Week 9 Lions Lose to Raiders 24-31

Hey there Lions fans! The fourth loss of the season is upon us. Randy, Tom, and Rich touch on a couple happenings of the week. A new face from Dallas appears and a fairly clean game injury wise leads to Austin Bryant having been taken off the injured reserve list giving the Lions 21 days to activate him. The final play of the game gives us a chance to talk about the Jumbo Package and the Full Back. Christian Jones received a two-year extension shoring up the third/fourth LB spot. The question is what other changes could be made at that position? CB Darius Slay had some choice remarks on the defense after the game on Sunday. Is he right? Are his thoughts telling of his future with the team? It’s only week 9, and all is not lost, but the toughest division in football going 0-4 was a glaring missed opportunity for the Lions to gain ground on the Vikings and Packers. The second half of the podcast moves to the offense. A team shouldn’t have to score 30+ points to win a game but it feels the Lions could and should be scoring more often. Matthew Stafford had another game with two 100 yard receivers but, he fell down in the pocket for a sack, was responsible for an interception, and credited with a fumble on a botched handoff to McKissic. If the defense can get healthy and get their act together Matthew and the Offense won’t be tasked with having to play perfect football in order to win. 3-4-1 marks the halfway point of the season. 7-1? Can it be done?
