“Free pass.” What do you propose to do? Burn some jerseys? Write a sternly worded letter? Draw and quarter him? Maybe you and TP want to script the first fifteen plays and get a hotline set up so you can advise him on his use of timeouts.

Another delusional fan who thinks the Lions would be playoff bound if only the coach would send five guys on deep pass routes every play. “tHe plAyCalliNg suX!” Everybody knew from the start that Campbell was an inexperienced coach. Everybody knew from the start that the roster is bereft of talent (and that was before Ragnow and Swift got injured). Everybody knew this team was going to be in the running for the first pick in the draft. They are right on schedule for that. There are no surprises.

They don’t trust Goff and they are calling a conservative game plan. Even so, the OL got six (I think) holding penalties and a handful of false starts. And Goff had a fumble as well. But yeah they should have been chucking it all around the yard. 🤦🏻‍♂️ This is not a good team. They do not have good players. Everyone is building for 2024, Campbell included.

Just based on his history as a head coach (who may just as easily have been retained by his previous team as let go) it seemed clear that he was hoping to be with Detroit for a bounce back season, then to move back to a head coaching role. In the meantime, it seemed clear that Campbell prized his head coaching experience and his ability to mentor some of the young coaching prospects the team had attracted. Alas, it doesn't seem to be working out the way anyone expected.

Yes, thank you. Everybody knew after Tweedledum and Tweedledee left that the team was going to be a disaster, especially after Stafford begged out. There was some optimism that Goff would be adequate, but here we are. There is a reason Campbell got a six year contract. It is a massive rebuild, and with a six year deal, they are promising him at least four years to get the team in playoff shape. He will need it. It is not a good look for Anthony Lynn to get play calling duties revoked, but I would bet money that this is something that Campbell and Spielman talked about extensively before it happened.

I can't wait to not watch today's game.

I wonder if anyone has ever told him that he can "climb the ladder" in the pocket.

LOLOLOL!!! Of course he missed it. But now... WTF... Is Pittsburgh trying to lose?

On second thought, 1.6 YPA is... no that is as bad as it looks.

113 rushing yards. When is the last time we saw that in a half of football? 11 passing yards. When is the last time we saw that in a half of football? Geez, in today's NFL, you have to be bad bad bad only to muster 11 passing yards in a half.

Goff is not a smart man.

Yes. Just imagine if we had a QB who could really open up the running game.

Say what you will about Campbell, but I can't remember a Lions running game that regularly moves the pile 3-5 years as they did on that Swift carry late in the 2nd. The running game is not there yet, but it is looking up.

Well if not for Campbell they’d already be 13-0! /s

Goff's revenge: He engineers a garbage time drive which leads to a last second field goal that makes the final score 38-23, just narrowly covering the spread.

It is possible that Holmes never meant anything he said about Goff after the trade.

Yes, he has traded for Goff twice. This is a red flag.

What about that post suggested that finding a QB like Stafford was easy?

I thought Goff might be OK. He’s worse than I thought possible.

Oh help me Jesus.

I get it, but really, we are going to get offended as fans because the team tried and failed to obtain some return for an asset they valued at zero? Like the team owes us as fans complete and accurate information on every call they receive? Maybe they ought to dial all of us up on draft night as well.

Meh. Once they decided the last regime's guy did not have the right attitude you knew they would get rid of him. They had decided he was worth nothing to them and put him out there for a day in case there might be two teams that wanted to take a pass.

THEY COULD HAVE HAD DONALD!!! Sorry for shouting. I know you’re aware.

It was 3434 yards. He threw for a whole season today. Hats off!
