The Detroit Lions Podcast

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Managing Editor of LionsWire.com Jeff Risdon. Together they break down the latest Lions news and look at the team in ways you never imagined. Of course they start out by discussing the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Of course they share the tale of the great suite experience at Ford Field provided by Sandman. There’s even video documentation of the fun. From there we discuss Jarrad Davis’s improved performance this week, and take on the subject of how far away the wins are. We also contemplate what it might mean to sit Matthew Stafford for the remainder of the year. Lastly, we take a look ahead to the game against the Washington Redskins. Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Dallas Cowboys The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Dallas Cowboys. In a game where the Lions (by all accounts) should have been blown out, the Detroit Lions second string played to within a single score in their loss. Fans started the game expecting a spanking, and wound up frustrated by a team that lost the game by a single score. Fans were surprised by backup quarterback Jeff Driskel’s performance in this game and we’ve decided we’re ready for some Driskmagic against the Washington Redskins. We also look at Jarrad Davis’s turnaround in this game and talk about why he might just pop again next week. Then the boys ask the question, “how far away are the wins?” It’s a great conversation about many aspects of the team that folks need to contemplate as they assess their favorite football team. Finally we look ahead to the game against the Redskins on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Riz didn’t say it out loud, but he is sticking to his 5-win season prediction as we walk through the remainder of the schedule. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Managing Editor of LionsWire.com Jeff Risdon. Together they break down the latest Lions news and look at the team in ways you never imagined. Of course they start out by announcing the winner of the Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys suite contest. They announce the winner for the Peter von Panda Sega retro gaming system. They discuss the Lions loss against the Chicago Bears, and players we may not see in 2020 in Detroit. We have a grand conversation about what the plan is in Detroit. What is the front office after, and where are they going? Matthew Stafford and his ailments become a topic of conversation, and we look ahead to the Dallas Cowboys. There’s still more from there. Chris and Riz on a roll, the best Lions content anywhere… Detroit Lions Podcast Dallas Cowboys Preview The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Chicago Bears last week. A surprise start by Jeff Driskel and a Matthew Stafford injury set the tone for the day. We discuss how well Driskel played (you may be surprised) and how close the Lions came to winning. Later in the show, we move the look forward to how the team may do against the Dallas Cowboys. There are a number of key pieces of the Lions puzzle to discuss, and we bring them to the fore. Who might not be on the team in 2020? What is the plan? What the heck is Bob Quinn doing? Matt Patricia? Is everything on fire, or going according to plan? The Detroit Lions Podcast takes a step back and helps you take a look at the big picture. We also squeeze a look at Matthew Stafford in with a conversation about Riz’s trip to his orthopedist. We cover these topics and all types of things in between in this week’s show – it’s a masterpiece. Check Us Out On YouTube!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy “Sandman” Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions loss to the Chicago Bears. We also take your calls – and a one in particular asks about what has become of this Lions team. This was a game the Lions were expected to win, again. With late notice that Matthew Stafford wouldn’t play Jeff Driskel did his best to keep the Lions in the game until the very end. Detroit Lions Podcast Laments Lions Injuries Chris woke to the news of Matthew Stafford being out for today’s game and really wanted to go back to bed. This Lions team is built upon the idea that the offense will score enough point to win games. The entire team has been place upon Matthew Stafford’s shoulders. With an injury there, the Lions are in big trouble. Jeff Driskel did an admirable job leading the team on late notice, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the hapless Chicago Bears. The Lions basically populated the field with second stringers today. The team is made of critical injuries and walking wounded amongst its star players right now. The produce on the field showed just how bad things are. With this loss, it’s time to write off the Lions playoff hopes for the season, but there are a number of things this team can still accomplish.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case discuss the latest Lions news, look ahead to the Chicago Bears, and bring out the details of a killer new contest. Get ready to win tickets to join Chris and Sandman in a suite for the Detroit Lions game against the Dallas Cowboys game. Detroit Lions Chicago Bears Preview The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Oakland Raiders last week, but this week presents a different opportunity. The Lions are facing a Chicago Bears team lead by the comically bad Mitch Trubisky. If ever there was a Lions and Bears game that the Lions should win – this is it.  While the Bears have a solid defense. The rest of the team is limited by their quarterback. Remember the Bears hilariously traded a ton of draft capital to draft Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes. Chris and Case take a good look at the game and tell you what to expect. The boys also take a look at the playoff picture for the Lions. The game isn’t over yet, but there’s an uphill battle to get there. In this episode we review the team’s performance so far and compare this year vs. last. We also take a look at how the Lions have performed against common opponents in relation to their NFC North rivals. Interesting information, and good perspective on the team for folks who are feeling down right now. Big Contest For Patreon Subscribers!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy “Sandman” Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions loss to the Oakland Raiders. We also take your calls – and a number of them about what has become of this Lions team. In a game that lived up to its “shootout” billing, the Lions defense couldn’t get the stops they needed to outscore the Raiders. Detroit Lions Podcast Laments Opportunities Lost On a day when the rest of the NFC lost, the Lions proved again that they can’t seize the opportunity. Much like the game against the Green Bay Packers, the Lions couldn’t seal a win that was within their grasp. A win that would have changed the calculus on the season. This is a problem that has plagued this franchise for years, and Chris finds it absolutely inexplicable. The phone calls this week represent a disappointed fan base, and rightfully so. Chris reminds listeners that while the wins aren’t there, this team has been in every game until the very end this year – except one. It is an improvement over last year, just not as much as we wanted from this team. Things are getting to a point where folks need those W’s to believe – and Coach Patricia and Bob Quinn need to start delivering.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Andy “Sandman” Morse to discuss the latest Lions news, look ahead to the Oakland Raiders, and break news on a killer new contest in which you could win tickets to join Chris and Sandman in a suite for the Detroit Lions Dallas Cowboys game at Ford Field. Detroit Lions Podcast Dallas Cowboys Preview Lions came out with a win against the New York Giants last week, this week is another ball of wax. The Lions are facing an Oakland Raiders team who haven’t played a home game since week 2. They are going to be hungry to show their fans a strong game. It’s likely they’ll be attacking the Lions linebackers this game, the Lions front seven are going to need to play a great game to get this win. Chris and Sandman also have a great conversation about the Arizona Cardinals rebuild. How well they played against the San Francisco 49ers, and how their GM is faring. That leads us to make some comparisons and evaluate the Lions’ progress on the development front. Big Contest For Patreon Subscribers!

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Detroit Lions subreddit moderator, Punk Rawkin’ Trev. We fire the studio up discuss the Lions home win over the New York Giants and take your calls. This was a game the Lions were expected to win, though the New York Giants were able to field their entire offense for the first time this season. That offense included Lions fan favorite Golden Tate – he definitely gets some talk time. This was a solid win for the Lions, but it still left fans with some questions. Detroit Lions Podcast Calls This A Foundational Win Even though the Lions were projected to win, Lions fans know every game has its opportunities for disappointment. The Giants were able to make it seem like a game during garbage time when they came within 5 points of the Lions. They chose the inevitable onside kick, but luckily the Lions played it perfectly and the ball rolled out of bounds. Nothing like ending the game in the victory formation.  This win brings the Lions record to 3-3-1 with a number of winnable games ahead. In a return to our happy place, The Detroit Lions Podcast doesn’t need to provide a therapy session after this week’s game! There are still plenty of things to take away from this game that the team needs to work on, but for the most part, the team quieted doubters in the short term. As is always the case, we take your calls and discuss the team’s performance in today’s game. We are also asked to think about the team in a broader perspective by a few callers – well worth the listen. It’s a big show, with a lot to discuss, and the next few games will define this team.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case look at the most important Detroit Lions news of the week.  They are also joined by Jeff Risdon to discuss the shocking Quandre Diggs trade and a whole lot more. There is a lot to discuss this week as the Lions look ahead to the New York Giants and we’ve got it all right here for you. Detroit Lions Podcast Vikings Review Last Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings wasn’t the game Lions fans were looking for. The defense was terrible. It wasn’t a few plays, players, or even a few positions. The Lions defense was across the board terrible last Sunday. From coaching to technique, there was very little that went right for these Lions. This leaves us a lot to talk about. It may have even been the final straw in the team trading Quandre Diggs to the Seattle Seahawks. Diggs was a player loved by both fans and players alike. Hearing the news of his trade was heartbreaking for many, and the move left many fans inconsolable. Even Darius Slay seemed to be having a hard time with the trade. There could be a number of things at play here, and we’re certain that there was more to the story that we’ve heard so far. Jeff Risdon brings some insider info to the Detroit Lions Podcast and helps us dissect the move.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Case (of all people) to discuss the Lions home loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Another game in which the Lions were projected to lose, they proved the prognosticators correct. This time they have no one to blame but themselves. It wasn’t the officials, bad luck, or anything else. Almost as if a giant karmic ‘F-you’ to the Lions after they had us thinking they were a good call or good bounce away from winning. The team is playing better than they did last year. It’s just that they aren’t pulling in the wins, and games like this make people believe they are just hapless. Detroit Lions Podcast – Down On The Defense! This is the first loss of the season that really took hope away from fans based on the team’s actual performance. Was this week’s performance an anomaly, or is this really the Lions team we will be watching for the remainder of the year?  It’s not time to give up, but we now know just how bad this defense can be. The next few weeks will tell us what we really have here. As always after a loss, The Detroit Lions Podcast provides the therapy session Lions fans need. We take your calls and discuss the team’s in today’s game. There is a ton to discuss here, but we believe that good teams have bad games – we just need to see what comes next.  Big show, lots to talk about, and the next few games will define this team.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Fox Sports Rules Analyst Dean Blandino. After this week’s officiating debacle in Green Bay, Lions fans have a lot of questions and need answers. We take your calls and questions to help shed light on what happened. We also talk about what needs to be fixed and how to affect the situation as fans. Detroit Lions Podcast Finds The Tattle Tale Had you heard the news that David Bakhtiari did some tattling (his words) on Trey Flowers which resulted in two terrible penalty calls? As a result we also spend a bit of time discussing how players chirping at officials may affect their calls on the field. Dean also explains the review process works for evaluating officials. Every play, grading, demotions, drug tests, and even firings. Dean also opens up about the one thing he would have changed if he went back in time to his job with the NFL. He opens up with a really interesting answer that is worth the price of admission on its own. Chris’s answer on the other hand, not so interesting.
