Why the Lions offense sucks in one quote.

After the game Matt Stafford revealed a stunning comment from our coach. During halftime, Caldwell told him if he threw another interception he was going to be benched.

No seriously, Caldwell said that, to the QB he was supposed to "fix". The QB that had over 5000 yards, 41 tds with 16 ints in a season before, Caldwell told the QB he was hired to fix, if you throw another int, you will be benched.

Caldwell told him "be captain check down" or you are benched.



That is this offense's problem. Caldwell is the most conservative coach I can remember watching in Detroit and this flaw is turning into a team wide flaw. Spreading like a virus, infecting every coach and player on the team. The water boy now fills the cups only half way, just in case.

What kind of coach, down 21 points at halftime tells his big armed QB who has an uncanny ability to play his best football late in games, check down and play it safe or I am going to bench you? This is what happens when conservative coaches fail, they recede deeper into their conservative shell. Making ever more conservative decisions and it almost never works. That is our Lions offense.

The Lions need to clean house from Mayillen and Lewand down to the water boy so they can finally clean the stench of the mustachio'd moron and get an honest true new start. That didn't happen after the last GM was fired. We just got Millen jr.

It needs to happen now. 7 years too late.
