Game Thread: Game 5: Lions at Patriots

[Mebert]

Big day for Matt. His players wanted that W for him.

It's nice for him that Bill let him back on his coattails. Now he can go back to his sexual assaults in peace

I’m ready for Campbell to be gone now.


Only way he can save his job is breaking Patricias chins.

Campbell still doesn't have the dogs to get in a fight. He's punching above his weight class, IMO.

Yup. You can’t let him coach this team anymore.

He can’t coach.

 

[Edonidd]

He can’t coach.

This team isn't ready for coaching. They need to build a team that can compete first. He's doing fine. And who knows maybe he'll learn to coach. You can't fire a guy when the best player he has on the field is a cast off that the Rams were desperate to get rid of.

 

[Edonidd]

You've convinced me to start Tyquan Thornton who will be making his NFL debut this week. I benched Adam Thielen.

You're dumb for listening to me. Lol

But it didn't cost you much anyways.

This statement is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Missed assignments by every individual Lions defensive player.
Missed tackles by every individual Lions defensive player.
Poor execution by all players on offense and defense.
DB's don't have oily hips to flip, turn, run and close on an opponent.
Every damn positional player on defense needs to be upgraded or for the likely three that show probability of being good down the road need players opposite of them with the same type of talent, if not better.

The offensive line was overmatched all too often today. it's going to happen, but I wish it wasn't this game.
Goff was in survivor mode almost the entirety of the game.
J. Williams and Craig Reynolds shined at times today.

Every damn DB played as if this was their first game ever played - and not just by NFL standards

An upcoming bye week couldn't have been timed any better - maybe this week could've been that - but that's hindsight now.

 

[broncosmitty]

Campbell being around after the Bye week will be just another example of the Fords not caring.

 

[jayfan]

NE only scored 2 TD's against a college level defense.

This loss is on the Offense. Obviously.

Get rid of Holmes too. He can identify WRs, great. He has 6 defensive players out there he took in rounds 1-3 who all suck. Either that or Aaron Glenn is useless, but somebody has to go during the bye.

I never really liked the hire tbh. I’m good little Lion fan, I try to support them. But deep down I knew it wasn’t going work. They need a veteran HC or some rising OC not a TE coach learning on the job

I didn’t care last year. They could’ve hired my friends brother who helped coach my Freshman team 25 years ago. Fine, whatever. Even that guy knows you have punt sometimes.

I’m not mad at Aaron Glenn, he has no talent on that side of the ball. They suck, it is what it is. But everything Campbell is in charge of is dumb. Some coaches overthink things, he just doesn’t.

He got me twice as much as Hock did.

It appears that Campbell is one hell of a motivator who is a complete idiot.

My mistake. Only 1 TD for NE's offense. The other one was a Goff fumble-6.

 

[Edonidd]

I called that when he made the biting kneecaps comment. But I also said either his players would buy into it and it would work, or they'd see him as a complete joke and he'd fall on his face. So far the players are still buying in. If he loses the team, then he's gotta go, but until then he's the coach and his seat isn't even warm for me.

 

[DJ]

Surprised at the outcome.

Thought the Lions could cover and even win.
