Detroit is enjoying a stellar season, but they have more players on injury reserve than any other team in the league. Their loss to the Bills wasn't just bad because it was a loss. That game also resulted in even more injuries, putting Detroit is a very difficult place.

There's plenty of negative buzz right now around the team because of these injuries, but it's not over. Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit joins Anne Erickson for a special episode of The Squad to talk about the team's schedule through the rest of the season and, if it comes to it, if the team can beat the Eagles in the NFC championship game. Of course, before then, they have a handful of difficult games, including their final regular season matchup against the very hot Minnesota Vikings.

Listen now, and let's hope the team can get healthy in record time.

Detroit and the Big Game - Is It Achievable Anymore?

It's the final stretch of the NFL regular season, and teams are starting to look ahead to the postseason. Detroit is in great shape at 11-1 going into their Week 14 matchup against Green Bay, but if you happen to be listening to this podcast after the game, that's okay, because we're talking about the entire rest of the NFL season.

One thing that's really plagued Detroit is injuries. It seems like every time there's a new play, another guy gets injured. There's no denying that injuries are an issue for Detroit right now, but that's true for a lot of teams. Just look at San Francisco. They've been without quarterback Brock Purdy for a good portion of the season, and now, their biggest star, Christian McCaffrey, is out. So, it's not just us. Also, something really worth mentioning is that Detroit has still been able to pull off wins, even without the team's starters. There's something to be said for that kind of depth.

So, will this be the big year that fans finally get to see Honolulu Blue at the Super Bowl? Should fans be booking their tickets to New Orleans for the Big Game? It's a real possibility, but we're not there yet. On this episode, host Anne Erickson is joined by guest Brad Berreman of SideLion Report to talk about all things NFL.

Talking the NFL in the Final Stretch of the Season

Detroit is looking stronger and stronger each week, and the team is gaining even more respect as the 2024 NFL season continues. It's so heartwarming to see all the love thrown at our guys and heard the positive things everyone from Tom Brady to eve the Packers' coach. This team, and this city, deservers it.

For this podcast, I'm just briefly checking in to say hello and talk a little about the upcoming game against the Houston Texans. I'm a fan of Texans quarterback C. J. Stroud and head coach DeMeco Ryans and think this team is solid, but I really don't think they'll be able to match Detroit. The game is away, which could complicate things, but Detroit is never scared of a road game. We also just added Za'DariusSmith to beef up our defense.

Detroit is Looking Stronger and Stronger

Okay, Arif Hasan is not the enemy. But, he's a reporter covering the Minnesota Vikings, so here in Detroit, he could be considered on the other side of the fence. But, they say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, so chatting witha Vikings expert isn't a bad idea. All joking aside, Hasan always an interesting and deep look into what's going on in the world of the Minnesota Vikings.

Detroit pulled off a win over Minnesota last weekend in a very close 31-29 victory. It was expected to be a close, exciting game, and it delivered in every way. The win came down to the final minutes, and it took me a while to even believe that Detroit had actually won after the clock finally ran down in the final quarter of the game.

Hasan joins Anne Erickson on "The Squad" to talk about the Vikings' miraculous season, as they've only lost to Detroit so far, as well as the state of the NFC North and the rest of the NFL. They talk about the status of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers and which teams could go all the way in the playoffs. Listen now and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Chatting With the Enemy: The Minnesota Vikings

It's been a wild few weeks for football fans in Detroit, as the Motor City's beloved team has been on a fantastic winning spree. But, there have also been some lowlights, such as one of our star players getting injured amid a big win last weekend.

When all is said and done, right now, many in the NFL are actually saying that Detroit has the best team in the league. It's quite incredible to see these commentators and insiders who used to joke about the team now saying they're actually the No. 1 best in the country. It feels great.

Jeff Risdon of USA Today joins host Anne Erickson on "The Squad" to talk about all of the recent developments in Detroit, from injuries to blowout victories, and what's ahead on the schedule. Next up, the team takes on the Vikings on the road on Sunday, October 20, which will be a big game, since the Vikings are undefeated right now. Then, the team goes up against the Titans on Sunday, October 27, at home, which Risdon says is by far the easiest game remaining on the 2024 schedule. The Packers are also up ahead, which is obviously a big rivalry, with a November 3 matchup in Green Bay.

Does Detroit Have the Best Team in the NFL?

The Detroit Lions looked stellar on the road against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, September 22, and came out with a 20-13 victory. The week prior, the Lions fell in a surprise loss to the Buccaneers, so seeing the Lions back on their A-game in Arizona was certainly cause for celebration.

Now, the Detroit Lions are hosting the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, September 30, for Monday Night Football. While the Seahawks are underdogs going into this matchup, the team is 3-0 for their season, while the Lions are 2-1. Plus, there's something about the Hawks that's helped them pull off consecutive wins over the Lions, no matter who's the better team. So, will the Lions be able to pull off one of their first victories over the Seattle Seahawks in years?

Dating back to the 2003 season, the Seahawks have won nine of their last 10 games against the Detroit Lions. They've also won their last six games. So, it'll be a tall order. Even if the Lions are a better team, it doesn't seem to matter when they're up against the Hawks. I think this one could go either way, but if I had to make a prediction, I'd say the Lions will take it, 21-17. I don't see this as being a very high scoring game, because both teams have solid defenses.
