Pride Of Detroit Lions PODcast recaps Lions-Cowboys, begs Detroit to pay Golden Tate. 68 minutes.
PODcast tries to focus on the good, when there?s a lot of bad around.

This week on the PODcast:
We all knew Elliott was the man to stop... so why didn?t the Lions even slow him down?

Jarrad Davis may have blown the final play of the game, but he overall played... well? Progress.

Does this week?s loss to the Cowboys discount the Lions? win over the Patriots?

PAY. THE. MAN. The PODcast crew relives Golden Tate?s fantastic performance in Dallas and pleads with the Detroit Lions to give him the contract he deserves this upcoming offseason (or earlier).

We try to pick out the positives from Sunday?s game, including another promising performance from Da?Shawn Hand, Matthew Stafford?s top five performance.

Jeremy rants more about everyone freaking out over Kerryon Johnson?s nine carries.

Across the NFL, the Vikings defense is bad? Mitchell Trubisky is good? Why is this year so weird already?

Mailbag talks fall food, apple cider, waffles vs. pancakes and any regrets in not making a move for Khalil Mack?

Stafford graded a 90.2 by PFF. Wait, I was assured by this board he was the reason we lost. Maybe PFF should call some of the guys from the Detroit Sports Forum for advice on their grading procedures. Clearly they know nothing.

With the #Lions cutting CB Dee Virgin yesterday, they haven't signed a player to fill his roster spot. I'm wondering if they put in a claim on DT Jordan Phillips. Former 2nd round pick with talent, but hasn't played well. Seems like a Quinn move to give an underachiever a shot.
