You are Locked-on Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

Let's talk some scapegoats today on a Monday, December 16th, and a Tuesday, December 17th,

it is another edition

of Lockdown Lions right here in the Lockdown Podcast and Network. What's happening, everybody?

Matt Derry with you following yet another Lions loss. We had the postgame pod yesterday, of course.

We don't need to break down the Tampa Bay 3817 win over the Lions any more than we did yesterday.

You guys know what happened. The James Winston Show, a lot of injuries.

The Lions once again came out of the shoot very, very slow, trailed in the game 21 to nothing

before you could even sit down and enjoy your hot dog and beer at Ford Field.

It was an empty Ford Field, too.

A lot of empty seats, a lot of angry fans, some brown paper bags over the heads of fans,

some sell the team signs with Martha Ford's picture on it. We'll get into that today.

You'll also hear from Matt Patricia, the Lions head coach, again, pressed by the likes of Michael

Rothstein and Jeff Rieger about his job and about his future. But it appears at least, and many of the beat writers

are starting to get on this bandwagon, I'm not saying they want this to happen, but Dave Burkett

writing in the free press about Dick Vermeil saying, get Patricia a third year. Today, Kyle Minkie's

column on MLife.com, which was excellent, talking about other decisions likely already been made,

and he believes

that the Ford family Martha Ford and Sheila the daughter who's very powerful probably are going

to be bringing Matt Patricia back for a third season and I would assume Bob Quinn back for

a fifth season as general manager speaking of injuries if you think there's going to be a scapegoat, there's an obvious one.
