At least I finished the year with my bold prediction coming true :)

That was, EASILY, the WORST three plays this team has run this year. JUST RUN THE BALL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Fuckin run the ball, what are you doing?

Good stop by the Lions defense there. The run defense has been struggling, but doing just enough right now.

In the final POD staff prediction for the 2025 season, it's not as one sided as I expected.

Does the majority expect the #Lions to pull off the upset?

In my final #Lions bold prediction of the year, I can see the running game return to form.

The Bears defense is struggling and I think Sonic and Knuckles can do one more big game this year.

Before you head out to enjoy New Years Eve, take a peek at what's to come on Sunday for the #Lions. These aren't the same Chicago Bears they faced in Week 2, and Detroit might get a taste of revenge after how they won back in September.

I had plenty to discuss after the #Lions frustrating 23-10 defeat on Christmas afternoon to the Vikings.

My 6 takeaways from the loss.

In today's Christmas showdown, what does the POD crew think will happen for the #Lions?

Will they bring cheer and joy, or will it be a sad ending to the 2025 postseason dreams?

With a banged up OL and a backup QB starting for Minnesota, I believe the #Lions pass rush will have a field day tomorrow afternoon.

Check out my bold prediction for Week 17.

Last year the #Lions and Vikings were similar in the right ways, winning games and fighting for a divisional crown.

This year both have gone in the opposite direction and are having the same struggles.

It feels like the end of the season for Detroit. While their playoff hopes aren't gone yet, they need too much to get them in.

holy shit this is a disaster.

Defense continues to get no help, which is saying something. Lions offense goes three and out.
December 21, 2025 at 11:46 PM
I really hate showing Graham showing the other inactive lineman what should've been done differently....maybe lets show the actual guys playing, eh?

I swear to god if they say this isn't a fumble.
December 21, 2025 at 11:13 PM
So the fan gets ejected and not DK? ok lol
It appears Ford Field security is removing the fan who got punched by DK Metcalf. At the very least, he's heading up the stadium stairs.

HAVE to cover the flat, the Steelers have been living by it and it's an easy first down.
