Wow. They missed the call being at commercial.

Fox is such a joke. What a huge play and they take a long commercial and give no replays. Get the hell out of here.

Lets goooooooooooo!!!

Should be the lions top pick. No need to over think it.

Hutchinson is the best player in America.

That’s freakin ideal

Great hold by the D. Heading to the half with a 14-13 lead.

How blatant does the holding need to be for it to be called? This officiating is so bad. Clearly favoring OSU.

Let’s go!!!

Well there is a throw!!

He doesn’t have the ability. He is a great competitor, but he is physically limited.

Fox must have double the amount of commercials of any other network.

If Harbaugh is gonna ride with Cade this will surely be a loss. He isn’t a playmaker. That’s what this game needs.

Cade has to throw him in bounds. His side/noodle arm isn’t helping today.

Play your best qb one fucking time. Cade is fine. But JJ is a 5 star for a reason. You can’t just keep punting.

I’d go with JJ. Let the kid feel the moment.

Cade can’t do that today.

Fuck yeah!

The game hasn’t even started yet.

Yes. This yes. I’ve already prepared for busy work after the game to take my mind off the disappointment.

I forgot how good stafford was at using timeouts on the defensive side of the ball.

I thought he drafted pretty well. The FA signings aren’t of concern to me because the lions were trying to take the best from scrap heap. You don’t often find good players there. It was understood that was the strategy coming in.

He has already had one go at hiring a staff. 9 games in he stripped the OC of his duties. So let’s assume he wanted to take over play calling so he could see what he wanted in the future. What OC talent is he going to attract? Anyone worth their salt will steer clear because they know meathead Campbell will take away their play calling first whiff of adversity. For me, the argument is boiled down to this: Pretty much every lions observer agreed at the beginning of the season that Campbell would have a long leash. First year of a 6 year deal with an incredibly untalented roster. The benefit of the doubt was built is. However, as the season progressed some of us reassessed the situation and allowed nuance. After 11 games, the gaffes Campbell have made are obvious of an amateur. What’s worse though, is he is doubling down. Because of this, it’s not a stretch to conclude he has caused damage beyond salvage and it’s not worth it to go through the motions of 2 more years. This isn’t unheard of in sports. Campbell hears the criticism, he talks about it in his conferences. And he keeps making the same mistakes and then adds worse ones on top. He is a lost cost. Cut your losses.

This thread was an awesome part of my thanksgiving. Thanks all. Love the passion. Go lions.

The issue is you keep qualifying it. And you narrow it to play calling. The lions have been awful for 60 years, of course the issues run deeper. Some now we should give Campbell a free pass because of it? Today was as bad as it gets for the lions. The team held in there only for their coach to vomit on the field at the end. That’s the biggest issue. This talentless bunch is playing hard, how long until they fully quit when their coach keeps losing the game at the end? His egregious inability to understand clock management, use of timeouts and basic odds is why they haven’t won’t a game. With a competent coaching staff this team would have 4 wins right now. Does that 4 wins help them in the long run? No. But does continually losing due to ineptitude hurt in the long run? It absolutely does. Campbell has shown zero ability to progress. His decision making has regressed to the point where every person in America watched today and saw the lions had a head coach who would struggle to make it through a madden game. And folks here want to say, “yeah I agree the play calling could improve but otherwise no issues.” This staff is fundamentally worse than Patrica. That is hard to phantom. But it’s true.
