Sean Payton is one helluva play caller, regardless of scheme. Some guys just have that "it" factor when deciphering what will and won't work at any given point of the game, and Payton is one of those guys.

So we hired the assistant to the lame duck OC? that.......sounds about right

Carmichael is not a lame duck OC. he has plenty of input to plays. He just isn't the only one to call offense plays in to Brees. Got to watch the Saints enough to see it first hand.

Some of the routes are redicullous and juvenile. Noone is getting open except (Gulp) Ebron.

Noticed it back in Millen era and it's still hilarious... the Fan Base bitches about something and the Lions run with it.

I think opposing defenses just assume Ebron will drop it, even if he's left wide open.

WOW. Football smarts at it's highest level right there.

I'm still baffled as to why you didn't know the J-E-T-S would win last night and didn't have them as your selection in Gandy's pick em contest.

you'll probably not see too many of them either from here on out. I mean tHoop Lions board isn't for talking football. It's only a place to feel good about oneself in the Mind Fucking department and not a Damn Thing Else.
extra time isn't always a reality.

True unfortunately. Are you posting on other sites? This board may just implode.

It's too many egos if you ask me. You can't have solid football discussion if everyone gets pissed if you don't agree with them.

not posting elsewhere. not really a need or want to either. winding down the clock is all. The board imploded a long time ago. It's just taking more time to hit the ground than is necessary.

Yup, might be time to move on. At least take a break for a while. Seem to get more questions then answers and I dont have that much time anymore to answer additional questions that I did not prompt.

breaks are always a good thing until you come back and realize why you took that break.

Seriously?

I talk Colts and it becomes Stafford somehow. You're as bad as anyone else here with that stuff.

C'mon Smitty, I ain't saying it how you might be taking it. I'm not the one that tries to stir up arguments or fires shots at people. I was just saying that I think everyone thinks they are right all the time. I didn't mention Stafford either until he came up in the convo.

In today day and age, where would one go to where that isn't the case? This Organization doesn't make it any easier on the Fan Base... we're a nobody team in the eyes of most and the only Lion to make it in a Superbowl was during Katy Perry half time show.

The only posters who are pissed are the ones who are surprised the Lions are 0-2. I guess that's the majority, though.
