Lombardi should be fired

[TwoCents22]

I don't care if you blame the OLine.

I dont care if you blame Stafford.

I don't care if you blame the drops.

15 points, and no Touchdowns in 2 fucking weeks with Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate is absolutely fucking unacceptable.

 

[jayfan]

Can't disagree with the sentiment. Many offenses around the league doing a lot more with a lot less. It's laughable.

 

[kengel6]

Terrible coaching, just plain terrible.

 

[jayfan]

As far as firing...Not one more person should before fired from this organization until Mayhew is fired.

Told you fuckers last week the guy was an ass-clown. Even the average fan could see the Cards were #3 against the rush and the dumb ass tries to run it over and over. Patriots see the Lions are #1 against the run. What do they do? HMMM Pass every play!! Quite simple when you think of it.

Lombardi clearly thinks we should have success like New Orleans. With a good OLine and an accurate QB. Guess what, good OCs adapt to their personnel. We are a COMPLETELY different offense than the Saints and should NOT be running a similar offense.

More shotgun, more quick passes. More roll outs.

What about the ELITE, dual, top 20 draft pick TE's we are rolling out every week. Don't forget them.

We're in the shotgun all the time. I'd actually like to see Stafford under center more.

Don't worry -- Devin Funchess will be our savior in the 1st round next year. Imagine having to defend 4 monster TE's, as well as Calvin and Tate. Our offense will be even more unstoppable.

2 straight games single digit points. 3rd game of the year in single digits. Only had 2 single digit scoring outputs the previous 3 years combined. 15 points in 2 weeks. The only times we scored under 15 in any game last year was @ GB without Calvin and @ Minnesota without Calvin.

The Ebron sarcastic jokes and shit is old as hell. We know he's not playing well, damn. I think everyone is wondering what the hell is going here. I would suggest to be careful about asking Lombardi to be fired because we had a good OC, but everyone hated him. Even though Lombardi hasnt been great, this is all about the lack of execution by the offense. They cannot sustain drives at all. When you have repeated penalties, dropped passes, bad routes, arrant throws, sacks, pressures, mixed with confusion, questionable calls, injuries and such, its hard to do anything.

Every missed play has an effect on the entire game. There were plenty of tds to be had but nobody can catch on this team. Ross was called on to make a play and he couldnt even do it. Fuaria couldnt do it. Calvin couldnt do it. Ebron couldnt do it. Then, Stafford slides early....couldnt do it.

If you fire Lombardi, who do you get and what if he doesn't work?

 

[Kreton]

Can't fire the o coordinator Mid season unless the team is tanking.

 

[broncosmitty]

Ravens did it and won the Super Bowl.

 

[lionstop1]

Im disappointed but I'll stick to calling out the players for not stepping up. If you havent noticed, none of them handle press coverage well.

 

[Thruthefog]

One thing about Lombardi......he's no Lombardi.

 

[TwoCents22]

Its not execution. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the difference. Sure, Jeremy Ross and Fauria dropped catchable TDs, but they were covered. The design of the play and/or play call had nothing to do with that. I could go out there and call plays and get 1-on-1 coverage with Ross and Fauria. Fuller's drop he was covered. Again, we can get that all the time with Calvin and Tate drawing any doubles.

I don't get how it can be "execution" with players who have PROVEN they can be effective. Is it Tate? Calvin? Stafford? You can't blame 3rd and 4th options. No team goes "well our most important matchups today are our backup WR and backup TE". You can ALWAYS design plays to get those guys 1-on-1.

The OLine has not been good all year. We are still calling smashmouth football plays on offense that don't fit a bad OLine. We used Shotgun a lot more last year and people hated it. Well guess what? This is why!

The 2 plays that you could blame on the player were the Ebron plays. When a play is called and it gets a player wide open and the qb misses him, or he drops it, then you can say " execution". Ebron got wide open on 2 plays, 1 he dropped and 1 he wasn't paying attention.

 

[Old Lion]

We need to dust off the power sweep

 

[TwoCents22]

Hey we did run a flea flicker this year.

 

[gandydancer]

Not many screens to even attempt to slow down the pass rush. This is the one thing Lombardi is not doing that Nawlins does a bunch.
I really thought Lombardi would bring some creativity to this offense with so many weapons. Really thought he would have picked that up from Payton. Man was I wrong.

 

[TwoCents22]

Screens, bootlegs, quick slants, smoke screens, bubble screens, all plays I would like to see more of.
