Passing.
Next Gen Stats tracks numerous data points to enhance our understanding of a Quarterback?s style and tendencies. In 2016 we began exposing data points such as Time to Throw to indicate how quickly a passer releases a pass and various measurements of Air Yards and Air Distance to indicate how far a passer throws the ball downfield on completions. In 2017 we have added all passing attempts for air yards/distance, Air Yards to the Sticks, and Aggressiveness, along with traditional stats for users to make correlations.

Who was at fault for the Lions? tie vs. the Cardinals?
It?s always easy to point blame in a loss, but with so many positives in the Lions? tie Sunday it?s hard to point the finger.

Detroit Lions Podcast 223 ? Lions Disappointing Gift. 96 minutes
In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case take you through the Lions tie that felt like a loss. Did it feel like a loss because we were conditioned toward that outcome? Was this improvement? What does this mean for the team?

Detroit Lions Podcast In Arizona.
We spend a good deal of time and take you deep on the game experience in Arizona. Case was in the stadium and brings us the tales of glory that only a visiting Lions fan can bring. We break the game down into two sections ? the first three and a half quarters and the last half quarter. They were two different games and we explain what happened, why it happened, and why we don?t expect to see something like this next week.

From there the Detroit Lions Podcast discusses the situation with Antonio Brown. There is an aspect to this story that rings a little bell of similarity to something we?ve seen in Detroit? We share our thoughts on the matter and await the next shocking turn as much as anyone else.

We take a moment to discuss a man who most Lions fans are familiar with, Fred McLeod. He passed away the other day and deserves a moment of our time to remember him and his contributions to Detroit.

Next the Detroit Lions Podcast breaks out the hype with Chris?s latest audio creation. We?re looking for your feedback on this ? help us know where your hype level is after hearing this.

Lions Look Forward.
We take a few moments to delve into the predictions for the upcoming Chargers game. It may be a heck of a lot more winnable than we thought even 3 weeks ago.

We also take you around the division to look at our competition and to ascertain where we might stand after the first week of football.

Finally, the Detroit Lions Podcast welcomes our friend Dean Blandino to the show to discuss his new podcast, review the craziest calls in the NFL this week, and grade the officials on their work in the Lions game.

Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming Detroit Lions Podcast! You can also give us a call at (929) 33-Lions.
