If we miss the playoffs

[jared]

is the consensus here that Schwartz will be fired? I know there are no guarantees, but it may be worth missing to get this joker out of here. Maybe WCF can factor in the money saved on smashed headsets when making that decision. The team reflects his personality. And his personality sucks.

If they decide turnovers and big plays allowed are mainly Schwartz fault, then yes he would be fired. We would miss Linehan(Stafford has to learn a new system) and the Washburns

.....and lack of adjustments, lack of discipline & 3 years of a team that gets worse towards the end of the year.

He should not return regardless. He is a shitty head coach!

Finished 4-0 in 2010 and 3-1 in 2011.

You don't know what was adjusted during games.

Even if they make the playoffs and end up losing at home, Schwartz should be fired.

Lots of injuries but the 3-1 finsih got us the playoffs in 2011. We'll see how they finish in 2013. That is all that matters right now for saving Schwartz.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He needs to win a playoff game to save his job IMO.

 

[LKP]

If we miss I hope they still keep him. Nothing to do with coaching. I want to see your guys reaction to that.

Your a class act, lkp. I suspect that most thinks he stays regardless. So probably won't be too much "reaction"

Do you blame Schwartz for this drop rate and turnoves inside the opponents 30? Poor Stafford with this drop rate. Highest in league by far.

Lions moving the ball well and just giving it away.

 

[grandy]

If they keep Schwartz I'll just assume this organization is inept....which history seems to prove.

More miscues and poor play
The Lions have held a fourth-quarter lead in each of their last three losses. To say Stafford has struggled in the fourth quarter of those games might be an understatement. Stafford is 8-of-33 passing in the final quarter of the last four games, including an 0-for-10 effort in a Week 11 loss to the Steelers, and a 1-for-8 effort in Week 14?s loss to the Eagles.

Outside of Calvin Johnson, Stafford hasn?t had much help. The Lions have dropped an NFL-high 41 passes this season, 10 more than the next highest team (Rams). Even accounting for the volume of passes, the Lions have the highest drop percentage (8.1 percent).

Penalties have also been a problem in Detroit. Only the Rams have committed more defensive penalties than the Lions this season.


looks like it is more Stafford than anything?

 

[LKP]

More drops than anything. Highest drop rate. Lots of 4th Quarter drops. Plus terrible weather in 2 games.


Stafford is a good QB. Got a shot these next 3 with him for sure.

24% completion rate in the 4th over the past 4 games? Holy shit....that IS a lot of drops!

Why does bad weather only effect us?

Not alot of attempts. % can be greatly skewed with a few drops and low attempts.

For drops. Don't know. Stafford made enough plays. Eagles ran the ball but hit long to Cooper twice in the 3rd and Celek on a full out run D. Stafford hit Pettigrew and Calvin long in the first half. Teams play us differently because of Calvin. Pass defense and deep safeties is the way the Lions are defended because of Calvin.

And there were 3 drops in a row down 34-20 last week. 3 more down to Pittsburgh as well.
