Fat Pat leaves and NE has the #1 defense in the NFL without him. Says about all you need to know.
So the guy whose defense allowed 41 points in the superbowl is bad at defense?

3 winning seasons and two playoff games out of 4 years is a reason to get fired by the "Lions Fan Base" in the Lions Organization. 2017, the Lions Fan Base whined saying Caldwell was too conservative.All the franchise has done is regress since Caldwell was fired.
Question... did you see Kenny Golladay or Marvin Jones on the field for the very last play? It was never winnable when they're not trying to win.Stafford had too many miscues and cost the game still despite a bad defensive effort it was winnable.
I know you aren't trying to blame Stafford of all people for this loss. Without Stafford, this team would be easily 0-7.
This whole defense is a predictable shit show. Man to man 80% of the time that is EASILY beat with crossing routes.

The defense is not based on having superstars. It is based on everyone being able to to their job. NE is using the same one. All their players do their job. The Lions have 5 guys that dont. They did a better job of mixing up formations but at the end of the day the players have to execute. They are also not wrapping up on tackles anymore. Just throwing shoulders in. That needs to change. Front 7 needs a lot of changes.
We also should have been doing the AA gap blitz. They had a tackle playing center. I did not see 1. Saw Davis blitz once. Thats about it.
Well Smitty at least we got that one locked.Well shit, it was an exciting loss leading into The Battle For The Basement next week.
Front 7 is terrible other than Kennard and Flowers.

Yeah I was shaking my head when I saw Golladay and Jones jogging off the field.
One play left and you send 80% of your passing attack to the sidelines and throw to your third string TE.
I'm all for seeing what Don Brown could do with the talent on this defense (minus our lackluster LB corps). At least he has the balls to call for blitzes and put pressure on the opposing QB's.
Deja Vu of a different philosophy, the wrong personnel and injuries. Maybe MP can tell BQ that he needs to sign Has Beens and Bench Warmers from Tampa Bay (oops I mean the Patriots) for Joe Barry (oops I mean Paul Pasqualoni) for a good defense.DL has talent to succeed and be dominant but scheme is all wrong. Injuries to multiple players have had a negative impact on what could have been this year. On paper this team should be successful up front but they aren't. MP hasn't made the proper adjustments in game and he's too damn stubborn to do so. What may worked for NE isn't working here with these players.
