giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Building on my theme from last week. They are awful. If they win 4 or 5 games this season does Schwartz get canned? It is a joke how this team plays. They have pretty much said the heck with what worked for us last season, let's do a complete 180. Let's become a slow it down. Run the ball. Dink and dunk team. Start the 2nd half. 15 yard completed pass. Okay let's get some hurry up going. Let's put some pressure on the Minny D. NOPE slow it down. Under C. Run for 0 yards. Drive slows. Then they allow ANOTHER return TD. Simply comical. This team is a joke. The coaches have no clue, so I doubt it changes. They need to be what they are. And they are NOT playing that way this season. Crazy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 yeah, they are playing bad . . . and now they are punting with fourth and one on the Vikings 40 down 14 points . . . Calvin Johnson dropped a TD pass and the Pettigrew did as well in their last red zone visit . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 3rd and 1 let's run LeShoure right into the line. And then we'll punt. Funny. At least they went to some no huddle. That is how they need to play. Play to your strengths man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Johnson dropped a TD pass and the Pettigrew did as well in their last red zone visit . . . I saw those plays. BOTH of those catches need to be made. My biggest issue with the Lions is how they are playing. I said it last week as well. Almost like last season never happened. They are playing the opposite of how they need to play IMO. That is what makes me laugh and say that coaching staff is amoungst the worst in the league IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 This fascination with LeShoure NEEDS to stop. They are running way too much on 1st down. They act like LeShoure is Sanders. Crazy stuff. Not sure how to explain it other than to say nw toy and the coaches are blinded and getting away from their style of play.

Joebirds55 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 He's killing me today. I def think he's a legit rb but agree he shouldn't change their offense completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 They are doing everyone a dis-service by playing this way. Hurts ALL the offensive weapons. I said it last week, you want to have some run sprinkled in, but to change your whole style of play for LeShoure is ridiculous. But when you have an AWFUL coaching staff this is what you get. Let's get away from the gun and spread it out. Instead let's slow down, huddle up, and run more. Just stupid when the team was not built for that style of play. My guess is Schwartz gets next season no matter wat, but if they go 4-12 does he really deserve it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 It's not just the play calling but how undisciplined they are. 2 specials teams scores. Smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Vikings are just running, running, running the ball . . . and having success with it. Marched all the way down the field and missed a FG. Edited September 30, 2012 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Team is a mess. When I said last week deal all your Detroit passing options I stand by it. Just a disaster there. Coaches are a joke. Players playing awful football. Mistakes all over the field. Just disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you expect? That he'd get 26 carries again? That he'd improve the 3.8 yards per carry he put up against a woeful TEN defense?

Joebirds55 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Not at all. But more than 29 rushing yards and maybe a goal line score shouldn't be out of the question...he has 5 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Don't worry though, the Lions coaching staff will make sure they keep giving him the ball, so he is someone I would trade for. Trade away your passing options. Trade for LeShoure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Once again once they go back to the gun and hurry up they move the ball and do much better. Now some can say that is because the D allows them more room/chances, and I am sure some of that is true, but I also have no doubt how the Lions have to play. Either they play their style of game, gun/hurry up/go down the field, or they will win 4 games this season. That simple to me. If I was a Lions fan I would be rooting for Schwartz to some how get fired. He is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
