Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast for the lead-up into Week 16. This week’s show is a solo effort from Jeff Risdon, with co-host Chris being under the weather. We hope to be back together for the regular live show and stream following the Lions’ Week 16 game against the Panthers.
With it being a solo show, the focus is narrowed a bit. One of the primary topics comes from the Patreon Slack channel, the smartest Lions chat on the internet. The question was asked, “Has the Lions’ margin for error improved lately?”
There is a review of the Lions in the Pro Bowl and why the honor matters, as well as why it’s not always the most deserving players who get those nods. With safety DeShon Elliott ruled out vs. the Panthers, who steps up and gets the starting nod? There is more love given to the emerging Detroit defense, including one big reason why the Lions should be able to stop the Panthers pretty effectively.
