I feel like I’m the only person who noticed that when Fox showed Jefferson yelling at Linehan, Nate Burleson was standing behind them. But he was suited up to play! So the video wasn’t even from yesterday’s game!

You probably are the only person because it wasn’t Nate Burleson, it was Stefan Logan.

The Lions off the field mngmt and tactics have a lot more issues than just one drive. It’s a global concern and they need leadership from the top down to get the most out of the players and devise an overall game plan and system of team culture and chemistry. There are dozens of small and large problems that have to be fixed first, not just looking at one drive and saying we should have passed instead of run. That’s just a byproduct after effect of the conceptual challenges we face that the top of the leadership structure is not addressing properly!

The Lions are very talented. Instead of fixing the few issues they hadn’t year and become that 12-13 win team, they changed to much all over from the offensive coordinator smartness and some of the players thinking that they are untouchable. Tackling and backfield on defense is the teams main problem. Along with the coordinator. Fix that and the team will be back next year as a 12-4 or 13-3 team. As big and long as a fan I am, I can only wish that everything goes right from here out and we win but I believe it’s to late. The Texans will beat us I’m sure on Thanksgiving. I don’t even want a barely win because the Texans deserve to be in the playoffs with an all around solid team. Maybe next year.

It is becoming increasingly more clear that the Lions organization lacks discipline from the head coach on down.

You knew this team was going to implode sooner or later. Scumbag coach, injury-prone frat boy douche QB, and the rest filled in with loudmouth clowns with Suh as the head clown. Calvin Johnson is the only long-term positive thing they got going.

It all starts with Schwartz, he’s a loser, just like the rest of the team. Hope the Lions sign him to an extension.

This must be the first time a coach has yelled on the sideline.So yes because the WR coach yelled that’s why we lose… good call!

Didn’t the Lion’s oline give up 5 sacks?
Walden actually pushed the pocket in on ‘em…
Factor in that pressure on Stafford along with his sort of inaccurate day throwing it – idk.

They were doing an alright job running it with that Big Predator looking dude.

So that is the extent of the game management meltdown? How about that Detroit that quit thinking at the end of the game. Not one of the coaches could suggest “LET THEM SCORE!”

If ever a situation to let the other team score, this was it. Do the math! 8 POINT GAME with 1:50 remaining and two time outs while returning a kick, or 4 point game with 18 seconds left and no time outs at your own 17 yard line??????

Did not Tampa come back in final minute from 8 pts down just yesterday? It happens a hell of a lot more often than a team going 83 yards in final 17 seconds to win a game.

The late game meltdown should have nothing to do with the assistant coaches–all on the head coach!

So who was the Lions’ player who was complaining about how the Lions were not being regarded as highly as the Saints even tho’ they had the same record?
Well yesterday is why.

Schwartz is in over his head as a HC. With as much talent as this team has, the Lions should have 8 or 9 wins at this point in the season.

Calvin Johnson is the bee’s knees, that response he had was perfect. Detroit is fortunate to have that guy.

Maybe Jim Harbaugh should join the staff and keep the peace. Teams assume the personality of their coaches. They’ll never be a serious contender as long as Schwartz and co. are in charge.
