Description

Shep and Sean break down Detroit’s setback in Philadelphia, including offensive stagnation, missed adjustments, shaky trench play, and the ripple effects of losing Frank Ragnow. They debate whether the Lions qualify as good—or great—right now, and why their inconsistencies are becoming harder to ignore.

The guys also dive into fourth-down decisions, dropped passes, the Jamison Williams penalty discourse, and why situational football isn’t as cut-and-dry as some fans insist. Plus: thoughts on the NFC landscape, the Pistons’ surprising surge, Lane Kiffin’s eternal job flirtations, and an unwritten-rules moment igniting tempers on the ice.

If you’re trying to figure out where Detroit truly stands, this episode pulls no punches.
