Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast.

I'm Joe Kanya with me as always.

It's Eric Schlett from pride of Detroit.com.

Eric, the Lions suffered a miserable disaster of a defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bears on Sunday 24 to 14.

Yeah.

This week, they will face another familiar foe in the Minnesota Vikings.

We'll talk about last week's game.

We'll preview this week's game.

Do you have any early thoughts you want to lay out there?

No, I, you know, I don't think I was alone in having the confidence that I thought the Lions could

actually win this one. And you were somewhat confident. Yeah, you know, and, and I think that

if they would have been able, if they would have played the way that they had any of the previous

three games, it would have been a lot closer than it was.

But you get a couple significant injuries early and a couple of big mistakes from young kids.

And you don't finish, you know, you get inside the 10, four times, and you come away with

zero points.

It's a rarity.

Yeah, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a

witness it, you know, I think we can, you know, I'm interested to see your perspective

start up with the, with the, with the, uh,

roster stuff. Let's start with the, right. Let's do, let's do what we normally do. Start with the roster stuff. We'll get there. All right. The big one, number one, Romeo, Quara, it's on season ending I are with an Achilles injury. It's a big blow. Yeah. It does give the opportunity for them to play Bryant and Julian Aquara more.
