The need to act like Holmes and Campbell are always right is near cult like. It’s acceptable to be a fan of someone and still disagree with some of their decisions. You are allowed to expect more and still support them. You are even allowed to openly question them without wanting them replaced!

 

Why are people like this? If we aren’t winning then the plan didn’t work. It’s not really even debatable. The “rebuild” is over, no more looking toward the next draft. There is enough talent on this team to be in the playoffs. Something went wrong. It’s not just injuries, SF has an entire conspiracy theory around their injuries and they won a road playoff game.

Criticizing is fine and I think for this year there is a couple valid things that I would.

1) Counting on Glasgow and rookies on the line

2) Relying on Davenport to be healthy and productive 

3) This may be just my opinion but I didn’t like the RB usage this year. Monty didn’t get used well and Gibbs got overused. 
4) Overaggressive approach offensively the second half of the year. Gimmick plays when not needed and 4th down calls 
5) Defense being stubbornly stuck to high usage of man to man even when injuries caught up. 
 

Things that I don’t think are fair criticism is for injuries and not trading for players. I am of the opinion that you basically never trade middle of the season on the NFL unless you need only 1 player. That was not the Lions this year.

Let’s make a trade to make a trade so we can say we did something. 
 

If the Eagles would have just kept Sweat and Williams instead of trading for Phillips, maybe they’re still playing but they made a trade because they want to win!
