Does Patricia get another year at coaching? Washington/Detroit reactions Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Even without Stafford, there was no reason for the Lions to not win on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Instead, they blew the lead late and allowed Dwayne Haskins to become the hero of the day. Jeremy and Chris break down another wretched game, and question how the Lions even dig out of this mess at this point. Does Matt Patricia get his third year coaching? It seems uncertain now! Also talk about Chase Young, draft position, fast food and plenty of mailbag questions.

The backup QB in Detroit is...good? Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Chris, Jeremy and John carve up another Lions loss. The Cowboys came to town, brought their fans and stomped it all out - but the Lions offense was actually respectable in this game and came close to stealing something even. Too bad the defense can't do its job! They dissect performances from Bo Scarbrough, Jeff Driskel and maybe a few players you've heard of too. While some in the media make a bit of noise over the Cowboys fans filling Ford Field, the trio explain why it's not that big of a deal. In the mailbag, questions about TJ Hockenson, placing Stafford on IR, and Chris geeks out.

Schadenfreude with the Bears agonizing season, with Robert Zeglinski Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

Robert Zeglinski is back, which means it's time to slag off the Chicago Bears. The Lions aren't having a great season, which means for Lions fans there's always time to root for the Bears to suck too. Zeglinski gives Jeremy and Ryan the full deal on Mitch Trubisky, who he calls the worst starting quarterback in the NFL. Plenty more schadenfreude, plus previewing the first Bears-Lions game of the season.
