Ep: 383 – What’s in the Cards for the Lions? – Detroit Lions Podcast Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

Coming out of the Lions loss to the Broncos, which was to be expected given the nature of their health and injury status, the Lions look to lick their wounds and face their toughest opponent yet – the Arizona Cardinals. I’m not sure anyone is predicting victory for the Lions here…

Detroit Lions Podcast Keeps It Real

One interesting point, the Lions played well against the Los Angeles Rams earlier this season, and the Rams just beat the Cardinals. So by the transitive property, the Lions would have a chance. Looking at how this year has gone, we’d say the Lions would play well and lose. Looking at the injury list, the Lions likely don’t have a chance. That being the case, any time is a good time to grab a big pretzel if you’re at Ford Field for the game.

We’ll talk about the Denver game some positives and negatives, expectations for the final weeks, Covid and how it’s reared its ugly head around the league, as well as some interesting thinking around drafting quarterbacks. Most people aren’t talking about this, but it is likely one of the biggest factors for rookie QB success beyond just the numbers. We’ve got a lot to talk about in this afternoon version of the Detroit Lions Podcast!

Ep: 382 – Denver Broncos Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Coming off of their first win of the 2021 NFL season the Detroit Lions face the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. After last week’s victory, Lions fans felt pretty good about the Lions chances against the Broncos, until the week took shape and illness started to break out in Allen Park.

Detroit Lions Podcast Feels Fine

It started on Tuesday when Dan Campbell told Detroit Lions fans that Jared Goff had missed practice due to a flu-like illness that “wasn’t Covid-19”. As the week wore on much of the defense and members of the offense fell ill with the flu-like illness, so much so that the team upped their protocols as if it was a Covid-19 outbreak. Then, we find that at least 6 players are on the reserve/COVID-19 list. A number of players have been called up from the practice squad in an attempt to bolster the newfound roster holes. This is terrible news for a team that has already been devastat4ed by injury in the 2021 NFL season. How will the team fare? We’ll cover that, what the future holds for the team, take your calls, and more on today’s show.

Ep: 381 – Denver Broncos Preview – Detroit Lions Podcast Dec 11, 2021

Show notes

It finally happened, our beloved Detroit Lions put together their first win of the 2021 NFL Season against the Minnesota Vikings. Now they’re heading out to Denver in hopes of repeating the feat against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.

Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview

Denver is a streaky team that has a good deal of talent at every position other than quarterback. They’ve put together some strong games and followed those up with a few head scratchers. The Detroit Lions chances hinge on which Denver Broncos team shows up on Sunday. In addition to playing the unpredictable Broncos, the Lions have dealt with a bout of the flu running through the building this week. a number of players have missed practice, Dan Campbell has separated the offense and defense in practice and added some of the old Covid protocols back in place in an attempt to stave off further spread. As of today a number of players are back, but caution levels are high in prepping for the game in Denver, and practices have been limited from what they normally would have been as a result.

We are joined (of course) by WWJ-Radio airtime superstar, Tony Ortiz, to break down what to expect in this match-up, and we’ll pick up some fun insider stories from TO along the way. We’ll cover some history between the teams, cover the Injury report for both teams, discuss match-ups, the Las Vegas odds and betting lines, and we’ll provide a final game prediction. This show is everything you need to get ready for game day with the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos.

Ep: 380 – Cause The Lions Won A Game – Detroit Lions Podcast Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

It finally happened, our beloved Detroit Lions put together a great effort and pulled out a last minute drive down the field capped with a game-winning touchdown from Jared Goff to Amon Ra St. Brown. This week Chris and Jeff Risdon are joined by Sandman to discuss the Detroit Lions first win of the 2021 NFL season. Chris and Sandman were both at the game and will definitely share their experience at Ford Field including a video of the event as it unfolded.

Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Progress

Coming up next for the Lions are the Denver Broncos – and AFC West team that has been hot and cold, and quite unpredictable this year. Playing in Denver doesn’t help, but the Lions aren’t a team anyone can rule out at this point. They have the potential to take another one, and we’ll discuss how that looks in this week’s show.

We’ll talk about all that, what’s to come, the remaining schedule, and what’s on tap for the podcast in the coming weeks. Lots to talk about in this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast.

Ep: 379 – What Does It Take To Win? – Detroit Lions Podcast Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

So here we are, 12 weeks into the 2021 NFL season, and the Detroit Lions have yet to notch a win. They’ve been close against teams that they shouldn’t even have been in games with. They’ve let games slip away against teams they should have beaten. In the last three games, no team has scored more than 16 points on them, and they’ve been outscored by only 5 points total. It feels like the Lions are close, but it remains possible that they just run out of time.

Detroit Lions Podcast Talks Wins

The Lions are facing NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. In their last meeting as US Bank Stadium, the Lions were defeated with a last second field goal (a familiar story in the 2021 NFL season). Is Minnesota a team that the Lions can beat at home? Are there any teams remaining on the schedule that the Lions can find a win against? Where are the players right now?

Ep: 378 – Lions Ready To Gobble Bears – Detroit Lions Podcast Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

The Detroit Lions continue to look for that elusive first win of the 2021 NFL season. The first for Dan Campbell as the Lions coach, the first in the NFL for a number of young players, and the first indication that this team is turning things around. The Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bears might be just the ticket the Lions need.

Detroit Lions Podcast Fires Matt Nagy

In a unique move, it appears as though the team has informed Matt Nagy that he will no longer be coaching the Chicago Bears after the Thanksgiving game at Ford Field. While Lions fans were hoping that they could help the Bears hang on to Nagy for another year as their head coach, it’s gotten to the point that potentially winning against the Lions isn’t enough to help a head coach keep his job in the NFL.

There is a lot of motivation for both teams to win this game – for the Lions, finally getting that first win and doing so on the national stage would make this a statement game about a turnaround that is officially underway for the franchise. For the Bears, an opportunity to send off the coach who believed with them and put them on this team together. One thing for sure, Thursday’s game is destined to be one to remember. One that could be marked as the point where fortunes turned for a troubled NFL franchise.

Ep: 377 – Cleveland Browns Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! As we head to the first game after the Detroit Lions didn’t lose in the 2021 NFL season, the Lions are pretty big underdogs against the Cleveland Browns at First Energy Stadium. The weather looks like conditions will be similar to what we saw in last week’s tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers – so expect the unexpected.

Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts

After what can only be termed a frustrating tie in Pittsburgh, in which Dan Campbell took over play calling duties and directly attacked the strengths of the Steelers (with great success), the list of Lions walking wounded gets longer. Jared Goff will miss, leaving Tim Boyle to start for the Lions. Additionally, Trey Flowers will be out again, as will Jermar Jefferson and Matt Nelson. The Browns are down two cornerbacks and have a lengthy injury report as well. With the weather and injuries, we’re expecting a whole lot of running this week. Of course, Dan Campbell is a man of mystery, so be on the lookout for some surprise passes to catch the Browns off guard. Are our predictions correct? We’ll be sure to discuss them in this week’s post game show. We’ll also discuss how the team fared, big plays, turning points, and what’s next for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Season.

Ep: 376 – Cleveland Browns Preview – Detroit Lions Podcast Nov 20, 2021

Show notes

Today we host our Game Preview for the battle between the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns in week 11 of the 2021 NFL season.

Detroit Lions Podcast Game Preview

The 5-4 Browns are coming off of a 45-7 shellacking in New England by the Patriots. The injury-decimated Lions made a strong showing last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers falling just short of a win (again) with a 16-16 tie in a weather-hampered game. Jared Goff injured his oblique, leaving Tim Boyle in line to start for the Lions this week. We’ll be sure to have the latest update when we cover the Lions injury report.

Ep: 375 – Polar Bear Wrestling – Detroit Lions Podcast Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

The Detroit Lions yet again managed to do what no one expected. Chris was laughed at for saying the Lions could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was right, they could have. Instead, they avoided losing out the season by landing a tie against the Steelers at Heinz Field. Its a perfect fit for the ongoing story of the Detroit Lions 2021 NFL season.

Detroit Lions Podcast Takes Stock

While the Lions didn’t win the game, they didn’t lose either, and with quarterback Jared Goff suffering an oblique injury, the Lions are likely to test out their backup quarterbacks and add a whole new level of angst to fans for the season. Its a no win scenario really, Boyle or Blough sizzle? The crucifixion of Jared Goff will be locked in. They stink, and the questions about the direction of the team will be legion. There are seven games left in the season after the game against the Cleveland Browns this week (which we will cover in depth), but we sense that the conversation around Jared Goff is only going to heat up with each passing week.

Ep: 374 – Pittsburgh Steelers Post Game – Detroit Lions Podcast Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Post Game Show! As we head to the halfway point of the Lions season, we react and help break things down after the Detroit Lions take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts

After an excruciating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles the Detroit Lions went into the bye week without a win, and with many more questions than answers. Cue coach Dan Campbell stepping in to take greater control of the offense, relegating Anthony Lynn to a more junior role. Coach Campbell took a good deal of time grinding film while his staff took a few (much needed) days off over the bye, before heading back in to the office and putting in a week of extremely long days. The Lions are poised for something different this week, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Coach Dan Campbell calling offensive plays. Couple that with Ben Roethlisberger and Chase Claypool being out, and the Detroit Lions just might have an opportunity to sneak in their first win of the season. We’ll discuss how true these predictions, how the team fared, big plays, turning points, and what’s next for the Lions in the 2021 NFL Season.
