“If you wanted to put Lions Vikings at four to twenty five Eastern time at the beginning of the season on a Sunday, go right ahead.”
“The Minnesota Itings ruled out running back Jordan Mason and tied in TJ Hockinson for their Christmas Day game against the Lions. The Lions listed receiver Amana Ross Saint Brown as questionable because of a knee injury, and running back David Montgomery is questionable due to illness.”
“That's where I think that the NFL, and if it was Lions Bears, maybe it's too meaningful of a game, but I don't want a game that means everything. Maybe have Eagles Bills beyond Christmas Day, because that's the Sunday afternoon game.”

“Finally, ESPN reports that that Detroit Lions fan who is physically confronted by Steelers receiver DK Metcalf last Sunday, will be holding a press conference with his attorneys on Friday too and I quote address the assault, correct miss this information that has been publicly repeated as fact, and discuss the serious consequences he has faced unquote mark your calendars for Froday.”
“The Lions only path to the playoffs is to win both of their next two games and have the Packers lose both of their next two games. That's slim and obviously we're not really talking about the Vikings here at this point.”
“There are the Detroit Lions. That will be the second game there on Netflix. And then we'll close out with the Prime Video. So the typical Thursday Night or will be the Broncos and the Chiefs, and strange to talk about the Broncos as the playoff team of notes in that matchup with the Chiefs now eliminated but Broncos in despite the loss to year Jaguars this past week, Bucky in a pretty good spot.”
“If that game flips, we have the same record as the Lions. Yeah, the place, how much the Lions seems so much better than the Vikings. Yeah, and there's a one game different, So I've just picked a random game.”
“Lions Max brozenberg gets the start hairline. Fracture remember we HEARD x rays negative when he got THE x rays In New. York they must have taken another look at. It they found a hairline, fracture SO i assume no surgery for stuff like.”
“How about he goes from one Thanksgiving team, the Cowboys, to another Thanksgiving team here in this game, going up against the Detroit Lions with the Green Bay Packers, so it doesn't get the holiday off here for Micah Parsons. But really looking forward to that ball game, and I think that's the key to the game.”
“You think about what the Eagles did to the Packers and the Lions back to back weeks. I mean, they just dominated both lines, whether it was home or away, and they didn't do that against this Dallas front.”
“Obviously, the head coach of the Detroit Lions from two thousand and nine to twenty thirteen. He's a very very smart guy. Getting a chance to be around him Georgetown, very very bright and someone who has been able to combine kind of having that intelligence with a little swagger as well.”
“I found it interesting that Dan Campbell talked about always wanting to model the Lions after the Ravens because they were a hall market consistency and success, but also their physicality, toughness and the way they ran roughshot over opponents.”
“After the Lions fell down by a touchdown right after halftime, it was one way traffic. And yeah, a lot of the passing stats looked similar, but you mentioned those rushing stats, how uneven they were. After Derek Henry's early rushing touchdown.”
“Let's change gears a little bit and talk a little bit about the Lions defense in this game. You know, you'll see that the Ravens put up thirty points, but ultimately the Lions defense gets seven sacks in this game.”
“The Detroit Lions go to Baltimore to take on of the Ravens. Both teams a lot of points. Last week, the Lions dropped the fifty burger on the Bears. The Ravens have scored forty points in back to back weeks to start the season.”
“The Detroit Lions making their visit to the Baltimore Ravens, who are favored about four and a half points. The over under is fifty one and a half. In the last few seasons the Lions have had this opportunity to play against the Baltimore Ravens.”
“Ian Rappaport says, it's turf toe, which is something for us to watch because they have the Broncos, the Vikings, the Packers, and the Lions in their next four games. So wow, good for them for starting two and zero.”
“They're tempting me because honestly, if you go back and watch last year, this Bears team shockingly played pretty tough against this Lions team that had all the pieces, so pretty interesting matchup.”
“It is Bears at the Lions. We're giving up five and a half points. The over under is forty seven and a half. Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma, Megan o'livey on the call.”
“It was just one game and it was against the Vikings. This is going to be a much easier matchup against the Lions, whose pass rush was if not the worst in the NFL in Week one, it was right up there.”
“The Lions used a whole lot of man in Week one against the Packers, and Caleb struggled against man coverage last year, so we'll see if there's growth there. Let's go to a team that also had a heartbreaking loss in Week one.”
“I would I would lean into the Lions because I think clearly their coaching staff is better than the Bears. But I don't love this game right now.”
“Nine quarterback hits For the Packers defense, it's been a blah, you know, pass rush the last few years. Four sacks, whereas the Lions nick two quarterback hits, no sacks, and the Packers' offense didn't really run the ball very well.”
“Remember the Lions, you know, beat him twice last year, so it historically Lions never won in Green Bay, so I would say Green Bay had a lot to play for it. But yeah, I mean it was it was ugly.”
“I do think I'm not going to ride out the Lions just yet because this was a road divisional game and this was I mean, they got their ass kicked. If this would have been in Detroit, I would be completely out.”

How these quotes are chosen
Each excerpt is copied word for word from a transcript the podcast publisher supplies with the episode. Nothing is paraphrased, shortened mid-sentence, or stitched together from two speakers. The timestamp is where the passage begins — 31:20on the first quote above — and the link opens the episode at that point.
Transcripts label voices as “Speaker 1”, not by name, so every quote is attributed to the SHOW unless the speaker identified themselves on the recording. We never guess who spoke. If a quote here is wrong, use “Report this quote” and we unpublish it immediately while we check.
Podcasters who have claimed their show can opt out of quoting entirely.
