The Official Detroit Lions Den Thread

[General Jack]

Kittens were a fun team to watch. Lions fans deserve the best.
Major shortcoming was the relentless dependence on physicality and aggressiveness. You can't go 17 games plus playoffs with players falling to IR list in droves and expect that testerone and bluster will get the job done. Every time I hear that the next man up knows what's expected of him, I absolutely want to puke. People start for a reason. People making $5m a year being replaced by players making $600k is not a recipe for long term success.
Every play in every game is not the Battle of Thermopylae, playing like it is is not sustainable.
Hope the kittens learned a lesson today and will be back better next year.

Lions did just fine with testosterone and aggression, and yes, they were a fun team to watch.

The issue tonight was 5 turnovers. They could have won tonight despite all the injuries if they hadn’t turned the ball over 5 times.

Do you think it was a distraction for our coordinators having interviews and possibly already having new HC jobs lined up before yesterdays game?

Maybe, but I mean doesn't every successful team deal with that?

Did they actually interview?

I think Goff turning the ball over, repeatedly is what hurt the Lions last night.

Yes

The fact those interviews happened mean 100% of their professional energy wasn’t focused on game planning. I don’t like it but I don’t blame the loss on it.

NFC NORTH was arguably the best division ever. But went 0-3 in the playoffs.

It was a good division, and a phenomenal regular season for them, but collectively, I think they massively benefited from playing the AFC South.

The Lions brought a lot of enjoyment to football fans this year.

Okay @zjcvols and @Chippo that was a tough loss but thats enough moping, let’s start thinking about next year. We will be back and probably one of the favorites. We gotta let Holmes cook and do what he does best, add some key pieces and ger rid of the rubbish.

All said this is hypothetical because it didn't
Come about but I really would be bummed
If it was the last play off game and lost to
The Eagles. So close yet so far away.

I personally would not have gone to the worst ownership/GM situation in the division but good luck Ben. You were awesome for 3 years

 

[zjcvols]

I’d promote Montgomery from within and let him be the OC.

I’d go outside the organization and would throw the kitchen sink for Saleh
