    Passing Time: Brad Holmes Speaks - Accountability, Reality, Philosophy - Emergency Pod - 1-9-26

    Send us a text Brad Holmes finally spoke — Accountability, Reality, Philosophy. Following a disappointing season, the Detroit Lions GM met with the media and repeatedly used one word: failure. In this emergency episode of Passing Time Podcast, we break down Brad Holmes’ press conference and what it means for the Lions’ 2026 direction. This Emergency Podcast is built around three pillars that defined the presser: Accountability. Reality. Philosophy. We dive into: Why Brad Holmes grading himself an “F” matters — and where accountability may have stopped short The reality of the offensive line after Frank Ragnow’s retirement What the Lions must do at center and why OL help is now urgent The surprising comments about David Montgomery and what they could mean for his future in Detroit The Offensive Coordinator search and whether Dan Campbell is quietly stepping away from play-calling Why EDGE remains a priority — even if the moves don’t come with headlines Holmes’ belief that the Lions are still close, and why patience is becoming harder to sell with the window open Brad Holmes wasn’t promising fireworks. He was promising work. But in a win-now window, is that enough? We close the episode with the question every Lions fan is asking: Do you trust Brad Holmes to fix this without forcing headlines? 🎙️ That’ll do it — I appreciate you Passing Time with me, a Detroit Lions podcast.

    Send us a text 🎙️ Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk — Episode 37 | A Win, A Sweep, and an Empty Finish | Lions 9–8 Season Finale The season ends, the emotions linger, and the questions only get louder. In the final episode of Season 1, we close the book on the 2025 Detroit Lions with an honest, unfiltered conversation after a 19–16 Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears.

    Passing Time - S1E36 - 12-30-25 - 2025 was a failure, but what has to change before 2026?

    Send us a text Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk — Episode 36 Did the Lions Fail in 2025? The Vikings stole Christmas from the Detroit Lions — but that loss might’ve exposed something much bigger. In Episode 36 of Passing Time, we break down the Lions’ brutal loss to Minnesota, six costly turnovers, and the late-game mistakes that continue to define a disappointing 2025 season. With the Packers and Bears also losing, Detroit still has one game left — but does it even matter? We preview Lions vs. Bears in Chicago and debate whether Detroit should play to win or protect draft position, what this game means for next year’s schedule, and if revenge for Ben Johnson is enough motivation. Then we dive into: 🔥 Lions (8–8) vs Bears (11-4) full game preview 🔥 Jared Goff’s contract and the future cap decisions 🔥 Brad Holmes’ biggest challenge heading into 2026 🔥 Dan Campbell’s messaging — still working or getting stale? 🔥 The growing concern around a rookie defensive coordinator and Super Bowl expectations 🔥 Bill's Bullet Points We ask the hard questions Lions fans are already debating: 🔥 Was the 2025 season a failure? 🔥 Does this team need a rebuild or a retool? 🔥Who deserves the most blame for falling short? 🔥 How confident should we be in the 2026 Detroit Lions? The Lions aren’t taking an offseason until they’re eliminated — and neither are we. If Detroit jumps out early, this favors the Lions. If Pittsburgh controls the tempo, things get uncomfortable fast. This game will define the season. 👇 REAL Lions fans 👇 LIKE • COMMENT • SUBSCRIBE Help us grow Passing Time and ride this playoff push together. Stay gritty.

    Send us a text 🎙️ PASSING TIME: DETROIT LIONS TALK Season 1, Episode 35 — “Where Do We Go From Here?” This one hurts. The Detroit Lions’ loss to the Steelers wasn’t just another mark in the loss column — it may have been the one that ended the playoff dream. With the margin for error already razor thin, Detroit came up short when it mattered most, and now the path forward is unclear. So we ask the hard question: Where do the Lions go from here? On this episode of Passing Time, we break down the fallout from the Steelers loss, what went wrong, who deserves blame, and why this defeat all but eliminated Detroit from postseason contention. Then, we turn the page to what’s next — a looming matchup with the Minnesota Vikings and a season hanging in the balance. On Episode 35, we cover: 🔥 Lions vs Steelers recap — the moments that swung the game  🔥 Why this loss likely ended Detroit’s playoff hopes  🔥 Coaching decisions under the microscope  🔥 Offensive struggles and defensive breakdowns  🔥 The emotional toll of season collapse  🔥 What motivation looks like with the playoffs slipping away  🔥 Lions vs Vikings preview — pride, spoilers, and rivalries  🔥 What fans should realistically expect the rest of the way  🔥 Big picture: roster questions, leadership, and culture There’s no sugarcoating this one. The playoffs are no longer in Detroit’s control — if they’re even still alive at all. What is left is pride, accountability, and answers. 👇 REAL Lions fans 👇  LIKE • COMMENT • SUBSCRIBE  Help us grow Passing Time as we navigate the highs, lows, and reality of Lions football — together.
