Game Thread: Game 7: Lions vs Dolphins

[Edonidd]

Who is the color guy on the broadcast? He sounds very confused about the situation and time left.

James Lofton. I think he's been drinking or something. Maybe just CTE, he's been awful from the begining of this game.

Good start, damn Reynolds should of had it but I'll take the points

1PM ET on CBS. Not sure why it is not on FOX. Maybe it is too.

• Spread Favorite: Dolphins (-3.5)
• Moneyline: Dolphins (-184), Lions (+154)

When an AFC teams visits a NFC the AFC network (CBS) has the broadcast rights, vice versa (Fox) when a NFC team visits an AFC team.

How is Hill getting so open in the middle of the damn field? I get him beating someone long.

My God this secondary maybe the worst I've ever seen

Here we go, clown car just entered Ford Field.

Will we see Miami punt today?

 

[Wazmankg]

Stop them now or it's over.. so it's probably over.

0 points in the 2nd half. That’s where a guy like Wan’dale comes in handy.

Oh well.

Who?

 

[RobBase]

Who?

The 6-1 Giants no.1 WR and one of the higher ranked WRs on my big board this off season.

Campbell's job should not be safe right now, results matter.

Well both starting safeties are out and we only have 1 CB that is worth his salt. The other one is not game ready yet. The wheels have come off Amani's bus so he is probably done as a starter going forward. When Jacobs is ready he should never come out. Amani was so bad that Will Harris outplayed him today. Our LBs were a little better for the second game in a row. Unfortunately our front 4 seems to be getting worse. Pascal is too slow to be a DE. Buggs should just be a backup for McNeil. Need big upgrades still at all levels.

Offense crapped out in the second half. Reynolds dropped 2 TD passes. He needs to be at the bottom of the depth chart. Unfortunately we wont get Williams out there till after T-day. Hopefully Chark comes back. We need guys who stretch the field and hold on to the ball.

Not for this year. They gave him a 6 year contract and permission to dump basically all talent for a long term rebuild. This year was never going to be competitive. If there are no signs of improvement next year it is time to start talking about changing coaches.

The Lions Old Revolving Door trick... New Philosophy and Schemes to suck for another three years.

Exactly, they traded away their starting QB without having any backup plan on the roster. And they haven't even used half of the draft picks they got for him. And the 1st round pick that they did use hasnt played yet. Like it or not we're still at the begining of a long term rebuild.

I wouldn’t play Williams this year. He hasn’t even practiced yet.

The Rams #1 pick got better today as well.

Kinda crazy that Staff’s offense has scored the fewest points in the league.

Not crazy that Jeff Okudah’s defense has given up the most. Even with a week off already.

I disagree. The NFL doesn't require 5 years to rebuild, and part of the problem is that Campbell is costing this team games. I really wanted it to work with him, I hate having to change coaches again, but he simply isn't good at coaching. Cut bait and move on.
