Dan Campbell was basically a 1 trick pony in Detroit. He did a nice job changing the culture with the ra-ra knee cap biting bravado stuff and the 4th down gambles. But at some point you need someone in there that knows what he’s doing.
@the_det_times Confident, like in what way?
NFC North Title? Ha, ha, nope.
Playoffs? Possible but not likely.
Any playoff W’s? HELLLLLLL NO!!!
“Confident” as in a solid draft pick? YES!!!!
@Roary4Life Looking ahead they have to play MIN twice in 3 weeks which will probably be a split and then they’ve got DEN and DAL. I think you have to say 11-6 at best, right?
@bobdutton38@RealDannyB Rookie deals start to expire after next year so they need to win now. In a couple of years it will be time for another rebuild.
We’re headed towards a very predictable finish where Lions are overly conservative on offense and let the Vikings back into the game. Watch how many times they run on this next drive. It will be sickening.
Lions didn’t need to worry about the clock on that last drive, they just needed a TD. That’s a spot where so many coaches outsmart themselves. Instead of taking the most direct path to a win they stopped doing what’s been working the whole game. Oh well, still up by 15 though.
