The Detroit Lions Podcast

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by Mike ‘The Ambling Bastard’ to conduct a live postgame therapy session for Lions fans frustrated by the loss that the Detroit Lions suffered at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys today. Coming off of their big win against the Patriots, hopes were high for a big win this week. Unfortunately the Cowboys, Lions, and the officials did their best to ensure the even Matthew Stafford and his late-game heroics wouldn’t be enough. Detroit Lions Podcast Postgame Breakdown Highlights of the game include Matthew Stafford’s play, Golden Tate, and Kenny Golladay. Low point were the performances by Jamal Agnew, and the Lions run defense. I’ll have to add that there was some highly questionable officiating on the field today – something Lions fans have become all too accustomed to. In the end, it was a close game that had the Lions in the lead until a last second kick put the Cowboys over the Lions by two points. Heartbreaking, yet still a winnable game.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down this week in Detroit Lions news. Game three saw a shocking turn around for the franchise and turned the pessimism surrounding the team on its head. We discuss the whether or not this was a fluke or a sign of things to come. Jeff Risdon of course joins us for his insight as well. We start the Detroit Lions Podcast with more listener calls, this time in response to the Pats game. “Put ’em on Blast” had a record number of call ins, which we hope continues. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. The Detroit Lions Podcast Breaks Down The New England Patriots From there we go into game review mode. Looking at how the win against the New England Patriots exceeded expectations. It wasn’t perfect, but it was damned near close, and we break down everything that went right for the team. Credit goes out to guys like Theo Riddick, who has not always gotten the benefit of the doubt from us, and Kerryon Johnson. Big credit to Darius Slay, Quandre Diggs, and the rest of the secondary, who truly were the stars of the game as well. More praise is also due to Matt Patricia for a well called and well-played game. A specific emphasis is put on the rest of the season and expectations for the team. We look at continued injury issues for upcoming opponents, both in the NFC North and league-wide. On that topic, the Dallas Cowboys poor performance against the Seattle Seahawks is discussed. We also consider the effect of the loss of starting LB Lee as the team goes on the road to Dallas next week. After all that, it’s time for Riz’s wisdom with Jeff Risdon on the Detroit Lions Podcast. He talks Lions offensive line, the reputation of the team around the league, and what the game against Dallas holds.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case break down this week in Detroit Lions news. Game two was much improved over game one, but definitely not without its mistakes. The Lions went down early in the second half and some late game heroics got them within striking distance, but they couldn’t close the deal. In this episode, discuss the Lions players, coaches, and fans. Of course, in our newest segment, we let our listeners put the team on blast. Jeff Risdon – The Riz – also joins for further analysis. We start the show with more listener calls, this time in response to the 49ers game. “Put ’em on Blast” is now Chris’s favorite segment. These calls give voice to Lions fans, and we will continue to allow our listeners to put *anyone* on blast every week. You call (929) 33-Lions, we’ll put it on the air. Go ahead and vent, it’s the only way to clear the air. From there we go into game review mode. Looking back at the loss to the San Francisco 49ers wasn’t nearly as painful as reviewing the Jets game. There are a number of things that need work, but overall it was a much better outing. From there we discuss a number of individual player efforts and talk about where things are working and where they aren’t. Detroit Lions Podcast Spark Plug Award Winner We have to highlight LeGarrette Blount and his big show of heart this week. His big push on Elijah Lee after a perceived late hit on Matthew Stafford wound up in his ejection. Normally something like that would be perceived as undisciplined, but it provided a spark for the team who scored 14 points to none after that incident. After the game, Kelly Stafford came out supporting LeGarrette for standing up for Matthew.  Standing up for a quarterback like that is a heck of a way to rally a team, and LeGarrette might have just created a turning point for the Detroit Lions. We talk salary cap (special thanks to Scott Warheit for his cap analysis) and what next year might look like for the Lions. A completely different situation than we are used to. Of course it comes with its own special set of problems. Those are good problems to have. We also discuss the injury situation, preview the game against the Patriots, and Case takes us ‘Around The Division’ in Detroit Lions Podcast tradition. Lastly, click on Case’s Lions sweater and check out this amazing line! The Riz Returns After all that, it’s time for Riz’s wisdom with Jeff Risdon. We discuss the improvements we’ve seen from week one to week two, Matthew Stafford and his problems, and what Josh Gordon means to the Patriots. We also try to figure out whether we are going to see Count Chocula or Count Dracula. That part alone is worth the listen.
