The Detroit Lions Podcast

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and tony Ortiz take a look ahead to the Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans game. We also take a look at what’s happened in the Lions GM search so far this week as well as evaluate the process so far. Tennessee Titans Tough to Stop One of the keys for the Lions against the Tennessee Titans is going to be their ability to score against the Titans defense. The Lions have  a big question mark surrounding the health of Matthew Stafford, and he will be needed if the Lions have any hope against the Tennessee Titans. The good news is that the Tennessee titans run a very similar offense to what the Lions have for the last few years, so they have some experience in how to exploit it. That being said, the Titans offense and Derrick Henry is likely to run all over the Lions defense. We have the injury report, Las Vegas line, predictions and more preparing you for this game. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks GM Candidates We spend some time discussing the Lions GM search, and the process around it. The Lions have set themselves up much different than they did last time. In 2020 they are ensuring that they take the organization and its culture into the process, which is something they missed last time by outsourcing the work to the NFL’s suggested search “guru.” This is something that has been undersold for a long time, and the importance of culture, as well as its nuance are important considerations when making outside hires. It’s possible to foster a winning culture while still working within the organization’s mores. We find the approach refreshing and believe it will present much more success than the last go around in this space. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take a look at the Lions & Packers game, the hiring of Chris Spielman, some insane Lions stats, Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay, and look ahead to the Tennessee Titans. It’s a long show packed with a ton of information. Tennessee Titans Trap Many times in the NFL, teams are lulled into a sense of accomplishment in which they look past their next opponent. They believe they are good enough to beat a team that’s down on its luck, and don’t take them seriously. The Tennessee Titans are poised for just such an opportunity in their game against the Lions. A home game for the Tennessee Titans makes this the perfect setup. Mike Vrabel is a smart coach, and I don’t expect that to be the modus operandi for the Tennessee Titans this week, but as Lions fans, we can have hope, right? Also, the Lions played the Packers pretty tough, and have a team that is playing hard and fighting for interim coach, Darrell Bevell. It will definitely be an interesting game, The Tennessee Titans are a tough team, but if things land just right, we could see the Lions pull one out in an unlikely situation. Detroit Lions Podcast Loves The Chris Spielman Hire It was announced shortly before we recorded that the Lions had hired Chris Spielman as their “Special Assistant to Chairman and President & CEO”.  There are a lot of “ands” in that title, so it sounds like a pretty big role. Its big enough that Spielman immediately resigned from calling games for Fox and jumped in with a fire and passion that might be just right for this team right now.  We also discuss Matthew Stafford’s surrounding cast throughout his career and some talk about what might be going on with Kenny Golladay.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman share the good, the bad, and the ugly around the Detroit Lions loss to the Green Bay Packers. To be fair, it was a fun game and the Lions were competitive, but the Green Bay Packers has just a little more in the tank (with some help from the refs) and got it done. Green Bay Packers Games Have a Common Theme There is always controversy when the Lions play the Green Bay Packers. For some reason the officials seem to do their part to ensure a Packers victory when these teams meet. While it wasn’t as egregious a performance as the face mask game, the Lions wound up with an injured quarterback as a result of a terrible call on replay. Marvin caught it, we all know it and saw it, but evidently the officials felt that the Green Bay Packers needed a little extra help. Detroit Lions Podcast Still Saw A Fun Game For the Lions to only lose this game by a touchdown was surprising. Many teams have had 40 burgers hung on them by the Packers this year, and the Lions were able (with a hobbled defense) to keep the game competitive until the very end, and were never really out of it. The other thing that stands out, this was a fun game to watch. It’s been a long time since the Lions were this fun to watch, even in a loss this was a fun game for Lions fans. It’s something that we didn’t really notice until the Bears game, but Lions football had really become a chore to watch. These last two games have been extremely enjoyable.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview the Lions game against the Green Bay Packers. With a late game on Sunday the Green Bay Packers are coming to Detroit with Aaron Rodgers and hope to lay more of their brand of dominating football on the Lions. The Lions are fielding a number of injuries, some key, which isn’t going to help their chances. Green Bay Packers Are Favorites The Green Bay Packers are bringing a 9-3 record into Detroit to play a 5-7 Lions team lead by an interim coach who found a divisional victory in his first game since being promoted. This week is a whole different ball of wax, and the Lions are going to need every bounce to go their way in order to put the Packers down. Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones are at the top of their game right now, and Davante Adams could be the best wide receiver in the league at this point. The ‘Smith brothers’ on defense present a formidable challenge for the Lions offense, and help make the Green Bay Packers a total package. Detroit Lions Podcast Sets It Up The Lions have played the Packers pretty toughly the last few years, so there’s still hope for the Lions in this match-up. It’s not guaranteed to be all cheese wheels, but the Lions needs things to go their way. We discuss the injury report, key match-ups, keys to the game, the Vegas odds, and predict the final outcome. We dive in on the migraine vs. concussion issue with D’Andre Swift, and also discuss a bit about a missing key ability for Kenny Golladay – availability. Also, we dive in on the NFC Player of the Week honors from last week, and why (or why not) Matthew Stafford deserved it.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case bring you the latest Detroit Lions news and information. We break down the win against the Chicago Bears, a look at a series of individual player performances, an analysis of the coaching change, a look ahead to the Green Bay Packers, and we take you ‘Around The Division’. Detroit Lions Podcast Coaching Analysis The Chicago Bears couldn’t hold the Lions down, and after some second half adjustments, the Lions defense finally showed up to a game. Coaches Darrell Bevell and Cory Undlin made some interesting changes to the scheme that gave the players more freedom to utilize their talents and to give fans an entertaining game against the Chicago Bears. It was finally a fun game to watch for Lions fans. The win certainly didn’t hurt but what a difference a coach makes to the enjoyment of a game. We discuss what else it might take for Interim Coach Darrell Bevell to hold down the head coaching position, and make a comparison to a much-loved Lions coach, Wayne Fontes. It was an entertaining game that one can’t help but think had a different outcome that it would have with the previous coaching regime. Green Bay Packers Are In The Way We look ahead to the Green Bay Packers knowing full well that they are one of the best teams in the NFC. There seems to be that little fact that the Lions have consistently played them very closely over the last few years, and the Lions players have a lot to play for. Getting a coach that makes things so much better and helps them have fun with the game they grew up with means a lot to a group of guys like this, and I’d be hard-pressed to say they don’t want to win for the guy that improved their lives so much. We don’t predict the Lions to win, but there’s that small glimmer of hope, and if they were to pull one out against the Green Bay Packers – just wow. After two division victories, Darrell Bevell could be on his way to his first permanent coaching position.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Sandman kick off ‘Victory Sunday’ after the Lions win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It was a classic Lions comeback led by Matthew Stafford and with an unexpected game-changing play by the Lions defense. Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell manages to achieve in a single game what Matt Patricia never could in his tenure with Detroit, beat the Chicago Bears – something worth celebrating. Heads up, this is a celebratory podcast. Lions fans deserve to have some fun and enjoy the victory, to savor it, and we’re here to help. Chicago Bears Kept Lions In The Game The Chicago Bears just couldn’t put the Lions away today, they took the leads with an early field goal, but the Lions hung around within striking distance for the entire game. Then, it happened. The defense came up with a crucial turnover and Matthew Stafford led the Lions to another comeback victory. This one was sweeter. After having lost to the Chicago Bears in the last 4 meetings, getting a victory on Bevell’s first game at the helm meant a lot. The game was more fun to watch, and the team reacted well to Bevell. Detroit Lions Podcast Sees Changes Cory Undlin instituted a number of defensive changes, and they made a significant difference in the Lions results. So much so that the Lions only allowed 7 points in the second half. Previously the Lions have averaged more points allowed in the third quarter alone. We saw Matthew Stafford in the shotgun more than we used to, and to good effect. He was turned loose a bit more, and was able to do those Matthew Stafford things we’ve all grown to love. As a fan, the game was a heck of a lot more fun to watch. Overall a good game, with an excellent result and one worth celebrating. The Lions have a long road to recovery ahead, but this was the first step.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris, Jeff Risdon, and Tony Ortiz preview Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. There is a lot of tension in the Chicago Bears locker room, the Lions on the other hand have just had a weight lifted. We weigh in on both and determine whether the Lions are going to be able to come out on top of the Chicago Bears Chicago Bears Drama In The Locker Room After the Chicago Bears embarrassing loss to Green Bay last Sunday night, Coach Nagy said the team needed to have some “personal pride”  as he excoriated the defensive performance. If a player can get angry because a coach tells him he’s on his way to being a Calvin Johnson level receiver, you know damn well something like this can turn a locker room quickly. A Chicago Bears loss this week could very quickly spell the end of Matt Nagy’s time in Chicago with Ryan Pace likely to be right behind him. We discuss whether this gives the players something to play for or against this week, as it adds an interesting angle to the game. Detroit Lions Podcast Addresses The Lions Situation We hadn’t had an opportunity to discuss the Lions Coaching and GM situation with Tony Ortiz yet, so we spend some time discussing what this opportunity means for Darrell Bevell, and what characteristics we’re looking for in a coach and a GM. We discuss post-coach-firing bounce backs and what it could mean for the Lions. There’s also a great article written by Ash Thompson about Bob Quinn restoring the Lions reputation that we discuss ahead of our game preview. We cover the Injury report, Vegas odds, keys to the game, match-ups, and give you a final prediction. We even have a couple of laughs along the way.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon and Sandman to discuss the breaking news that Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn have been fired by the Detroit Lions organization. Sheila Ford Hamp and Rod Wood held a press conference after the news broke to take questions and delivered a clear message about the current situation. They also did a great job of leaving their options open as the process moves forward.Detroit Lions Podcast Gives Sheila Ford Hamp an ‘A’ Grade So FarLast year the Ford family gave a clear indication of what it would take for the current regime to survive, they didn’t meet the standard, and were thus let go. This is the first appearance by Sheila Ford Hamp in her role as team owner bringing significant change to the Lions organization, and she did so perfectly. Her delivery and ability not to box herself into a bad position with the press served her well in delivering the message of the day, while allowing the process to determine the road forward. So far a great leading hand by Ford Hamp.The Writing Was On The Wall For Matt Patricia and Bob QuinnWe’ve discussed it extensively, but the loss to the Carolina Panthers was really the last straw for Matt Patricia as Detroit Lions head coach. We discussed Bob Quinn’s draft success in our last show, and it was obvious that he wasn’t performing where he needed to be either. While Mike Vrabel would have been our preference as head coach, there’s likely no possibility he would have done better with the talent that Bob Quinn gave him. We were all in on this duo, but they’ve shown they didn’t have what it took, and it’s time for the Lions to move toward their inevitable rebuild.Please Continue To Help With St. JudeOur St. Jude fundraiser will continue through December 18th, so please help out if you can.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the Lions Thanksgiving Day game against the Houston Texans. We also chat about the Carolina Panthers game as a turning point for Coach Matt Patricia and General Manager Bob Quinn. The Houston Texans Present An Interesting Opponent The Houston Texans are having a dumpster fire of a year in 2020, much like the Detroit Lions. There isn’t a whole lot to play for beyond pride and conversely a draft position. Neither team’s leadership is in a position to care too much about draft position, so a game for pride it is. We walk through strengths and weaknesses of the Houston Texans, the injury report, and our final game predictions. Our recommendation? Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and don’t let the Lions (or the Houston Texans) wreck it for you. Its great background noise, but time with your family will be much more productive. Detroit Lions Podcast Looks At Bob Quinn’s Draft Results We take a bit to look back at Bob Quinn’s draft results and what they might mean for his future with the team. We’ll rank hit vs. miss and give you the overall hit percentage for Quinn. Spoiler alert – the team plays like they draft. With that information we discuss whether Quinn, Patricia, or both will be looking for a new employer after this season. This becomes the baseline for some in-depth work we will be doing on the front office hiring process. We hope to arm you with the information you need before the process starts so you can watch along as things unfold and make good assessments in real time. We’ll have guests and content over the course of the next few shows to provide you a deep dive into what happens day-to-day in those jobs, what to expect during the interview, and a lot more. Really good content/information coming even though the football isn’t so hot.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Sandman to discuss the Lions defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. It wasn’t just a game in which the Lions were defeated, but the way in which they lost that was incredibly demoralizing for fans. You could feel the spark of hope being snuffed as the game against the Carolina Panthers played out.Carolina Panthers Stronger Than The Score IndicatesThere were two touchdowns negated by interceptions in the end zone – but those occurred after the Carolina Panthers marched down the field on long strong drives. The Lions defense seemed to be on the field for the entire game. With no execution on offense, one can’t expect much more that a shutout – and that’s exactly what the Lions anemic offense offered up.Detroit Lions Podcast AnalysisThere is a lot about to take place with the team’s front office and coaches. We discuss some potential scenarios and the high and low possibilities of each one. How good is the job in Detroit going to be? Who will we be bringing in and how good is the Detroit coaching job? What should we expect?
