Disaster!!!!

What a train wreck today was. They lost another one, this time to the Bears 34-7. I'm the Lions fan who always talks about the glass being half full, but enough is enough. This team has regressed every game! Sure they fired Matt Millen, and I'm happy about that, but that doesn't matter on the field. I knew that it wouldn't, but I thought the team would at least play with more energy, and emotion, after the bye week. Rod Marinelli can take the blame all he wants, it sounds like he wants to be fired, but the rest of the coaching staff, and the players have to be held accountable.

Joe Barry and Jim Colletto are pathetic as coordinators. Neither coach has a grasp on what their side of the ball is doing. If they did, and they didn't correct it, they should be fired. Marinelli is going to cover for their short comings, but he has enough of his own, to take theirs. On offense there is so much miscommunication, and mental errors, they can't move the ball consistently. And on defense they make average quarterbacks look like pro bowlers, and running backs look like hall of famers.

Here's what happens every game, I'll paint you a picture. The teams will rip your heart out for 55 minutes, only to show you glimpses in 5 minutes of what kind of players they could be. Take for instance my poster boys for this post, Roy Williams, and Calvin Johnson. At times they make catches that lead you to believe that it's gonna be a mismatch all day long, but then the drops come, or the bad pass patterns. This is all too common. I'm sick and tired of being led to believe that we have an NFL team in Michigan. Get rid of the owner, fire the coaches, and cut the players. A clean slate is what the fans need!
