Higher pick vs knocking the Bears out, hmm?

Knocking the Bears out.. I live in IL so it would be nice to be able to talk a little shit to all these Bear fans lol

Knock the Bears out for the playoffs. Maybe if it was another team I would root for the draft pick position but it's not like we're going to go from number 5 to 15 if we win this game.

Lions inactives: Kellen Moore, Kevin Smith, Drayton Florence, Ricardo Silva, Jason Fox, Corey Hilliard and Ronnell Lewis.

CB Ron Bartell will get the start at RCB opposite Chris Houston and DT Andre Fluellen will start at DT.

Lions may consider firing Schwartz.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on Sunday Countdown that the Ford Family is concerned enough with the current "culture" of the Lions to at least consider firing head coach Jim Schwartz.
The Lions took a huge step back in 2012, and many observers are attributing it to a loss of control at the top. Immediately after Mortensen's on-air report, one NFL executive texted to ESPN's Adam Schefter the following: "Just heard Mort on Jim Schwartz. I believe he is right. The Fords can not be happy." The Lions endured a seemingly endless string of offseason arrests, only to fall flat on their faces once the games began.
There have also been rumors of "tension" between Schwartz and GM Martin Mayhew, the latter of whom is fully expected to be safe. If it came down to it, Schwartz would lose that power struggle.

Doesn't he have 3 years on his contract yet, then what we'll end up with linehan as the HC? or start the typical every 3-4 years change everything up again plan. on and on and on and on, it never ends. Well... if he goes please hire someone who doesn't play for FG's that's all I ask!

 

[LKP]

Let's see what Bartell can do. He is signed for 2 years.

Normally in this situation I would want the Lions to lose for better draft position. If it were any team other than the Bears or Cowboys I'd say lose but I wanna win this one! Go Lions!

Wow. Just wow. How can anyone not pull for a loss today? What I heard was that the Lions can fall from 4th to 11th or something with a win. Ergo, the hell with the Bears...so we don't knock them out. Big deal. They're not going anywhere anyway. Thing about Schwartz is...I really liked him, but have had some reservations, especially after his silence after Megatron's TD was nullified in Chi in 2010, then the character problems, then his stupid red flagging and nullification of a review, which cost his team...then there's the stupid snap in Tenn...oh, it goes on and on...just blow 'er up and start over again, I spoze. Hell, that's the Ford way.

Didn't realize it was sucha dramatic difference. 4th is a worlds difference from 11th.

Yep blowez it up every 3-4 since 1957, I wonder if that has anything to do with never winning. naaaw that would be silly.

 

[mhughes0021]

if the bears lose wer emore than likely letting the vikes in....so whats the difference? lose and get the better draft pick.

I still don't see Schwartz being fired. He signed an extension and last year he won 10 games and went to the playoffs. This year everything went wrong. I just don't see how you don't bring him back for another year to find out what you really have. Plus this organzization does not just quickly fire coaches. The only way he would be fired is if they already had a big name lined up for the job (Gruden or Cowher) who is immediately ready to step in. Don't hold your breath. He'll be back next year and I think he should be. Besides, when has firing coaches and picking high in the draft ever lead us going deep in the playoffs. Plenty of teams pick near the bottom of the draft every year and continue to go back to the playoffs.

Screw the draft, go for the win and knock a division rival out of the playoffs.

its just another showing of how pathetic this organization is. All the bad press, all the bad drafts, all the bad play, all the bad losses, all the drug charges, all the fines....and alot of people on here want to make excuses for it instead of holding people accountable. Team is a shit show....i wouldnt really care if all of them were fired. Cant be worse than it is right now.

 

[adam86107]

bell with a nice return

 

[imthetruth]

Can't believe it took 15 games to finally bench Logan.. Unbelievable.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Way to target Calvin Johnson,

 

[tigermud]

oh look 3 and out on the first drive, what are the odds

 

[adam86107]

haha D-line got zero penetration
