Week Sixteen: Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) @ Detroit Lions (8-6)

[sagnam]

Campbell is a good head coach. He is overwhelmed with juggling running the offense and managing the team. He also may not be good at identifying coordinators. He’s 1-4, Johnson seems to have been luck.

Too many injuries to too many important players. This team just isn't very good at the moment.

Also, a failure by this front office to address the offensive line back during the 2024 offseason and get a long term replacement for Glasgow and/or Ragnow.

[TP_Fan]

Jesus Christ. Have to waste a timeout.  Incredible mismanagement everywhere. 

[sagnam]

Is there any doubt the get this 4th down?

[number20]

Of course they convert it. Of course

[TP_Fan]

Good thing they used a timeout for that. What is Campbell even doing man. 

[sagnam]

Davenport got up slowly. No way!

[number20]

Where has Hutch gone this half?

[TP_Fan]

It’s actually hilarious how bad they are. 

[holygoat]

After last season ended, I was at least comforted by the thought that it would be impossible for the lions to suffer the same number of injuries to important players in 2025, but it turns out that they suffered even more than last year. Because this year it's on both sides of the ball. We just suck now, because too many of our high-end guys aren't playing.

[sagnam]

They’ll get this.

[sagnam]

I am SHOCKED

Hutch. Mohammed. McNeill. Davenport. All non-existent.

[TP_Fan]

What a loser atmosphere from this group.  

[TP_Fan]

Since the TD lions have touched the ball once and took a safety.   Same as last week.  Lions came out and went 3 and out three times.  They have been ungodly bad in the 3rd quarter. Telling me we don’t have a coaching problem? 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

A 9 minute drive by Pittsburgh and they are last in the league in TOP. Yeeesh. Get the stop here. 

[sagnam]

Slump busters!

[sagnam]

Stopped them far enough to force the kick.

[number20]

Still a very winnable game

The change of coordinators, the changes on the offensive line, their two best defensive players recovering from very serious injuries and of course the rash of injuries that they suffer annually. This was a season that never felt right

[lordstanley]

Bad field position again. 

[sagnam]

Maybe Goff isn’t the superstar his cute little stat blocks implied.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Goff running for his life and then nearly throws a pick. It's really disappointing to see how bad Brad and the front office mismanaged the offensive line. He took an obvious strength, that he helped build up, and allowed it to become a weakness. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

That should have been a pick. Where was that ball going?

[sagnam]

Maybe everyone else will lose every game they play and the Lions can earn a spot in the playoffs!
