[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1046863, member: 7261"] I figured there would be a lot of negatives here and people wanting to blame this player or that coach or...... The bottom line is this. The Packers made way too many mistakes yesterday to win games. Statistically, the offense played really well, but big mistakes cost them a ton of points. I don't even think the defense played all that bad. 7 of the Lions points were off the pick 6. Where the defense played poorly was untimely penalties and forcing zero turnovers in a wet, windy game. Layer that with Ben Johnson knew exactly how to extract needed yards to keep drives going and the Lions offense did enough to win the game. I posted this in another thread, but yesterday triggered one thing in me that has been brewing for a long time. Lions OC Ben Johnson absolutely schooled the Packers defense and totally showed me why MLF needs to give up play calling and bring in a skilled and proven OC that can do it in 2025. I used to blame Adam Stenavich for poor calls, but I am now pretty sure it is MLF calling all the plays. Don't get me wrong, I think MLF has a brilliant football mind, but I'd prefer a separate coach calling the offensive plays. I think MLF has gotten a bit predictable, not all that creative and doesn't make a lot of in game adjustments. When a defense is shutting you down on swing passes or runs up the middle, figure it out, go to something else. So much going on in the game of football, I just think a HC should manage the game and not worry about managing the calls on offense. [/QUOTE]
