There has been a lot of bad luck in this Lions season: Mounting injuries, some bad bounces, near misses and much more bad calls - plus surprisingly good plays from the respective opponents. However, I get the impression that the coaching becomes less helpful for the Lions from game to game.
The Lions were right to fire Quinn and Patricia. It is okay to finish at the bottom of the league this season. But is it just me or has any potential progress stalled?

What little I've seen of Campbell et al has not impressed me. He sucks, I knew Patricia sucked with that first game against the Jets, so both will run past their expiration date.
'member when Caldwell wasn't it? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
They targeted Hockinson 3 times the entire game...3 receptions, 1 TD. They dinked and dunked with screen passes much of the 2nd quarter that I watched, and running up the middle on 3-32 should get them fired into the Sun, or at least out of a cannon. When they did get something going, they shot themselves in the foot with terrible game management.
And the players kept taking stupid penalties, which lead to being in the hole with something like that 3-32, but both the players and coaches should've worked out those fundamentals in practice.
The team will languish forever, as long as they're owned by the Fords. The rest is either window dressing or rearraigning deck chairs on the Titanic. Even the Ilitches know when they're over their head, and got hockey/baseball people.
I don't even like football that much, I only follow more or less, because them being the local NFL team growing up...but it's becoming no longer comically funny. It's just sad.
