Detroit Lions Podcast Episode 239 ? Detroit Lions & Oakland Raiders Post Game Show. 67 minutes.

In this live episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris is joined by YouTube Slowlights hero, Andy ?Sandman? Morse for a tough show about the Detroit Lions loss to the Oakland Raiders. We also take your calls ? and a number of them about what has become of this Lions team. In a game that lived up to its ?shootout? billing, the Lions defense couldn?t get the stops they needed to outscore the Raiders.

Detroit Lions Podcast Laments Opportunities Lost.
On a day when the rest of the NFC lost, the Lions proved again that they can?t seize the opportunity. Much like the game against the Green Bay Packers, the Lions couldn?t seal a win that was within their grasp. A win that would have changed the calculus on the season. This is a problem that has plagued this franchise for years, and Chris finds it absolutely inexplicable.

The phone calls this week represent a disappointed fan base, and rightfully so. Chris reminds listeners that while the wins aren?t there, this team has been in every game until the very end this year ? except one. It is an improvement over last year, just not as much as we wanted from this team. Things are getting to a point where folks need those W?s to believe ? and Coach Patricia and Bob Quinn need to start delivering.

Head coach Matt Patricia has designed this defense, while coordinator Paul Pasqualoni calls the plays on Sundays. They?ve spent the last two offseasons acquiring players to run the system, including splashy free-agent signings like Trey Flowers and Devon Kenanrd; big trades like the one for Snacks Harrison; and high-round draft picks like Jahlani Tavai, Tracy Walker and Will Harris.

Just a thought but Maybe, the first couple of years Quinn was here, he drafted players designed for Caldwell, and they are behind in getting players to fit what Patricia wants.

Pride Of Detroit Lions PODcast (and the Lions) struggle to climb out of the black hole. 73 minutes.
You do need eyes to see this Lions team, but does it really help?

You know, Sam Neill once fell into a black hole.

I think it was a movie; reality is often strained in the current century so I can?t be for certain. But he grinned loudly with shining teeth and told us that we don?t need eyes to see. As with all things, he was probably talking about the Detroit Lions.

After a brutal but close loss to the Oakland Raiders, mood is on the down-low in Detroit. Back in the losing column, the Lions don?t have many answers on how they can possibly make the NFL playoffs with this second half of football ahead of them.

We also break down a key hypothetical question which illuminates faith in the coaching staff to make late game decisions properly, and more depressing things. It?s a full-bodied, clear-eyed podcast that maybe sets some minds at ease and paints a picture forward. Or maybe we?re just all shouting into a singularity.

This week on the PODcast:
Hurk.

The Lions delayed the inevitable for long enough. Jeremy explains how this result doesn?t bum him out.

We discuss failings of the offense... and to be fair to the Lions offense, it?s only because the defense is so woeful that it?s hard to find even an entry angle into that universe of suck.

More rants, more flailing and the release of humors and bile.

It was Marvin Jones Day and it wasn?t very happy in spite of it all.

A hypothetical question that should illuminate the disconnect between what is good football strategy, what fans hope out of this Lions team and the current coaching philosophies of the Detroit Lions and how those all have fallen into a jagged relationship.

What do the Lions do now anyway?

A bleak look at how certain units could be stripped away and need to be rebuilt before the beginning of next season. It?s hungry times again in Detroit.
