Season 2 of Passing Time: Detroit Lions Talk starts now — and the offseason is already on fire. 🔥

In Episode 38, we break down everything shaping the Detroit Lions’ future:

The Lions just made their biggest offseason move… and not everyone is buying it. Drew Petzing is the new OC — so is this the missing piece, or the first red flag of 2026?

🦁 Drew Petzing is officially the Lions’ new Offensive Coordinator — what does this hire really tell us about Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, and the direction of the offense?
📋 We dive into Petzing’s background, play-calling tendencies, Arizona criticism, run-game philosophy, and whether this is the fit Detroit was looking for.
🚨 We also discuss the candidates Detroit didn’t hire and what that says about the Lions’ priorities.

🛡️ Kelvin Sheppard interviews for an NFL head coaching job — how real is the threat of Detroit losing staff this offseason?

🔄 Around the league, the NFL coaching carousel is spinning — Giants, Falcons, Dolphins, Ravens, Raiders, Bills, and more. Would coaches rather join Detroit… or try to beat them?

💥 Plus:
• Bill’s Bullet Points return
• Playoff lessons Detroit must learn
• NFC & AFC Championship predictions

This is the start of Season 2.
Higher expectations. Same grit.

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. Stay gritty, my friends.

🎙️ 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. The Lions finish 9–8, sweep the Bears… yet watch Chicago win the division. So how are we supposed to feel?

Before diving into football, we pause to honor Miss Elizabeth Westrick, our biggest supporter from day one. Our thoughts and prayers remain with her family and loved ones.

🔥 From there, nothing is off limits:
🔥 The emotional fallout of the season finale
🔥 What Week 18 told us about Dan Campbell, the coaching staff, and the locker room
🔥 Dan Campbell grading himself an “F” — and how we grade the staff
🔥 Offseason questions: retirements, staff evaluations, and roster futures
🔥 Draft position, cap space, and why 2026 may be set up better than you think
🔥 Player exit interviews that reveal more than the box score
🔥 Bill’s Bullet Points 🔥
🔥 Around the NFL: playoff picture & coaching carousel chaos
🔥 We also officially close out Season 1 of Passing Time and talk about what’s coming next.

This episode is part recap, part therapy session, and part roadmap forward.
