They just announced that Golladay is out . Still going to run all over them with Peterson! I am more worried about the refs than I am the Packers. |

| Anyone else play fantasy football? I made the mistake of starting Cousins on one of my teams. He is -1.56 at the half. SMH | ||

| Don’t feel too bad. The Lions are unraveling after jumping on ‘em early. Detroit is the best first quarter team in football. Too bad the game doesn’t end then, we would be undefeated! | ||

I really need to pick another team . Virtually every other Lions fan I know has a second team. They all look at me in disbelief when I tell them I don’t. My best friend is a hardcore Chargers fan, my other best friend is a Steelers fan. I have friends who are Rams fans, Cowboys fans and so on. The Lions can’t stop anything on defense. They can’t defend the run, they can’t defend the pass, they can’t rush the quarterback. They get out schemed every week. As much as it pains me, after more than 40 years it might be time to pick a second team . Maybe one that wins once in a while... |

Quote:Originally Posted by zdoes10 Hats off to Dallas. They persevered, and their winning field goal was the only lead they had in the game. Atlanta deserved to lose this game. When Dallas did onside kick with less than 2 minutes left in the game, Atlanta waited until the ball traveled 10 yards before trying to take possession. They just stood and looked at the ball. Onside Kick: Kicking team - cannot touch the ball until it travels 10 yards. Receiving Team - can touch the ball at any time. This was poor coaching on Atlanta. Embarrassingly poor coaching! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jabberwookie I liked coach Caldwell. He was a super guy and usually had the team ready to play. However, he was never going to get the Lions over the hump and into the land of playoff victories. I don’t blame Bob Quinn for trying to find a coach who could. What I DO blame Quinn for is everything that has happened since. This is 100% Quinn’s team, personnel wise. Matt Patricia is his hand picked coach. Quinn has made several questionable trades, getting poor value for quality starters, and his drafting has been mediocre at best. Matt Patricia’s record as a head coach speaks for itself. Quinn and Patricia both need to go, and they will be gone at the end of the year, barring a miraculous turnaround. I don’t know who the Fords can get that can turn this team around. I just think it’s sad that we are discussing it in week 2. The fans here deserve so much better. Lions fans are a loyal, passionate and extremely long suffering bunch. The last time the Lions won a championship my mom was 5 years old. We deserve a winner. The Red Wings turned it around after decades of mediocrity. So did the Pistons. Even the Tigers won it all in ‘84. Hopefully the Lions will win something during my lifetime. I playoff win during my lifetime is just not good enough. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders No one will be more surprised than me. Heck, the things that had to happen just for me to pick correctly is insane. The Cowboys comeback, the Chiefs and the 58 yard field goal, Seattle coming back. It just boggles the mind. What a very strange week in the NFL. Now I'm going to hear about the amazing comeback all week, and no one is going to talk about a defense that is even worse than last year. |

Quote:Originally Posted by michaelekrupp Isn't that the worst position to be in? Knowing you have a decent coach, but not a great one. I felt the same way about Garrett, and two games into the Mike McCarthy era, it's looking like Garrett wasn't as bad as I thought. Being a fan is maddening sometimes... Well, I hope your Lions get better coaching and soon, while Stafford still has something left. |

| Lions need a coach who can get players to buy into a system and play fundamental football. I look at them like I did the Bengals when we hired Marvin Lewis after the 2002 season. Team was in shambles, he came in, got the young guys to buy in to his philosophy and got veterans to come in and help lead. He was a breath of fresh air for the team. He was never going to be the guy to get the team over the hump and had the job way too long but he was what the franchise needed at the time. Coaches like Caldwell and Garrett are similar to that as well. They get them in the right direction and then you find the guy who will take them over the hump like a Tony Dungy or a Dallas-era Jimmy Johnson. Patricia just seems inept. He should have been fired by now. As a Bengals fan, I do sympathize with Lions fans. I feel like we all know what we're going through. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley I very much agree, but the other problem with having that "good enough" coach is there are a lot of those guys out there, and not many of the great ones. You've got Belichek in NE, REid in KC (and he was one of those "good enough" guys until last year), maybe Sean McVay, Pete Carroll, and that's about it. Having a competent coach who gets you to the playoff each year is helpful. You can't win it if you're not in it, but it's very much like being a 7-8 seed in the NBA. What's the point of getting to the playoffs just to get bounced out? It's a really tough position to be in, and I feel empathy for any fanbase that's in it. Studley, at least you aren't still dealing with the Akili smith, David Klingler level draft picks anymore... |
