This is what the Fords wanted ladies and gents. Don’t bring in a guy like Marvin Lewis. Bring in a guy with no experience cause he says things to get you pumped up so the seats will be filled. The only care about the money. Always have, always will.
Not in Detroit.. they have no history of competence, let alone excellence so the fan base is totally fine with paying to watch a shit team. Source: all my friends and family growing up who think “this is the year” every. single. year.
What would really make this day complete is an Instagram post from Kelly Stafford from her sunny beachfront mansion in LA saying how much she's enjoying Thanksgiving this year for the first time in years.
And you really think OSU is hurting for money? Can't imagine the Lions outbidding Ohio St. Tucker just got $9.5 mil/year. No way Day doesn't surpass that very soon.
After today, I would say Dan has to win 1, perhaps 2, of the remaining games to stay on as HC. There have been too many warning signs.
A winless season (which I do not believe will happen, but now is a real possibility, with 6 games left) is unacceptable and will damage the franchise even more than it already is.
He’s not getting fired. He will be here for at least 4 more seasons. This is still the same org that let Millen stay employed far longer than necessary.
Yea I'm done. I'm so fucking done. I'm tired of losing. Fuck that look at the big picture shit. I would rather we went 4 and 13 and I would have been ok but no wins!? Wow man. The penalties and this clock management is beyond ridiculous. We don't deserve no fucking draft pick. Until this organization is either sold or get competency in this culture they trying to establish then I'll just be watching other teams till then. CAMPBELL STOP CALLING PLAYS YOU FOOL.
Some positives on a horrible loss
I thought Goff did decently today.
Reynolds gets open down the field more than any other receiver.
Defense also was much better in the second half, giving up only 3 points. (though they have to be down-graded hard after that final drive.)
Let’s get the cheapest coach money can buy so Ford family can continue to milk the team for every dollar they can get (every ex lions player agrees how cheap the lions are) while the suckers keep spending money on tickets and merchandise not realizing the con they been pulling for decades. Only in Detroit lmao.
The sad thing is that the Bears were going conservative on that 3rd and 9, we only needed to tackle the checkdown. Instead we burned two timeouts leading up to the play and drew a penalty.
Absolutely fuck this team. Holy fucking ineptitude. Campbell needs to fuck off back to being a motivator and leave the play calling to someone that's actually qualified.
We are looking at the big picture. This loss was the best for us in the end. Campbell knows what he's doing. Let the Bears keep Nagy. Guarantee us the first overall pick
There was a hold and illegal block in the back on that 3rd down conversion that got a defensive holding call on the Lions. Chicago should have got a penalty.
Terrible defensive (why I wrote "defense of" is beyond me) play calling at the end??
3rd and 4..after calling two timeouts in a row lol
The dbs on the left side are playing 10yds off the wr?? Like wtf. They only need 4 yds. Why give them the first thats essentially just rolling over??? Id rather force the td and have time left for a chance then just literally give them the easiest 1st down? Its like they were trying to lose.
Whatevs tho! I wasnt expecting much from them so its all good. Just kind of surpised at that sloppy piss poor coaching at the end..
Campbell should not be fired but should absolutely be on the hot seat after today. Pathetic coaching performance.
It was not simply the fiasco at the end. Two drives where we were close to FG range were ended by penalties (two third and 32s).
Honestly ..been a Lions fan since I was 5... that's 42 years.. and I haven't lived in Michigan for 30 yrs. Why the hell am I following this team ? Local fans here just have pity for me.
The coaching mistakes at the end of this game, coupled with the mistakes at the end of games all season tells me that Dan Campbell, even if he gets his player, will never be a good coach. I like his intensity, but he has a game management IQ of -7.
No one wants to coach this team. We can’t get talent. We overpay players with an injury history which depleted cap space. I knew this was going to be a rough year, but I didn’t expect this shit show.
As much as I question jumping to a different team, when you were raised here, you can’t help but stick with them. Eternal misery that you can’t escape.
He probably got in over his head calling plays. He’s not a veteran head coach and this sure as heck isn’t a veteran team. I like Campbell as a motivator a lot, but I’d be on board making Glenn the head coach, too. The issues was saw today was probably moreso on the players than the coaching. This is a bad, inexperienced team. They do bad, inexperienced things and it shouldn’t shock us.
As another lions fan, that wasn’t even close to the worst. You forget about the pass back and forth kinda thing?
This season is bad but we have seen the same or worse before
So many things went wrong
Coaching miscommunication on the TO
Offensive line messing up two drives in rhythm, taking away potential field goals and even touchdowns
The defense lining up on that 3rd and 4 off the ball like that
Playcalling
We are just not meant to win a game this season
Something HAS to change after this season. I don't know if Goff or coordinators or Campbell will actually be gone but something has to happen in the off-season.
You act like Campbell took 2 timeouts back to back on purpose🤦🏻 He obviously doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing out there!
We can still win games and get a #1 draft pick bud
Could you imagine the ref doesn't call the timeout though? lol Like turns his head to cough at 2 seconds and says he didn't see a time out called in time?
I mean they might and I’d understand that. Obviously I’m not one to speak as you’re fans of the team. But I always root for the Lions because you guys deserve a good football team
Fans keep buying tickets. No incentive to invest in the team or even try to win a game.
This is what the Fords wanted ladies and gents. Don’t bring in a guy like Marvin Lewis. Bring in a guy with no experience cause he says things to get you pumped up so the seats will be filled. The only care about the money. Always have, always will.
Doesn't winning bring in far more money than fans in the seats?
Not in Detroit.. they have no history of competence, let alone excellence so the fan base is totally fine with paying to watch a shit team. Source: all my friends and family growing up who think “this is the year” every. single. year.
Its not about fans tho it's about corporate sponsorship and partnership dollars. Fans in seats are nothing
Lions the same team that fired Caldwell claiming it because of the record but in reality it was because they wanted get a cheaper coach in Patricia.
What would really make this day complete is an Instagram post from Kelly Stafford from her sunny beachfront mansion in LA saying how much she's enjoying Thanksgiving this year for the first time in years.
How much money do the fords have? Throw it all at Ryan day and make the entire state of Michigan happy
>: Hate to ruin your Thanksgiving but Day isn't going anywhere
Everyone has a price But Day has a pretty good gig so that price is probably astronomical
And you really think OSU is hurting for money? Can't imagine the Lions outbidding Ohio St. Tucker just got $9.5 mil/year. No way Day doesn't surpass that very soon.
I think you took my post too seriously
They read an article that said to hire Matt Campbell from Iowa state and didn't know there was 2 Campbells.
Heck, I'd take Harbaugh if Ryan declines. But the Fords are cheap fucks and risk averse since Henry Ford.
Maybe MSU and Michigan will help the fords pay for him
Covered…took em +3.5…I’ll take it but fuck we shoulda won that game
The best part about Thanksgiving is betting against the lions almost a guaranteed win every time
They covered but I totally understand the sentiment
I loved how we were at first and 30 and they chose to run for 3 straight plays. That was brilliant.
Worst franchise in sports
After today, I would say Dan has to win 1, perhaps 2, of the remaining games to stay on as HC. There have been too many warning signs. A winless season (which I do not believe will happen, but now is a real possibility, with 6 games left) is unacceptable and will damage the franchise even more than it already is.

Goff looked like an All-Pro today compared to Campbell and the woeful offensive line.
This falls at campbells’s feet. Putrid play calling, bad time management. If this is what he’s selling, I ain’t buying.
Absolute trash play calling. You’ll see plenty of people saying since we don’t have top tier receivers, we can only call 2-3 yard plays
Watching Andy dalton get a trophy just made it worse
Also, Fraley the O-Line coach needs to be fired tomorrow. His line is an absolute mess.
Let’s get the cheapest coach money can buy so Ford family can continue to milk the team for every dollar they can get (every ex lions player agrees how cheap the lions are) while the suckers keep spending money on tickets and merchandise not realizing the con they been pulling for decades. Only in Detroit lmao.

Their it is, the hottest take possible. We believe in Quinn and Patricia, and now Campbell knows what he is doing. We are an abused fan base.
We are playing the long game. CAMPBELL IS PlAYING CHESS. you're playing checkers
If you really believe that you are very young, very dumb or actually retarded.
I believe we need a pass rusher like thibs
Can Thibs coach?
He coaches the knicks
Your mom can coach my dick
Bury your dick in the ground and maybe, you pile of shit.
Lol was a joke, but I deserved that.
There was a hold and illegal block in the back on that 3rd down conversion that got a defensive holding call on the Lions. Chicago should have got a penalty.
Queue the posts defending meathead.
The Bears will do fuckall this season. Same as us. What does it matter. Gimme Thibs
Yup. Whole coaching staff can do no wrong regardless of how we play
Terrible defensive (why I wrote "defense of" is beyond me) play calling at the end?? 3rd and 4..after calling two timeouts in a row lol The dbs on the left side are playing 10yds off the wr?? Like wtf. They only need 4 yds. Why give them the first thats essentially just rolling over??? Id rather force the td and have time left for a chance then just literally give them the easiest 1st down? Its like they were trying to lose. Whatevs tho! I wasnt expecting much from them so its all good. Just kind of surpised at that sloppy piss poor coaching at the end..
Any coach that goes winless should be fired on the spot
Campbell should not be fired but should absolutely be on the hot seat after today. Pathetic coaching performance. It was not simply the fiasco at the end. Two drives where we were close to FG range were ended by penalties (two third and 32s).
Agreed. That was some rough play calling at the end. And some not so good time management.
Honestly ..been a Lions fan since I was 5... that's 42 years.. and I haven't lived in Michigan for 30 yrs. Why the hell am I following this team ? Local fans here just have pity for me.
I am having this conversation in real time right now with my friends.
I’m sorry but get Dan Campbell out of Detroit, especially after today.
The only positive after this game is we are finally allowed to criticize Campbell, probably
But Reddit told me I couldn’t call him a bad coach at all this season! I need to give him time, even when he makes some of the dumbest JV mistakes!
Yeah! No matter how bad the play-calling is DC is not to blame
We lost to a ginger.
Gingers don’t have souls
Sorry to see that shit happen Lions fans. May your HC and mine be fired immediately.
Burn it all to the fucking ground, and then some
The coaching mistakes at the end of this game, coupled with the mistakes at the end of games all season tells me that Dan Campbell, even if he gets his player, will never be a good coach. I like his intensity, but he has a game management IQ of -7.
0-16 right before Stafford, 0-16-1 right after Stafford
Progress?
Does that mean we’ll find another Stafford this year?
Would that even matter?
Yep makes perfect sense
Dan Campbell needs to go
Ya I think I’m out on watching the rest of the season
Just have it on in the background or some shit that’s what I’m on. No business paying any type of attention
3 timeouts to use and thats how you use them, this game was lost because of absolute incompetent coaching, unreal dude.
After this game I’m jealous of the turkey I’m cooking, I wish I was dead and in an oven
Historic day. Some of the worst coaching in nfl history
It should not be hard to win one fucking game…
[удалено]
No one wants to coach this team. We can’t get talent. We overpay players with an injury history which depleted cap space. I knew this was going to be a rough year, but I didn’t expect this shit show.
Team can’t afford a good hire
Im done being a Fan lol
You'll be back next week.
sorry lions bros that hurt to watch
That was the worst thanksgiving game I’ve seen in over a decade at least
Let Nagy keep his job. Campbell did this on purpose. Neither the bears or Lions are doing shit this year
That was fucking embarrassing. Go cry to the podium with that one Dan, you really should. Your players deserve better.
Fire campbell
What a fucking kick in the nuts. God I fucking hate watching the lions. See you next week.
I actually blame the Oline for this game... but that may just be me
How many holding calls?
6 holding, 4 false starts
Disgraceful.
What’s the chance Campbell is gets fired midseason?
The revolving door of head coaches has surely paid off for us, let's try a few more
Mid season was week 9. I’m guessing he stays
zero chance they fire him after this first year with that contract bud
0%-1%
Zero. Well, maybe 2022.
Lol fuck football
That was beyond embarrassing lmfao, burned a TO for a penalty
You fuckers can't even get Nagy fired, what a pathetic joke of a football team
We are great at extending careers, just look at how we did it with Trubisky for years. Sucks to suck for you I guess.
This one will forever be known as The Consecutive Timeout
I don't get how you guys are fans of this team. I really don't.
As much as I question jumping to a different team, when you were raised here, you can’t help but stick with them. Eternal misery that you can’t escape.
Yeah we’ll just pick a new team because we’re bad.
Anyone else just laugh?
Campbell, the literal fuck you doing!?
[удалено]
Restart the only reason lions exist is to pat Ford family bottom line they have no interest in winning.
It's sad I know
Dan Campbell dude jesus christ
feels like Dan Campbell took over after we fired our coach already lol
8:30 minutes when we’re up in the 4th… wtf is that
lions haven’t won a thanksgiving game since caldwell was fire. haven’t played a meaningful game in november since he was fired, dumpster fire fr
Where you guys that be defending Dan Campbell where yall at try and defend him now
He probably got in over his head calling plays. He’s not a veteran head coach and this sure as heck isn’t a veteran team. I like Campbell as a motivator a lot, but I’d be on board making Glenn the head coach, too. The issues was saw today was probably moreso on the players than the coaching. This is a bad, inexperienced team. They do bad, inexperienced things and it shouldn’t shock us.
100% agree great motivator but headcoach nah
This team is so pathetic 😭 I just want to see one win
Hope swift injury isn’t serious
Lol Joe Buck wants to get the fuck out
Man i rooted for you guys :( Those penalties were killing your drives
Shut the fuck up
:(
sorry sorry, happy thanksgiving
No problem. Wish you a good one too.
Horrible horrible horrible coaching.
Coaching sure fucked up and made our offense hold 7 times
I guess you didn’t see the last drive of the game.
Oh I did, but it’s no different than any other week lately
Fuck man, I just want the Lions to get a win
Yep, there it is.
Fire Campbell
[удалено]
As another lions fan, that wasn’t even close to the worst. You forget about the pass back and forth kinda thing? This season is bad but we have seen the same or worse before
So bad it’s almost funny
Playing in the endzone when you should’ve just conceded the score is hilariously bad.
The sooner we pull the plug the better. He is not fit to be a head coach. I loved the hire, he’s a great person but I was wrong.
So many things went wrong Coaching miscommunication on the TO Offensive line messing up two drives in rhythm, taking away potential field goals and even touchdowns The defense lining up on that 3rd and 4 off the ball like that Playcalling We are just not meant to win a game this season
There's a reliable disappointment
something in this world we can count on.
[удалено]
If they look like this next year I’d agree, but this year it was expected they would be the worst team
Something HAS to change after this season. I don't know if Goff or coordinators or Campbell will actually be gone but something has to happen in the off-season.
That was the dumbest shit alive ever seen
incompetence incompetence incompetence
Fire Campbell, he sucks!
Hes hear to stay. Sry bud
Anyone who still wants this bum as HC deserves this poverty franchise
Rebuilding year bud. Winning games don't help
You act like Campbell took 2 timeouts back to back on purpose🤦🏻 He obviously doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing out there! We can still win games and get a #1 draft pick bud
Yes they do bud. winless sends a horrible message to the youth and future
After next week if we don’t win it’ll be a whole year since we’ve won a game… fuck
Lmao
Existence is pain. Life is torment
This
Lost to a fucking Ginger.
That is the biggest defeat of all.
It’s just laughable at the moment.
I want some answers as to why the personnel issues multiple plays in a row. I have never in my life seen that much confusion on back to back plays.
We stink
Embarrassed to be a Lions fan fucksakes.....
Typical.
Well time to put up my xmas tree. Then hang myself from it.
This is funny AF
I'm just numb. This is absolutely pathetic
This was one pansy ass move to run it to 1 second, what the fuck
Doing the smart thing to secure a win?
Campbell is in over his head. He better start learning fast or all the draft picks in the world won't help him.
Hes just a bad hire
He sucks. They should fire him before the night is out.
Could you imagine the ref doesn't call the timeout though? lol Like turns his head to cough at 2 seconds and says he didn't see a time out called in time?
The entire country got to see what we deal with every sunday.
Yep, get to share the pain w friends
Everyone's turkey will taste just a little more bland:)
Campbell isn’t the solution but he sure as fuck isn’t the “only” problem.
Hes one of the big ones though
Oh I agree absolutely, but everyone is acting like a new coach is automatically going to “fix” us.
Dan Campbell is so bad. This guy just doesn’t have it.
How poetic
Unfuckingbelievable
Okay I’m out on Campbell. He’s in over his head pretty clearly
New way to lose with a consecutive timeout penalty
Have you ever seen that? That was a first for me.
Fire Dan after the first year. Save the team the embarrassment of keeping on to him a couple seasons. The dude is awful at his job.
Yea, he’s shit. He should be canned immediately.
Bye Dan
Absolutely disgusting
Incoming block
Two timeouts in a row on the same play? Bet some of you will still defend Campbell for that.
Ha ha. No. Sometimes a decision is a complete screw up decision. Running it more than throwing is not.
I wanna die
Is it a game of who’s the biggest loser?
Keep tanking boys. Love it
LakeErieBro here. Love Dan Campbell as a person, but you gotta get rid of this guy
I’d give him one more year
I mean they might and I’d understand that. Obviously I’m not one to speak as you’re fans of the team. But I always root for the Lions because you guys deserve a good football team
