Logan may not be the best return man statistically for the Lions but Jim Schwartz gets the stupidest play in football. Logan just made a mistake, Jim Schwartz threw a flag to challenge a touchdown in the Houston Texans game that cost in 15 yards for a touchdown and the game consequently. He has no room to call anybody stupid.

And we thought Suh was the stupidest player on the Lions.

There is a whole lotta stupid in Detroit.

Don’t worry kid. Matt Millen was the architect of a 0-16 team and gives advice on what football team should do better as a team on tv.

Bonehead plays are usually the result of poor coaching. Great teams don’t make those mistakes. That seems to happen all the time with the Detroit Lions. You do the math. As a fan of a rival NFC North team, I hope they give Schwartz a 10 yr. extension.

I’m sorry but what good is this going to do in their regular season finale? Win or lose, what difference does it make?

This football team is poorly coached from it’s “throw the ball the Calvin Johnson” offense, to it’s “Let’s hope our defensive line [Suh] rushes the passer to cover our horrible non-tackling secondary” defense, and lastly this non-sense on special teams.

Very talented roster. Poorly coached. When your coach doesn’t even have a firm grasp on the rulebook, you know it’s bad.

This the same guy who used a fair catch signal to signal his guys to get away? Then had the nerve to argue the ref about it.

Logan should have been gone before LAST season. He’s strictly a return specialist, yet he is probably the worst returner in the league. He offers no other attributes to the team. He very well might be the worst player in the NFL.

VERY close… but not the ‘stupidest’ play I’ve seen.

Leon Lett… Dallas Cowboys… in the sleet/snow.
That one’s still #1 in my book – by FAR.

I have watched pretty much every lions game that Logan has played…and I think he has returned one kick past the 50 yard line…and the lions get a ton of kickoffs…

Lions bonehead play ??? You know, there was an offensive lineman there once that actually purposely let a defensive lineman get by him to sack the quarterback. Can you imagine that ? Talk about bonehead.

Games since last TD return? 43, his only one in 214 opportunities as Lion

Fumbles in 48 games as a Lion- 16
100+ return yard games as a Lion-10

Bonehead plays over and over, more fumbles than 100 yard games, terrible vision, no burst, terrible fair catch decisions…and a jackass.

I blame Schwartzie for playing this guy that long. When they traded for Mike Thomas in week 8 I thought it was over for fumblebumblelogan….nope.

Morons.

Schwartz should be benched to his couch at home and never step foot on a field again.

The fact that Schwartz impulsively said that on camera is just more proof of the dunce he is. Do you ever see any other successful coach act like this bozo? I wish Harbaugh would shake him around with a normal human handshake and nudge him to the side with a simple pat on the back like the baby he is again. Fire this loser!

I am surprised Schwartz didn’t throw the challenge flag.

It was a brain fart.

They are unexplainable, and they happen to almost all athletes at some point. Most of the time, the athlete is lucky and it doesn’t occur while they are the focal point of the action.

I’ve played/coached/refereed rugby for over 25 years. About 5 years ago, I threw a textbook football block on a guy about to tackle a team mate of mine.

There is no blocking in rugby.

Brain fart. Happens to the best of us.

Does anyone think Schwartz or any coach deserves to be retained as head coach when he ends the season with most likely 8 straight loses?

Hard to argue with any Jim Schwartz decision. He’s clearly pushed all the right buttons during this magical season.

By: toledolions

Day late and a dollar short on this one. He should have been released after last year’s pathetic showing. That’s Schwartz though, he sticks with guys way too long. There are about 6 other starters that shouldn’t even be on the field, but he refuses to ever bench anyone for not performing. Even when there are younger, more talented, high draft picks on the bench that should be starting every week. He just keeps putting the same garbage team out there week after week. It’s inconceivable how this guy retains his job, but his contract runs through 2015, so he’ll be here until 2015, because everyone else in the organization is blind to his incompetence.

For those that are backing up Logan, you obviously don’t watch very much Lions football. Logan has been royally bad. As in one of the worst return men I have ever seen in the NFL. The extra disappointing part is that for the last couple years he was actually pretty good but this year, awful doesn’t even begin to describe his play.

If he’s still under contract, maybe they can get a beer can and a sack of walnuts in a trade with someone.
I’m guessing he’ll just be cut. And never hear of again.

this seems quite in line with the Jim Schwartz era… good players not knowing what to do or when to do it… I feel bad for Lion’s fans… they went from a GM who couldn’t get the talent to a coach who can’t get talent on the same page and playing together…
as a Packer “owner” I love to see this, but I can’t help but feel for Lion’s fan… after all I’ve been a Packer fan even thru the 70′s and 80′s….

Should have been cut months ago

While watching the game, my first thought when seeing Logan down the ball was that there must be some obscure rule about downing the ball on free kicks. My brain wouldn’t process that a guy who has two jobs on the team, to return kicks and return punts, would just down the ball on the 4 for no reason.

This falls on Schwartz. Logan is trying his best. His best sucks. Schwartz should have recognized this and benched him sooner. He should have been benched after the regular season game against the saints last year for the boneheaded personal foul he committed. Screw the contract extension. Fire Schwartz and bring in Coach Bill Cowher.

I would have cut him the next day, especially after the comments he made.

Logan should have been released about 8 weeks ago. He’s awful. Why is he still on the team?
————————————
You answered your own auestion. It’s because he’s awful and it’s the Lions.

You know the HC is feeling the heat when he scapegoats a returner. The Loins are a lost cause as long as Schwartz is in town. —LOLions.
