| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. I'm |
| 0:05.6 | Joe Kanya with me as always is Eric Schlitt from USA Today, Lions Wire. Also, our Detroit |
| 0:12.4 | magazine's number two most beloved sports columnist or blogger for the year of 2020, which is quickly |
| 0:19.9 | coming to a close, but I don't think they do a new vote until March or April. |
| 0:23.9 | So we'll stretch it out for a few more months after that. |
| 0:26.2 | Eric, very sad Sunday for the Lions shut out for the first time since 2009, falling 20 to nothing to the Carolina Panthers. |
| 0:35.0 | The term I used to you in a text message shortly after |
| 0:40.5 | the game was it's a perfect last straw game. But there's that issue. Obviously it's Tuesday and we |

| 1:28.5 | Like, could you do it after this week when you have a 10 day period in order to prepare? Yeah, sure, |
| 1:34.6 | maybe. I don't even know if it would happen this week. I, I've all, we've long said they're going |
| 1:40.4 | to get through Thanksgiving. And that's been the case. |
| 1:46.7 | Yeah, well, I still think they'll make the whole season. |
| 1:54.4 | Yeah, look, they said meaningful games in December because they want to see what they do in December. |
| 1:54.9 | You know what I mean? |
