And yet today we still manage to look really good.

Alright, go score here and show you're the better team!

Great pick by Hutch. This dude is good!!!

I guess we can add starting RB to next year's off season list.

What the hell happened to week 1 Swift?

Saquon Barkley struggling, no problem, we'll just run Daniel Jones.

Holding negates a great run by Goff.

I am going to reiterate for anyone that needs to hear it this, but I am not calling for Aaron Glenn or Dan Campbell to be fired. I do not want them to fail to be proven right in some "Oh, they should have hired Brian Daboll or Robert Saleh" moment. I want them to succeed and I want this team to succeed. While I am a very cynical fan, and often look for the negative angle in things, I want this coaching staff and team to succeed. I want to root for consistent, playoff winning football for once in my 35 years on this Earth. I think you are correct, AP both deserves credit for Jeff Okudah and criticism for Amani Oruwariye. Oruwariye has very clearly regressed this season and that may be on AP, the player himself, or both individuals. This firing may not have completely been a random name, drawn out of a hat, in order to fire someone for the sake of public accountability being shown by the team. It may well have been due to how poorly our secondary was playing. I do wonder though why Pleasant was chosen over other position coaches and Aaron Glenn. At the time Pleasant was fired the Lions had a 28.8 percent blitz rate at that point of the season. And yet, were still bottom five in sacks and pressures, in spite of being in a blitz heavy package created by Glenn. Our blitzes were not getting home early on. This went along with an awful run defense that ranked in the bottom 5. We had a run defense that had given up an average of 154.9 yards per game and couldn't stop the run. So why fire AP over D-Line coaches Cameron Davis or Dave Corrao? Our non-Rodrigo Linebackers couldn't and still can't cover in space, get beat over the middle of the field, and don't do well against the run. Alex Anzalone, who continues to start week after week, looks awful on the field. So why fire AP over Linebackers Coach Kelvin Sheppard? No one sans, Hutch, Rodrigo, Okudah, and an injured Tracy Walker looked all that impressive on our defense. When the offense looked bad as a unit, Lynn paid the price for it, not a position coach. When the defense looked bad as a unit, Pleasant, a position coach, paid the price for it, instead of Aaron Glenn. I just can't help but think that was scapegoating in order to protect Campbell from having to fire yet another coordinator. If the argument is that Aaron Glenn doesn't have the raw talent yet to work with on defense, don't Pleasant and all of the position coaches deserve the same leeway?

Gonna laugh real loud if Tua Jr. and Maryland can pull this off.

Let's go Maryland!

He literally saved our season!

What are you smiling about Harbaugh? You looked horrible down the stretch and called an awful game towards the end trying to throw it at the end instead of running it. You got the win, but it was as ugly as they come. Not the way you want your team to look heading into Ohio State.

Are you kidding me? He called a timeout that fast?

This is coaching malpractice!!!

RUN THE GOD DAMN FOOTBALL!!!!!

Why are you throwing it there? WHY?

That's big, what a mistake by Illinois!!!

He looks awful right now. I don't know what else to say

Two plays and we get a dropped pass and a wide open throw missed!

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

What the hell was that? No one within a mile of that throw.

Holy shit!!!! We got really fortunate there.

I should not be yelling at the TV this much against Illinois.

Who needs to when you are this wide open and marching it down the field like this. They want to go for the kill shot on Michigan.

A great turn by Bell off the punt and we can't capitalize with 7 to tie it. Really needed 7 there.
