Game 12: Lions @ Ravens Thread

[biggunsbob]

absolutely not on Josh McDaniels hell no, anyone but him please.

I will take anyone but Caldwell and his coaches ..
ANYONE!!!

McDaniel - his name gets brought up all the time but why is still with NE year after year if he's such a hot commodity.

He won a playoff game with Tebow. Our dumbass can't win a playoff game with Stafford.

It's an officiating and sports medicine conspiracy I tell ya

 

[Mitchrapp]

I can't wait for spring training.

unfortunately, the Lions are closer to a playoff win than the Tigers are

But the Tigers have done things in the past years. World series appearances. They actually won 2 in my lifetime. I don't have the same hatred and I actually enjoy baseball more.

The Lions get the hate because of 60 years of ineptness.

And the Lions aren't closer to a playoff win. 26 years now.. and counting.

He got his chance in Denver as head coach and failed. Goes back to NE looks smart. Someone will give him a other chance.
Having Brady makes you look smart..great players usually do.

Yes. But it's been what 5-6 years? And yet no one hires him. H doesn't seem interesting enough as a hire.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Please Quinn. Clean house and go hire Josh McDaniels!!!

No way. We'd be back looking for a new coach in 4 years having wasted Staffords prime years.

Id take just about anyone but McDaniels. He's a failure waiting to happen.

I meant the teams as constructed....the Lions are closer to a playoff caliber team than the Tigers.

Really? You mean the team who lost to the Ravens by 4 scores. That team? The Tigers will eventually get better.. The big difference. And you said playoff win, not just playoffs.

Six playoff spots, varied schedule strength, and "any given Sunday".

An NFL team can be just good and lucky enough to win at least one playoff game (except the Lions and Browns).

An average to below average baseball team gunning for five (really four) playoff spots is going to have a really hard time even making the playoffs in a sport where there's enough regular season games to separate the good from the bad.

He was a complete joke in Denver I'd rather keep Caldwell over that joke

Like you said, the Lions. They're 26 years from a playoff win. They could still be another 26 years away. Who will get to the playoffs next, probably the Lions. Who will win a playoff game/series next - no doubt in my mind the Tigers.

Lions are closer to a playoff berth than the Tigers, but not a div title or a win by any stretch.

Having posted that, both have in common the recent deaths of their longtime patriarch owners, and I have very little trust or faith in the current Tigers' FO turning the franchise into a productive farm and contender fielding system anytime soon, if ever.

 

[sggatecl]

You know what's not complex? Putting 11 people on the field.

NINE?? NINE FUCKING PLAYERS? Has that EVER happened??

If Caldwell has a job after this season I will be baffled.

Here's what I don't like about McDaniels. He was a massive failure in Denver. He MOVED UP (trading 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks) to draft Tim fucking Tebow.

Huge fucking failure. Needs to be the smartest guy in the room......kinda like Schwartzy.

Goes back to NE and under Belicheck and Brady and guides the offense to exactly what they had done before. Wooooohoooooo......you look great as the distant 3rd wheel behind the greatest coach and QB in NFL history.

Don't want him. No thanks.

 

[kdp1980]

I think I might hate Mcdaniels more than Caldwell, just something about him. I'd definitely take him as an OC though, that's his sky imo

 

[kdp1980]

I know its just an article, and an opinion, but I hope this is a sign that big changes are about to be made
