this guy was a defensive coach, team has quit on him
First game doesn’t mean the season is lost, but that’s five straight they have looked unprepared to compete on both sides of the ball.Preseason games don’t mean anything, but it’s kind of hard to ignore they have looked woefully unprepared four straight.
4 seasons under Caldwell – 3 winning seasons – 2 playoff appearancesCaldwell 2 out of 3 years made the playoffs. Let’s replace him with pencil behind ear guy with beard and see if we can do better. No offense to pencils or beards. We had some positive momentum for a few years but it looks like we are back to the laughing stock category. I told myself if we lose to the Jets that I would not watch another Lions game this year. Just freed up a lot more time for activities.
well got ya the pick 6 and a couple of sacks, but that defense is awful.....Starting with confidence.
He was the only good thing out there for them. Truly horrific effort otherwise.Kenny golladay was the one player who looked like he belonged on the field. He was awesome, way more than a deep threat one trick pony. And the strip/fumble recovery was a turning point in the....well it was good effort.
This is what I was thinking. And it’s the first game of the season and of a coaching tenure.this guy was a defensive coach, team has quit on him
I mean we all saw how horrible his defense was last year- cost the Patriots a Super Bowl as they let Nick Foles play like John Elway out there.This is what I was thinking. And it’s the first game of the season and of a coaching tenure.
Doesn't strike ya as the kind of guy who would get in a players grill, right?Stafford was having a meltdown but every time they showed Patricia on the sideline, he was just speaking into his headphones. I didn't see him speaking to any of the players last night. Maybe I just missed it?
dude there wasn't a single player within 5 yards of him on the sidelines.....the pats way only works in New England, its all smoke n mirrors and voodoo it cannot be replicated....Stafford was having a meltdown but every time they showed Patricia on the sideline, he was just speaking into his headphones.

we didHopefully they are as embarrassed as the fans are and get some fire. The ginger kid in the lions jersey holding a “go jets” sign will get some run on sports center today. I hate it when fans leave early, but every person in that place should have gotten up and walked out at the end of the third.
By every metric on planet Earth he is a better coach than Patricia.people were yelling we need Caldwell!!! LOL
Everytime they showed on the sidelines he looked he was going to start crying.dude there wasn't a single player within 5 yards of him on the sidelines.....the pats way only works in New England, its all smoke n mirrors and voodoo it cannot be replicated....
Right and I thought it wasn't so much 3/4 or 4/3 as a D that played multiple fronts. Apparently Ashawn Robinson isn't a good fit for any of these schemes. SMHI don't get this they are converting from 4/3 to 3/4 BS, isn't the great trait of new England that you conform you scheme to the players you have? isn't that would good coaches do? Im unimpressed.....you don't snap your fingers and convert....wasn't mike tomlin a tampa 2 guy and he went to Pittsburgh and guess what? they stayed with the 3/4 blitz style approach.....
stupid bullheadedness...….also shows why making Quinn keep a HC he don't want, is beyond stupid......let a GM and coach start fresh. personnel decisions matterRight and I thought it wasn't so much 3/4 or 4/3 as a D that played multiple fronts. Apparently Ashawn Robinson isn't a good fit for any of these schemes. SMH
oooof.Jets D players are saying DET was tipping its plays by its formations and hand signals. lol
THIS is how I was feeling about some of the preseason games as well....and it just multiplied in last nights debacle. Whether it was Patricia worked/ran them too hard OR if it is something internal that Q Public doesn't know about (yet)...it really feels as if the team either quit or is not intent on playing hard for this coaching staff.The lack of will was the most concerning thing about last nights game. Seemed like the the players gave up.
Thats all on jim bob cooter....league has figured out their playbook....he gets canned by halloweenoooof.
Are we allowed to nickname people anymore? if so, I'll go with Matt Patricia as Patty Melt. What a meltdown.
I know nothing about Patricia....Caldwell was a horrible game manager but Patricia might make people remember Caldwell in a fonder light. 9-7 and missing the playoffs looks good about now.By every metric on planet Earth he is a better coach than Patricia.
Nah.Stafford, Bradford, and Eli. The 3 most overhyped QBs of the last 5 years. Eli won with solid coaching and personnel around him a few years ago. Without it we clearly see he was no more than a game manager. Bradford has somehow played his injuries and weak arm into making more money...go figure that out. And Stafford without Calvin Johnson is terrible. TERRIBLE.
Gotta remember that one for when my state gets a legal sportsbook.Seven new HCs in the NFL this year. They’re 0-7 rn.
Stafford has played really well the last 2 seasons, what are you talking about?Stafford, Bradford, and Eli. The 3 most overhyped QBs of the last 5 years.

Based on the reports, the Jets said they knew what every play was. They said the Detroit formations and calls at the line were somthing they picked up on tape in prep. They literally said every play they were yelling to each other what play it was then they could just sit back and wait on the routes.I know nothing about Patricia....Caldwell was a horrible game manager but Patricia might make people remember Caldwell in a fonder light. 9-7 and missing the playoffs looks good about now.
A bigger concern is Stafford. This is his 10th season and he could not have looked worse last night.
And our 3rd year 2nd round DT who seemed like a pretty good young player was a healthy scratch.I never liked the hire to begin with. I am blaming Quinn from here on out.
1st year in, you kept Caldwell. Probably because of Martha, but still......no new GM keeps his coach.
Drafts have been questionable. 2nd round CB everyone had as 5th round talent. Guy doesn't even play.
Fire Caldwell after two playoff appearances.
Hire a guy that historically had average, at best, defenses under him. No experience.
Keep the OC. Again.....new coaches bring in their own coordinators.
Trade up for Johnson ahead of Guice and in a deep year for RB's.
Cut Ebron. No excuse for that. At all. Money that was saved was never even used and we don't have a pass catching TE on our roster.
Cut Zettel. What?!? 2nd in sacks and a real hustler on the field. Oh, Ziggy is going to walk after the season leaving us with ZERO pass rush.
We will just rely on Quinn to draft some.
Change to a 3-4 with zero NT worth crap on the roster exposing your undersized middle LB. Davis needs protection. He was exposed last night.
Team is garbage.
he must have pissed matty patty off somehow.....And our 3rd year 2nd round DT who seemed like a pretty good young player was a healthy scratch.
