Game 8: Lions @ Texans Thread

[tonyballs]

I've never truly been on the "fire Caldwell" bandwagon but i'm hopping on board today. Some of the moves and non-moves he made today were absolutely absurd. Putting all that pressure on that joke of a defense is beyond retarded. He didn't even give them a fucking chance. Did you see the looks on the players faces? Pure disbelief.....what a joke.

42 points in 12 quarters against the Bears, Titans, and Texans. """"""""""MVP""""""""""

Remember it's all on the defense and the drops and the penalties. .

MVP Matt Stafford can do no wrong lol !!!!!!!!

 

[tonyballs]

Noticed I said jim bob and the came plan. Glad you think 13 points is enough because our shitty defense has now had games of

16 points.
17 Points.
20 points.

All of these games should and could be wins ..no why don't you stfu..did I say I wanted him gone... no but please tell me he couldn't have played better in all of those games? IT'S bullshit the lions are 4-4.

Might be bullshit but it's not all on Stafford. Our defense is a complete laughing stock and we literally have a buffoon of a head coach.

 

[adam86107]

Yup, had a much better chance getting the ball back with the defense starting at the 25 rather than starting almost in fg position

Sure he can, idiot. He's not perfect but if you think drops, defense and penalties don't factor into losses then you need to fucking off yourself.

The onside kick might have have been early but I'm not sure it mattered much. The D didn't stop them anyway..

It's been a weird season. I thought 4-4 was likely but thought we'd get there a different way..

Ya the Lions receivers werent really getting open, and then some ill timed penalties hurt drives also. Stafford wasnt at his best, but I don't think it was is fault the lack of points can be placed entirely on him. The whole offense was off today.

 

[biggunsbob]

Caldwell should be fired.. can't wait till he defends yhe onside kick,.

but i thought we were getting all of our weapons back so we were going to be awesome!!!!

 

[tbone413]

Way too early for the onside kick for sure. Did they even have a chance at recovering it or was it right to somebody?

No, that is what makes it even worse. The Lions had like 4 fucking people on the side they kicked the ball, and martin kicked it right to Houston....it had zero chance of working.

Sure it mattered, Mitch. He didn't even give his team a chance

I just want to know why Captain conservative chose that time for such an aggressive, nit-wit decision to onside kick. The ONLY decision was to kick off deep and hope you get a 3 and out. Heck with the 2 minute warning the Texans could have gotten a first down on the 1st play and then you stop them and get the ball back with about 1:50 left on the clock.

I'm not saying the defense would have stopped them but you know the Texans would have been content to run the ball 3 times knowing Osweiler hasn't made the best decisions.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Sure it mattered, Mitch. He didn't even give his team a chance

I don't know where Houston got the ball at but a 3 and out, they punt to us. Same if we kicked long.. Detroit just needed one stop.. Bad call or not, Detroit didn't make the stop.

Yeah its the defense fault only.....Like I said any of that. But all of this mvp talk has to stop cause sadly he can't win many games on the road. Jesus your a pissed off dude with anger issues. Go hug or punch a teddy bear because you need it.

 

[turok]

46 years of watching Lions teams trying to achieve the pinnacle of mediocrity, only to exceed it twice.

All traces of WCF-Millen-Mayhew need to be excised from this franchise, then maybe their legacy of futility will finally be dispersed.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Is this as bad as Marty taking the wind in OT?

 

[biggunsbob]

Just not very happy with jim bobs offense. He is getting way to much praise when in fact he has been bailed out 4 times by stafford this year. Is it up tempo Jb or not ? Matt seems clearly better in a gunslinging type offense to me. The Bears game Plan Still bugs me. 13 today, 14 verses the bears and 15 at home verses the titans are just not good enough.

 

[sggatecl]

On the surface you might say 'Not a chance.'

But if you really look at it, both situations gave the other team the ball with only needing a field goal to win the game, putting their (average) defenses in high pressure situations. The only difference being Caldwell gave an even shorter field than Marty.

Defense only? Where did i say that? Lol. Offense was bad.....defense was bad.....special teams were bad (missed FG). We lost the game. Too many things happen in this game that were bad. But dummies like you can't fucking wait to put it on #9 because you don't like him lol. And i'm not angry. I just enjoy calling out imbeciles like you. The MVP talk on Stafford is legit. Will this outing cool talks? 100% but he's been playing lights out football lately. Today....not so much, but don't sit there and tell me that our defense had nothing to do with the loss. They're fucking horrendous. 3-4 drops too.......and an idiot HC that doesn't know how to football. Take your head out of your motherfucking ass.

 

[tigermud]

Oh the lions, every time you start to consider the possibly maybe we're wrong this time, maybe they really aren't that bad, they go and prove once again that nope you had it right the first time.

Getting upset no longer provides any relief from the decades long success of being a joke. For the first time ever I actually fell asleep while attempting to watch these clowns
