Just can?t lose to shitty teams like the Raiders and tie Arizona. Team should be no worse then 6-2. Team just can?t get out of its own way and can?t catch any breaks. So frustrating have to beg to get any games called right in the NFL. Why does Bevell?s offense go through such dramatic in game droughts. Plus when will we have a above average defense again ?

That last play is really bugging me even more. You can't take those guys of the field. Put Stafford in shotgun and have 4 or 5 wide.

Hell, if you are going to bring in that package and take your best wide outs off of the field, you might as well just run it. That would have actually caught them off guard since no one respects our running game.

Why, after every single game, do we always have to have such a head shaking moment?
 
I'm paraphrasing Patricia's answer on the last play in Kaline's video...we always have a few plays on the playsheet we can call.

Next time, when you have just 1 play left in the game and a chance to win or tie, please call the play that involves putting all of your best offensive players on the field. Use any one of those plays. Don't go down in flames with your best play call for the back ups.

That's who the Lions are, their record is who they are. They are not a very good team ran by a shitty GM and coached by a terrible coach. They profited by being in the NE system and will fail just like every other NE guy that has tried to move on.

I have been begging for this type of run for years. You are spot on.
 
Ain't very often that all 3 of the Lions' div rivals lose on the same week, but they do the most Lionsesque thing possible and lose a winnable game vs a supposedly inferior opponent, albeit on the road. IIRC, almost every time that it has happened, they failed to capitalize, although not many times would it have meant anything if they did win.

I was shaking my head at the tight ass formation as soon as they went out in it . I thought then might just show it then move out then I remembered we are the Lions and not that Innovated with our offensive schemes. Then they tried a play fake ! Wtf we have zero decent running backs healthy we are not running. Really a poor design of a play . So bad.
 
The lions are a fucking joke I?ve never seen a defensive genius give opposing team QB?s all day long to throw on third and long so consistently than do the Patricia lead lions this guy is a fraud the schemes are a joke defense and offense keep running up the gut and off tackle morons without the line to make it successful and why the fuck did they invest so much in tight ends and then not use them in the red zone much or to help run block patrica and Quinn are both frauds

Sadly you a right too. Patrica and to some extent Quinn are just not very good. It is frustrating.
 
Btw genius Bevell on the last play had these guys on the bench.

On the Bench
Jones, Golladay, Amendola, and T. J.was getting medical attention ! For a run Heavy look an play action pass To fucking Logan Thomas ? No wonder Bevell was fired in Seattle. For all his praise at throwing the ball down field more with Stafford this was a really bad play. Gotta be better. No one with this package is going for play action coach !

Wtf
