RedRamage Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Dan Campbell is now one of only eight Lions coaches who have 30 or more wins. And on a side note if I had a nickel for every Lions head coach who was named Clark I'd have 15 cents... which isn't a lot of it's odd that it's happened three times. 66 - Fontes 53 - Clark, Potsy 53 - Wilson 47 - Parker 43 - Schmidt 43 - Clark, Monte 36 - Caldwell 31 - Campbell Edit to add: These are regular season wins btw. Wanna look at post season? It ain't pretty... 3 - Parker 2 - Wilson 2 - Campbell 1 - Clark 1 - Fontes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe... probably?? Right now Campbell has a .534 winning percentage. If we assuming some leaner years will happen (injuries, retiring stars, whatever), let's say he goes .500 from now until he reaches win number 67. That's 36 more wins plus of course 36 more losses, or 72 more games. 8 more games this season means 64 more after this, or around 4 more years. 4 more years seems doable as a HC. Campbell's certainly not old, but and he definitely seems to have a love for the game so I don't seem him deciding to suddenly hang it up.

Do you wanna know the break down of those losses over the 3.5 years of Campbell? 2021: 7 2022: 3 2023: 2 2024: 0 So the Lions got blown out a bunch when Campbell was first here... since then they've rarely been blown out by a lot. The graphic paints it like if the Lions get down they fall apart... but the reality is that our 2021 team just sucked and since then we're been pretty dang good. I mean if you take out 2021 -- Dan's rookie coaching year (I'm not including his interim gig with the Dolphins), Holmes hasn't really gotten a chance to make over the roster... so not completely unfair to just say 2021 is a lost year and not a good job of the people running the show -- Any, take out 2021... the Lions are 29-14 in the regular season, plus 2-1 in the playoffs. That's pretty damn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted Monday at 09:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:31 PM Watching Bates game winner again and aside from how close it was to hitting the upright the thing that sticks out is just how much distance it had. It was a 52 yarder yet it glanced the flags on the top of the goal posts and finished 3 quarters of the way up on the net. Just an insane leg!

So close to the goalposts, you could see the shadow of the ball. Yeah, he had extra distance but push it back a couple (few) yards and it may have been wide. Still, he kicked that ball 156 feet. Remarkable. And after the game, he deflected the credit to his snapper and holder. The Lions have an answer for a long term kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bend. The 58-yarder, you could see halfway it was going to pass as close to the inside of the bar without hitting it as possible. If there were a candle there, the breeze from the ball would have blown it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewatched it today when I got home, but just the 2nd half. 😆😆 And I agree, the stat is somewhat misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted Tuesday at 02:29 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:29 AM Overlooked in the Lions win were the catches Jaymo made. A few kinda hard catches. One kept a drive going on 3rd down and one he got hammered on. I thought it should have been a personal foul, he got hit so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRamage Posted Tuesday at 03:10 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:10 AM Watching "Calls of the Game" and noticed something interesting... look at the Texans' OL right before the snap at this point in the video: https://youtu.be/ltZdyVSQegs?t=124 Are my eyes deceiving me or are the Texans doing the thing where you're the away team and the guard lets the center know when the QB is ready because it's too loud from the fans for the center to hear?

I wanted them to sign Kendall Fuller so they didn't have to surrender any draft capital and Davis has played better than Fuller so far this year.

KnoxP Posted Wednesday at 03:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:08 PM One thing I just now remembered the feeling of "Oh...ok" I had when I learned that the Texans were pulling out those all red alternates, 'blood red' I think they called them, for the game against us, like extra importance. Now the pure satisfaction of knowing we spoiled that party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
