What if the bottom doesn't fall out to the point of 1-16. Is there a win total beyond 1 game where if we achieve less than that you believe Sheila will fire Campbell? I don't think Campbell is going anywhere, regardless of what happens. I'm still on board with him coming back next year myself. But being supportive of Campbell gets harder and harder as the weeks go by and the losses pile up.

Also there is a difference between scoring in the second half and scoring in the second half when you are consistently down in football games and having to claw your way back week after week. it isn't so much the scoring in the second half issue I had with Stafford and the Lions offense. Rather, it was constantly being down and having to try to come from behind win. Also, scoring when the other team is switching over to a soft zone style of coverage, not pressing at the line, and giving the offense more room to operate, hence the stat padding comments from many fans.

When they scored 0 points against Dallas and New England was the defense the issue?

We're 1-6 this year. In two of the six losses we didn't score a TD in the game at all. We haven't scored a TD in the second half of a game in the last 3 games. While I agree that the offense has played well/extremely well at times, stats like that can't be ignored or discounted under the guise of "well the offense has played well and it's not the problem." There are two halves of football and in 3 games in a row, we've failed to score TDs in the second half of a game. That is a problem.

I think Lynn was the scapegoat insofar as the offense was performing poorly, they deemed it to be all or mostly his fault, and he got fired as a result. Has the offense improved under Ben Johnson and Campbell? Absolutely it has. Is it where we want it to be though? No, not at all. This team, for all the points they have put up, has 0 TDs in the 2nd half in 3 of the last 4 games in October. You can't build a successful team or offense by not scoring at all in the 2nd half of games. That fault has to lay at someone's feet.

Campbell already scapegoated his OC last year with firing Anthony Lynn. Aaron Glenn got to pull his card this year with Aubrey Pleasant getting fired. I think we are real close to the "you better start improving and winning or else" phase of Campbell's tenure as Head Coach. If this defense still doesn't improve and Aaron Glenn has to get fired, that says a lot about Campbell.

Did Brian Daboll inherit a good team in New York? Did Robert Saleh inherit a good team in New York? Did Arthur Smith inherit a good team in Atlanta? I believe that Campbell did inherit a piss poor, terrible roster. I believe that this was a 2+ year rebuild. But the whole "Campbell inherited the worst roster in the league narrative" becomes less potent when you look around the league and see 3 first or second year coaches having significantly more success than Dan Campbell is having, with rosters that weren't expected to be any better than ours. In the case of Brian Daboll, his GM Joe Schoen is also in the first year of his job alongside Daboll.

What an incredible take down of Herschel Walker by this Pastor.

Huge win for Lula da Silva and the people of Brazil. Also, an understated aspect of Lula winning is that this is a huge win for the rainforests of Brazil Bolsinaro was the worst environmental President on Earth for what he did to the rainforests in that country.

Let's say the Lions win 3 games this year again and not a single game on the road. Going 6-27-1 over two seasons, with no road wins is not just a sign of futility from the coach or broader organization. It is a troubling sign that your players aren't developing and improving under your leadership and your staff's leadership. If there is no growth on the field from individual players, position groups as a whole, and the entirety of a team, what's the point of keeping the coach around for more of the same? I'm not saying fire Campbell yet because I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that we will see improvement from here on out. But going 6-27-1 with no road wins over two seasons is Rod Marinelli/Hue Jackson level of bad. It's really hard to justify keeping a guy at that point once the season is over.

Fredo Trump Jr. is the worst combination of being both dumb and repugnant.

The one other person that HAS TO BE FIRED if Campbell goes is Rod Wood. If Campbell does go there is no reason why the Team President who helped hire the last two failed head coaches should keep his job. Sheila has to fire Rod Wood if she's going to fire Campbell.

We're about to potentially be 1-7. If that isn't the wheels falling off, I don't know what is. How much more of a leash does Dan Campbell get? I've said all season and preseason that I wanted to see growth and improvement more than wins. While I still believe that, at some point though you have to start winning. If you're still sitting at 1 win and you're 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and can't win a game on the road ever, the improvement argument holds less and less weight with every loss.

Should have been PI.

What a slow ass start by Michigan.

Young does more than just extend drives by scrambling, which he does. He also steps up in the pocket to get by the pass rush and deliver the ball to an open receiver on a developing play. One of the continuing narratives on Goff, as shared earlier from the tweet by MB, is that Goff takes the sack or misses the downfield shot because he drops back so far in the pocket. If Bryce Young were 2-3 inches taller he'd be the consensus #1 pick and #1 QB I think.

I think of all the harmful things that right wing media has done over the years from Rush Limbaugh to Fox News to Steve Bannon, it's the fact that the truth, honesty, facts, and integrity have no value in our political system anymore. If you tell a lie often enough then it becomes reality to the masses and the right wing media ecosphere and the people in it really understand it.

Screw a football game. Edwards should be suspended for the MSU game. He's got to know better than that and if he really believes that about Jewish-Americans and Jewish people, then he's a terrible human being!

I really miss the Notre Dame game.

Another day, another Herschel Walker abortion . . .

I share a lot of indie country, Americana, and singer-songwriter stuff on here and if you dig that kind of music you should give a listen to Charles Wesley Godwin and his 2019 album Seneca. Seneca Creek (song below) and Strawberry Queen are my two clear favorite tracks from the album.

They were talking about who is the Lions most tradable commodity today on Doug & Scott on the Ticket. TJ Hockenson's name came up as one of the most tradable commodities we have. If someone was willing to give you either a 2nd round pick or if not that, a 3rd round pick, at the trade deadline for TJ Hockenson would you make either trade?
