lions lose to a terrible team with nothing to play for while the season is on the line for his team. the result is telling.
December 22nd, 2013 at 7:42 PM ^

Dantonio. He's a total jackass, but there's a distressing lack of Sparty, No! Which is what plagues this franchise.
Plus, gets him out of East Lansing. Win-win!

Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye Schwartz

Giant(HAHA) choke job. Lions need to go after O'Brian at PSU.
December 22nd, 2013 at 7:45 PM ^

Bring back Fontes. At least when his career was on the line, the Lions seemed to play well.
Schwartz basically rode a hot start to one season over 5 years to the playoffs, and it is time for him to go.

If anyone wants to know why you take a knee a la MJD when you're at the goal line and can run out the clock in a tie game, the Steelers are offering a master class here.

Get brian kelly instead of BOB lol history repeats itself for 3 years..atleast we can see purple explosion face every week..yeah..we need to get a good guy, good morals like BOB...not some up and coming guy..fuck that..

i think the lions have made strides the last few years in getting good player personnel. that said, how much influence does schwartz have in making the draft picks, etc. 20%; 50% or more? i'm hoping that axing him will have zero negative impact.
December 22nd, 2013 at 7:56 PM ^
in over a decade when they added Xander? I have more faith in the front office now with the additions they have made. This is a playoff-caliber roster. Coaching and player development(Stafford) are the issues that need to be addressed.
December 22nd, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Of fucking course.
December 22nd, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
I hate this team so much.
December 22nd, 2013 at 8:03 PM ^
and being a long-time Lions observer I'm not remotely surprised by the outcome.
When I look at the stats I see Johnson only had 3 receptions. Is he hurt or just triple-covered all game?

The Pack lost. What do the Lions do? Lose. Splendid.

We now have just one example to fill the "evidence base" concerning the Detroit Lions. They are one of the very few teams to have a dominant divisional record yet be out of contention for the division. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/standings/
Different coaches, different players (some truly great), different GMs and different executives and yet the results are largely the same - flickers of hope admist a thick gloom of mediocrity. When this happens in other sports it is clear that there is a curse bedeviling the team and only a full blown exorcism will get the team to the next level.
Barry Sanders may turn out in retrospect to the most insightful of the recent Lions - he saw only years of the same old SOL (same-old-Lions) and was able to run and walk from the game.
