chasfh Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If the Bengals can kick a field goal (37-11) or score a touchdown (41-11) and that’s it, we’d have a scorigami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of one that's been worse. There have been other teams with shorter periods of mismanagement and failure but the Lion's record does speak for itself. You could go back to the Norris era of Wings ownership maybe - but even that was short term compared to the Ford reign of futility. There was some optimism that SHF was going to be an improvement but her poor handling of QuinTricia leaves it an open question whether she's the person to turn this ship around.

ONE! its amazing how terrible they are. no one else is close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I did not expect them to win today, but I expected more than that. First time they didn't play hard for the coach, they broke. The Minnesota FG broke them. 0-17 Watch is now underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Has there been a Lions head coach that went on to be a head coach for another NFL team? If not, that's amazing by itself. I used to got looked at with pity for being a Lions fan, now people just ask "Why?" 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 vikings just drove down the field against carolina in a tie game. carolina rushed 4 the entire time. didnt matter. then they missed a 47 yard field goal as time expired that would have won the game. poor lions. they just cant buy a break this year.

Well, Sheila didn't take over until after the draft and she did fire everybody and hired proven talent evaluators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ronz Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 21 minutes ago, buddha said: i dont think so. Technically, the answer is yes. Dick Jauron took over for Steve Mariucci when Mariucci was fired mid-way during the 2005 season. Jauron finished the 2005 season with a 1 - 4 record. Jauron then went on to coach the Buffalo Bills for several seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFH was already pretty much leading mom around by then wasn't she? You suppose she walked in cold the day the papers were signed? It's possible. Mike Ilitch was making bad decisions right till the end...... Edited October 17, 2021 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the 2021 draft. Gehringer was talking prior to the 2020 draft which was in March and Sheila took over in June. The decision to fire your GM should come no later than season end.
