Dear Lions:

Please end your debacle of a season, by losing @ Lambeau in order to win a high(er) draft pick.

TIA

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog Podcast: What went wrong with the Green Bay Packers? A schadenfreude investigation. 33 minutes
When the Packers lose, we all win.

I don?t think we?re telling any tales out of school when we say that Week 17?s regular season finale between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions doesn?t have much intrigue on its surface.

So this week, First Byte is taking a slightly different approach to our preview podcast. We snagged Evan ?Tex? Western from Acme Packing Company to help diagnose what went wrong for the Green Bay Packers this season, but who doesn?t love hearing stories about how the Packers failed?

Additionally, the Packers are already in the midst of a head coaching search, and one early candidate should certainly interest Lions fans. We get Tex?s thoughts on Jim Caldwell as a realistic candidate for the Packers job.

This week on First Byte:
Aaron Rodgers: Tough year or overblown media scrutiny?

Was firing Mike McCarthy the right decision? In the middle of season?

Who are the top candidates for the Packers job? Dream candidates?

The gang discusses the merits of Jim Caldwell as a head coach candidate.

We turn our attention to the What Is Life? Bowl.

Who are some players to look forward to seeing play?

Is Davante Adams going to play?

Why are we doing this to ourselves?

A loss ensures no worse than pick #5 I think and crazy scenarios could land em at #2 yet

A win probebly f’s it all up and prevents them from getting a top much need pass rusher
Just lose baby!

Must be a few of the DSF faithful voting :tup:
 
61 years ago today December 29, 1957:
Detroit Lions defeat the Cleveland Browns 59-14 at Briggs Stadium to win the National Football League championship. The Lions have only one black player on its roster: John Henry Johnson, a full back.

John Henry Johnson was a Brute as a Fullback. Right there with the great Jim Brown.

Program from the 1957 "World's Championship Game" at Briggs (Tiger) Stadium #OTD in 1957, when the Lions won their last NFL championship.

I would trade all of our coaches, gm, and all players except golladay and ragnow.. for clemson's qb, Lawrence.
 
Lions CBs Nevin Lawson and Jamal Agnew are now both OUT Sunday against Green Bay. Both were listed as questionable for Sunday.
