Description

The Detroit Lions’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings wasn’t just a bad game — it was a lesson in execution and perspective.

Joe Chapp and James break down what really went wrong: brutal third downs, special teams meltdowns, and the John Morton discourse that has fans divided.


They also dive deep into:




  • Why Brad Holmes didn’t “go all in” at the trade deadline




  • Justin Rogers’ viral take comparing the Eagles’ Jalen Phillips trade to a “Hollywood Brown” panic move




  • Why the Lions’ future remains brighter than fans think




  • Offensive line growing pains post-Frank Ragnow




  • The rise of Isaac TeSlaa and what’s next for Jared Goff




This episode blends film breakdowns, analytics (EPA per play, pressures allowed, third down efficiency), and real talk about Detroit’s long-term strategy.
