00:00Whether or not we get the first seed or second seed and we meet Philly in the playoffs
00:04I'm not worried about it at all
00:06Everybody on this team has stepped up and the lonely will be back just in time
00:10To shut them down from running and they will not be able to do anything else on us
00:14So no, the nervousness is not there whether it's a first seed or second seed
00:19We're gonna get one of them and we'll take Philly out. The nervousness is a relic from the past
00:25It's on it's it's something you used to feel with Lions football. It's something you no longer feel
00:30No, what a free feeling. Yeah, I mean it's to have a team
00:36That everybody envies. Yeah across the NFL, you know
00:40they're envious of the offensive line envious of the backfield envious of
00:45the receiving core like Amon Ross St. Brown J Mo and
00:49What they can do offensively at every single level and then to the defense
00:54How envious are they of the depth that Brad Holmes has put together and not just in regards to you know
01:02Hey preseason
01:04but
01:05Trade deadline you go get Zedderia Smith linebacker goes down. You'll get David Long jr
01:09Like I mean they have they have made some great additions kind of under the radar
01:14some of them that Zedderia is not obviously nowhere under the radar, but
01:19Some some the ability to respond with the roster
01:23So he made the point the Lions run defense very good, which you're gonna need to stop the run against Philadelphia
01:28Lions run defense was good last year. It's been very good this year Lions are given up 95 yards rushing per game
01:34Philly's given up 99 like they're in the same category of run defense
01:39That's for fourth and ones that the Lions convert that the Eagles don't you're right John and I'd still pick the Lions
01:44My point is like because they got the fourth and ones you're right. You're right
01:48My point is Philly does a really nice job, too
01:50And this is to me the second best team in football
01:53I think the two best teams are both NFC teams ticket texture says Saquon Barkley would be super scary in an NFC
01:59Championship game not afraid to admit it another ticket texture says if you're not worried about the Eagles you haven't watched football this year
02:05Right there on a mission
02:07Texture says they're a huge concern
02:08They have a better D line than us and can generate pressure up the middle which will be a problem for golf
02:13They have a mobile QB that kills the Lions studs at receivers and running backs
02:18So you're not sure if they're better up the middle John, right? I saw the face you made
02:23Yeah, I mean the way a Lee McNeil has been dominating
02:26Inside and no it doesn't matter who he goes against. I know he was abusing a rookie this past weekend, but yeah more power to you
02:33Jalen Carter has been pretty good too, though
02:36Yeah, I really believe a location of that game would determine the winner
02:40I do I think the Lions would take care of him here. I would really worry about the Lions winning in Philly
02:45They're in a pretty good driver's seat with that right now. I think they've got I
02:50Don't think Philly's running the table. Okay, and
02:53I would say the Lions most likely loss is probably the bills. Although that's not a given necessarily
02:58I'm not concerned about anything because I trust this team, but it just thinks a little bit that there's no
03:05margin for error here
03:07Really at all when you have gone 10 and 1 and been the best team in the league up to here
03:12It's just a little frustrating. You know what I'm saying?
03:15I mean we had before the season John when we said 14 and 3
03:25It just stinks that they don't have a little bit more room, I mean the Vikings right now
03:30I think the rest of their season would be favored every game. I'm not sure about at Seattle
03:35I think it'd be close to a pick'em. The Vikings schedule is kind of easy, but you know, they do play the Falcons
03:41What kind of Falcon team is gonna show up against them?
03:43I just I would hate for it to have to come down to that game
03:46Considering what this team has done this season you'd hate to even though you think they'd win week 18 that you'd let it come down
03:51To one game given how great they've been I get that well, but but here's the thing too
03:56Okay, they don't have being 10 and 1 you'd think maybe you built up a little bit more of a margin for error
04:01They have more margin for error than anybody else right sure and so, you know if Philly slips up at all
04:08You know
04:08It makes it very hard for them to get the one seat if the Vikings slip up at all
04:13Very hard to get the one seat the Lions have if they take a loss
04:18Have a path to continue to be the number one seat
04:21It's a great point for as much as we're doing this dance of like oh, there's some footsteps behind us
04:25These other teams are going
04:27We got to keep up yeah, these guys are sprinting these lions never lose
04:31So let me ask you this question, and it's probably one that we we'd want to carry this discussion over a little bit
04:39When we talk about the defensive, but we're comparing all of these
04:44We're comparing all of these
04:46Different positions offensive line versus offensive line D line interior D line edge rushers and no Brandon Graham
04:53How does that go to it going to affect them and what we won't know until we actually see it
04:57The secondary like injuries in the secondary. How are injuries going to impact all of this moving forward?
05:04Running-backs like we compared everything, but the one thing that we haven't asked is who do you trust more? Yeah, Jalen Hurts or
05:12Jared Goff
05:13Who do you trust more in the moments when it matters most?
05:18Ben Johnson, or I don't even know who their offensive coordinator is right to answer the golf Hurts question
05:24I think golf is more consistent. I've seen Hurts be wildly erratic both ways Super Bowl against Mahomes
05:29He was shot for shot throw for throw with Patrick. We're talking a couple years ago
05:33I know and I've also seen him run into these stretches where the turnovers are are contagious. Yeah, and golf is steadier, so yeah
05:42This feels like two teams on a collision course for the NFC title game
05:45Let's make that game at Ford Field and I'd ask our fans. Yeah, who do you trust more a
05:50Guy that's been to the Super Bowl which happens to be both it both. Yeah
05:54But when you're looking at the way Jared Goff is playing now
05:59Versus the way that Jalen Hurts is playing now, and I'm talking about this year. Who do you trust more golf is the answer right now?
