They had the #1 offense in the league coming in. I think their odds of making nine yards on one play are equal or better to kicker-of-the-week making a 50+ yard attempt outdoors on a visiting field. We have a punter. 4th down and 9. The offense should have just walked off the field in protest of his coaching stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 This is unbelievable. We're going to have to use receivers as defensive backs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the one that's missed on some early picks Maybe instead of hamming it up for the cameras on Hard Knocks, he should have taught the defense how to tackle?

TP_Fan Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Campbell is now coaching his 22nd game. This team still hasn’t won on the road. How long does he get to show any credible ability to coach? This has been a complete embarrassment against a 3rd string rookie QB. A total no show from a group that said it would respond. Campbell needs to be on the hotseat. He isn’t an NFL coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score a TD with 3 minutes left... miss the 2-point conversion. Onside kick recovery. We kick a FG with a minute 38 sec's left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Some of that shine coming off of Ben Johnson too. He has been made to look like an amateur. As hard as this is, this is a benefit for the franchise long term. Needed a game like this from Goff to remind everyone how awful he is. The lions will continue to be wholly irrelevant if Goff is the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 You really have to give the Lions organization credit. It's not easy being this bad for so long. Every team has had glory years except for us. In every major sport. Somebody has to be the worst and we win that battle. Horray for us.

Sports_Freak Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Campbell's game plan. No punting and no FGA. Just go for it, every 4th down. Put all the stress on a horrible, horrible defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play against the other team and the officials. Now we have to make up for Campbell's bonheaded coaching. Too much to overcome. What's it take to get fired around here?

Eagles were 2-5 to start last year. They ended up turning it around and made the playoffs and are now talked about as Super Bowl contenders.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Brian Daboll is 4-1 and Dan Campbell's about to be 1-4. The Giants have turned it around and done in weeks what the Lion's won't be able to do in two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
