SimbaWho Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I thought it'd be over for us by now though honestly. They're sticking around and making the season interesting till the end. I was really, really let down with the Vikings loss on Thanksgiving and the thrashing we got the week following. Looked like they checked out and Stafford was possibly injuried. Then a win against the Bears and Buc's offers a sliver of light. Long shots... Lions would have to at least win one and tie one in their remaining games, if Either ATL/NO/CAR tie lions have to win out. ATL has to lose out playing tough teams, all be it for there division though, (N.O./CAR) N.O. has to lose out playing obviously, ( ATL, and T.B.) CAR has to lose out playing, ( T.B., then the above mentioned ATL. ) * LA has to lose out, Seattle win out, *Lions win out*, hold tiebreaker over LA, if LA tie's they clinch the division.

Uncle Buck Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I hope you guys get in. The playoffs would be a lot more fun with the Lions involved. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't run the ball, Ebron was dropping everything thrown his way and teams were putting points on the board. Then the second half rolls around we start looking like an actual team, make some plays. 4th Quarter - Stafford has to drive down the field to win the game or Prater has to kick a 50 yard FG. It's great that we know the team has the ability to come back and win games if they're down. It just shouldn't be your week-to-week formula. It's not sustainable.

SimbaWho Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I think ATL is going down! Two very rough match ups... Could lose both and no one would really be surprised I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLF54927 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 That was a pathetic performance and an awful gameplan. Playing not to lose finally caught up to Caldwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what happened, and the team's effort matched Caldwell's mindset. It's just not good enough, and it's not acceptable. All this team had to do was beat two bad teams, and we couldn't pull that off. Sure, weaknesses exist across the depth chart, but there's no true excuse not to win these games. We came out flat. We didn't fight when it mattered the most, and Caldwell should be held responsible. The question is: who replaces him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I respect Teryl Austin but I don't want him as HC. Quinn has to find his own guy. I'm pretty pleased with what he's done in all areas of personnel so far, so now is the time for him to take the next challenge as GM - finding the right coach. There are no obvious slam-dunk names out there, that's for sure. But it's time to try someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashtagFTW Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Josh McDaniels is the obvious next head coach for the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McDaniel's goes the giants and Louis Riddick is the gm im starting to think Bill O'Brien is going to be our new hc next yr. I think Caldwell is gone. maybe bring in Matt Patricia as dc, and I could see Jim bob staying on the staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimbaWho Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Idk, Honestly I hope neither are really considered favorites or obvious choices already. People are just making the NE connection. Josh McDaniels doesn't seriously deserve a head coaching job over other names that will possibly be available. I mean it too. He gets so much credit for Tom Brady and the Patriot offense/system. The Patriots where fine with him, without him, with him again... They've got great players all over offense on top of it like. Man, most over-hyped guy ever. Matt Patricia has a real case because his side of the ball isn't filled with tons of talent and a lot of niche players over the years. He puts players in positions to do what they're best at doing and I can see it translating into a HC role. Doesn't force square pegs in round holes so to speak. I never really love "system" guys that have to have players with certain skill sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
