The Lions finished the 2020 season with a 5-11 record after a 37-35 loss to the Vikings. Detroit allowed 508 yards to become the worst defense in franchise history in both yards and points, topping the 2008 team which finished 0-16! The Lions now enter the offseason with perhaps the most questions in the NFL. They need a new GM, coach, and what will they do with quarterback Matthew Stafford who may have played his last game in the Honolulu Blue and Silver? The Benchwarmers discuss all the changes that are ahead, and give their suggestions for who can fill those rolls. Plus, they let you know which teams will be "friend requesting" players and coaches in the coming months. #NFL #Detroit #Lions
Another week, another loss for the Lions. They fall to 0-4 on the season after a 24-14 loss in Chicago. This week, Detroit became the first team since 2000 to come up with zero points after their first 4 trips to the red zone. The problem: Dan Campbell decided to keep going for it on 4th down instead of taking the 3 points. Eric and Ryan go off on the 1st year head coach's decision making, and allowing Justin Fields and the Bears offense to get off after posting just 47 yards the week before #NFL #Detroit #Football
The Detroit Lions found yet another brand new way to lose a game. This time is came off the foot a Justin Tucker who kicked an NFL Record 66 field goal to beat the Lions 19-17. As Always with the Lions, the finish was controversial. This time the play clock hit zero on the previous play but the officials didn't see it. Eric and Ryan break it all down, and what led to the Lions falling to 0-3 on the season #NFL #Lions #Baltimore

The Lions were officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss in Nashville, but it was a great effort by the overmatched Lions, especially by quarterback Matthew Stafford! Stafford was a game time decision after tearing cartilage in his ribs last week against the Packers, and he came through with one of his better games of the year. The Benchwarmers praise Stafford's effort, and discuss Phil Sims comments about the QB from earlier in the week. Plus, and update on who the Lions will interview for their General Manager opening this week. #NFL #Football #Lions
The Lions hung tough, but ultimately fell short against the Packers. That wasn't the biggest story of the game though. Matthew Stafford was folded in half late in the 4th quarter and had to leave the game with a rib injury. The Benchwarmers discuss the game, and what Stafford's injury could mean for Detroit and the new General Manager going forward as far as trade value goes. The guys also decide where Aaron Rodgers ranks on their list of "Top 5 Detroit Killers over the past 40 years". #NFL #Detroit #Football

The guys also try to guess what Matt Patricia was doing with his free time on his first Sunday since getting fired, and share their takes on the FOX pregame show's suggestions for the Lions future. #Detroit #NFL #Chicago
