in the end, the team has shown it's lack of seriousness and dedication on the field. This shows through the 2008 season where the team was the only NFL team in history to lost every game during the season, finishing 16-0. But the teams fan base is dedicated and tickets to the Detroit Lions always sell.

The Lions backfield remains as pitiful as it had been in the first season without Sanders. A run by committee approach has yielded little more than the fourth-worst rushing effort in the league. Kevin Smith is now the best fo the bunch after Jahvid Best once again landed on the IR. There is increased pressure on Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams to provide the change of pace and the third down push to earn a new set of downs.

Detroit’s strength is the passing game. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is one of three players to surpass 5,000 yards and three players to throw more than 40 touchdown passes. He did throw an awful lot, but that proved a necessity during the regular season. His favorite target, Calvin Johnson, led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,681. For a while it appeared he might break Randy Moss’s single season touchdown record, but he slowed down his pace and finished with a still very impressive 16. This is the dynamic duo, while the Stafford-tight end Brandon Pettigrew connection is one of the best possession valves in the league.

Detroit also has to play defense to advance, especially in a postseason field with football teams like the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and Green Bay Packers. However, given the porous state of the unit, Detroit Lion playoff tickets may just be those to see a barnburner breaking scoring records. However, the Lions still possess one of the most feared defensive lines in the league and they need to pound the quarterback and any running back trying to smash through the middle for a real shot at the Super Bowl.

The TicketSpecialists have the Detroit Lions tickets for every playoff game on the NFL postseason schedule. It is unlikely any of those games will be coming to Ford Field, but those fans willing to travel can find great seats to enjoy their blessed Lions as they try and engineer an improbable Super Bowl run. The first playoff game is on January 7, 2012 at the Superdome at 8:00 PM ET.
