[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 527180, member: 5535"] The Lions should have scored 50 points in this game, but 4 turnovers kept it on the short side of an embarrassing loss. There comes a point where you have to recognize that the players aren't giving it and that they aren't tuned into their coaches anymore. Despite all the protests by players, you can just sense that this is what has happened on this team. This game may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Under those circumstances you must make a change, and little cosmetic changes won't do. The direction of the team for the last 5 years has to be "evaluated" as MM loves to say, and a different direction has to be taken. That means a major shakeup in the coaching staff, it means hiring someone from the outside rather than promoting everyone from inside the organization, and it means some players get the boot. Capers and Slocum IMO top the list of those who have to go, but I see no reason why Clements should be kept and FFS, McCarthy has to step down as the play-caller for this offense. He is not only practicable, but his calls sometimes just don't make sense. He shows an inability to change during the course of the game or an unwillingness to do so. As for players, take Raji's 8 mil contract off the table. Let someone else sign him for that amount if he's lucky enough to get it. He disappears for long stretches of time. He's done next to nothing over the last 5 weeks. TWilliams should get maybe half of what he's getting now and that's generous. I still have my doubts that TT or McCarthy are capable making major changes. They are guided by their "philosophy" of next man up, draft and develop, and promote from within. It ain't working.
