Official Lions SNF Thread

Yea yea ok. But nobody can tell me the defense didn't look horrible those first two drives..also that you were not thinking here we go again geting blasted on Sunday night football.

At that point in the game, there is no reason to risk field position on that field goal. Not only has Crosby been struggling, he's a coin flip from 50+ in his career.

I didn't pick against the Packers. I just aired my frustration about that particular situation.

Most kickers are a coin flip beyond 50.

I said it before, winning covers a lot of his deficiencies.

In my opinion, he's not a great coach. Call it an overstatement if you want, but that's the way I feel.

So add that to the fact he's been struggling all year and the field goal decision is not a good one.

Add to the fact that he's steadily working his way out of his slump and it was early in the game and it was good call... a call most any coach would make.

It's good to be in touch with your feelings. Good for you. But the facts out-weigh your feelings. He wins games and he's not going anywhere. Get over it.

@HyponGrey Its just a "prediction". Many threads on this board elliciting these throughout the season. I've picked the Packers to win FAR more than to lose.

@longtimefan I don't typically see the ones critiquing the criticism in the chat box in there from beginning to end. Or at least don't see active comments from beginning to end of game. Maybe that is why some stay away, so they can yell at their TV instead of in the chat room. Hindsight is 20/20. The Packers deserved to be criticized for certain play and playcalling. Many fans are either life long or stock owners and have a HUGE emotional investment in the game and thus need to verbalize their frustrations.

Gladly there isn't a fan card which states no criticism allowed or some fans would be kicked off the train it seems.

Fine. In your opinion the kick attempt was the right thing to do. In mine, it wasn't. I prefer the field position.

I never said "fire McCarthy" so that's great news that "he's not going anywhere". Thanks for being awesome!

Apparently in this forum you can't criticize anybody. Everybody should just log on, say nice things about everybody and end all of their sentences with a smiley face

..........

My sister when she posts to online message boards did just what you mentioned. Ends each of her posts with smilies. It gets kind of annoying. Kind of lost the meaning after awhile.

Just be sure to never say anything bad about anybody Never get upset! Just be happy!

You called him a "bad" coach in this thread and a "terrible" coach in another. It is assumed that most people who consider their coach to be "bad" or "terrible" do not want them to continue to be employed in that position.

You know what they say happens when you assume Adam...

So...you think McCarthy is a bad, terrible coach, but you don't think he should be replaced. Rock on.

He could stay and just stop calling fullback handoffs on 2nd-and-long and having Crosby kick 50+ yarders... #seemseasy #rockonAdam

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That solution might be too easy for some people

I think it's pretty silly logic to say a coach is terrible but then say you never wanted him fired, but that's just me. As far as the decisions themselves, every coach in the NFL has fans who hate their decisions at times. Every one. You're entitled to your opinion though, will just have to agree to disagree.

And IMO, if you're not willing to give your kicker a shot at 3 points from 50 yards most of the time the opportunity presents itself, they probably don't belong on your roster.

I see. So he should get all game day decisions approved by you first. I'll be sure to pass along the memo.

Never said that either.... Keeping being "the coolest guy on the forum" GreenBlood... You are by far the most witty person here... Your family must be proud!
