Detroit thanks Mike Zimmer for calling two timeouts in the last few seconds of the game so they could get organized to make the winning touchdown.
Zimmer is a terrible game manager. Spielman and Zimmer are awful at cap management. Time to go. Can’t even gut and rebuild this team because of all the stupid massive contracts.What's worse is coaching decisions is going to cost them this game. It was dumb to go for it on 4th and 1 on your own 20 with a 2 point lead, but the play call was even worse. And the head coach, who has never called a play on either offense or defense prior to this season, took over the play calling duties weeks ago.
I 100% agree the Lions have what could be called barely an NFL team in terms of talent. But coaching has cost them several games this year, and it looks like this will be one more.
Cousins is the key. He has to be gone next year.
I don’t get this thinking. He’s the second rated qb in the league this season so far. Of all the problems, you blame Cousins the most?Cousins is the key. He has to be gone next year.
I wondered that same thing. Full zone coverage dropped into the endzone with no pressure at the goal line or on the receivers. Pitch and catch, no difficulty whatsoever.I like how every DB was at least 2 or 3 yards deep in the endzone. Easy throw and catch

Cousins isn't the one losing these games, full stop. They're the ~10th best offense in the league.I don’t get this thinking. He’s the second rated qb in the league this season so far. Of all the problems, you blame Cousins the most?
It’s typical dumb fan thinking. They are paying Hunter and Barr like a million dollars per snap they are available, Smith a huge salary when he can’t cover anymore, you’ve drafted a bunch of corners in the first round and none of them can play, and you’ve got an offensive line sans Darisaw that looks like they went to an Edina IHOP and found four fat guys to start.I don’t get this thinking.

Yeah, Campbell made some really dumb decisions that kept the Vikings in it.I wasn't talking about Zimmerman; I was talking about Dan Campbell with the Lions. I'm not saying Zimmer doesn't deserve to be fired, because I have no clue - I don't follow the Vikings. But the Lions, if coached competently, potentially wouldn't have even needed to win on the final play of the game.
Yeah you need to at least be in front of the endzone so they can't get a full head of steam and cross easily into the endzone.I wondered that same thing. Full zone coverage dropped into the endzone with no pressure at the goal line or on the receivers. Pitch and catch, no difficulty whatsoever.
