Short week. There's no way they do it.

Patricia will be bailed out by the schedule. If we had a bye week next week, I believe he'd be gone. I don't see SFH making a move with the next game only 4 days away.

There's also the whole 'Lions in primetime for Thanksgiving' thing. Having just fired Patricia and then be in the spotlight as the lone game is going to turn up the intensity. 

For a team that was in the playoff mix the players must have felt like they weren't going to overcome the missing pieces on offense plus Stafford's injury and just quit.

Websters Dictionary now shows a video clip of this game next to the definition for "quit".

They absolutely did, against a QB making his first career start, and a team missing their best player. A 3-7 team. A really bad team.

There were tons of mistakes and lots of really bad football, but I really hated the playcalling in the first half. I felt we were way too conservative, and "All Day... up the middle on early downs" wasn't effective. The quitting, though... it was painfully obvious. And I put that on Patricia.

Schwartz wasn't perfect, but I can't imagine he'd stand patiently on the sidelines while he team got smacked around by a "lesser" opponent. For all of his flaws, the guy wasn't afraid to light the players up when they needed it. Watching Patricia just... stand there... really bothered me.
