Debating the pros and cons of the Detroit Lions? decision to retain Matt Patricia. 42 minutes.
The PODcast crew breaks down the controversial decision.

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions ended all the speculation and made the polarizing decision to retain both general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia for another year. Fan reaction has certainly been mixed, and it?s easy to see why. People are right to be frustrated. This team?s 9-20-1 record since 2018, when Patricia walked through those doors, is the fifth-worst record in the NFL.

But fans are also right to be hesitant blowing it all up. A lack of stability has sunken other franchises?including the Lions?for decades, and one of the worst mistakes a team can make is giving up on a regime too early. If, somehow, Patricia were to eventually land another head coaching job in the future and succeed, it would be yet another irremovable stain on this franchise.

This news has obviously drawn a lot of emotion out of Lions fans, so we just had to congregate the PODcast for an EMERGENCY SESSION. Chris and I spend 40 minutes debating the merit of this decision and what may come next because of it. We also answer fan questions and speak on the other news of the day: Matthew Stafford finally landing on injured reserve.

Take a listen:
This week on the EMERGENCY PODCAST.
We give our initial thoughts on Martha Ford?s decision to keep things intact.

Yeah, that phony Jeff Bezos rumor turned out to be exactly what we all thought: phony.

Did Martha Ford give ?Quinntricia? an ultimatum? If so, could that potentially lead to hasty roster decisions to get immediate results?

The timing of Stafford being put on IR?literally an hour after Patricia?s job was secure?is funny, but probably doesn?t mean anything.

Answering fan questions: What do the Lions have to do in 2020 to make this decision a good one?

Detroit Lions Podcast Episode 247 ? Quinn and Patricia Locked. Martha Says No Sale.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff ?The Riz? Risdon are together again to discuss the latest breaking Detroit Lions news. It was a busy news day for the team, so we go in hot.

Detroit Lions Podcast Weighs In First.
News broke today about a small presser held by Martha Ford in which she announce the continuation of the Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia regime for the 2020 season. She spoke to the need for some new assistants and the need to be a playoff contender. We dive into what this means for the team and evaluate the decision. We also discuss how this situation might affect the actions of Quinn and Patricia going forward. What it bodes for the team and what to look forward for the rest of the season.

In other breaking news, Mrs. Ford and her daughter Sheila made it clear that the team is not for sale. Not to Jeff Bezos, not to anyone. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses how important it was for Sheila Ford Hamp to step forward and make a statement. There was a message sent in that action, and we discuss what the message behind the message was.

We cover the Lions injury report, take our first peek at the draft, and even take some of your phone calls. One of our favorite topics makes its first appearance for 2020, HBO?s ?Hard Knocks?. We discuss the possibility of them coming to Detroit next year and why it might be more likely than folks think. The Pro Bowl announcements were made, and we discuss the Lions situation. Frank Ragnow snubbed, Darius Slay in, and Matthew Stafford and Kenny Golladay as alternates. Finally, we look ahead to the game against the Denver Broncos.
