@ChimRitchels I don’t think this is that big of a deal lol Sam has never complained or bitched about anything and has been elite this year. He literally said he isn’t worrying about it until the offseason lol
@DETcross21 offense will get better and it did look much better yesterday. But they need to get more consistent. Even yesterday they had 3 straight 3 and outs to start the game.
Also as unfortunate as it is, lots of those QBs are all mobile and make flashy plays. That helps the MVP case too
@DETcross21 It’s also very dependent on team success. the 2 primetime games we played we got dominated. 1 TD in the 2nd half vs a bad panthers defense.
Against a bottom 5 defense at Buffalo they had multiple KEY drives go 3 or 4 plays and end in a punt.
1000000%
Defense sucks
But offense is average at best
Dan can’t hire OCs and doesn’t know offense well enough to call it himself
Looking like 3 failed hires in a row.. he lucked into Ben Johnson
Anthony Lynn, Morton, petzing
Bump #onepride at what point do we seriously start to put blame on Dan Campbell for not hiring the right OC or DC? He’s the reason to blame for it all
Not sure why lions fans can’t understand that.
@ChimRitchels Again, this offense is average at best with some elite playmakers
Scheme is bad. You can’t put consistent drives together with Gibbs, Amon Ra, Laporta, jamo, just brutal
The lions are just not great anymore. They are just good. No elite offense anymore. Defense is still as bad as it was in 2021.
Likely another miss by Dan Campbell in hiring an OC. All this talent offensively and you have the most basic offensive scheme
#onepride#lions
Him with no questions or interviewing other candidates. Again, I love Dan but he needs to be held accountable and needs criticism. I understand he made us relevant but 2 years removed losing Ben Johnson and this team has been average to below average
Lots of lions fans are so hesitant to put blame on Dan. I Love Dan and so glad he is the coach of the Lions. But he deserves so much criticism. He miserably FAILED with Morton at OC last year. Completely failed with kelvin shepherd at DC. He had no other plan. He just gave it to
My take is that hiring Kelvin Sheppard was an irresponsible bet on "his guy" from Dan Campbell and I honestly feel bad for Sheppard.
He was 37 when promoted, and had only been a coach for 4 years of his life. To make matters worse, he had only coached under a very one dimensional Aaron Glenn system.
His failure as a DC falls entirely on Dan Campbell, IMO.
@thsauceman Offense Isn’t the main issue but it’s not elite anymore
They couldn’t score TDs yesterday against a team that was missing SEVERAL key defensive starters
@mgdmd1 Yeah we all knew the defense would be bad. It has always been bad. Lions elite offense has always just kept them winning games
The offense isn’t good enough to do that anymore
Obviously the defense is the biggest issue
But the difference in the offense from 2024 to now is huge
