Lombardi was definitely expected to be good, but the awful truth became completely clear around the Cardinals game last year.

There are 28 running backs with more rushing yards than the Lions so far. :negative:

Lombardi lol no, people were making these same negative comments about him last year, maybe even at this same point in the season.

There was some real offensive flair in game 1 against the Giants last year. It was like everyone was comfortable. CJJ got injured pretty shortly after, and Golden Tate was hot for 6ish games. Then Johnson came back, and it was like the offense fell apart.

Week 7ish of last season is the earliest complaint I could find.

Most fans here were upset with his hiring and have never embraced him. Look at the times he tried to cost us games, like that Atlanta game in London. He is what he is and is at his best when he's got great coordinators beneath him. The sooner he rids himself of Joe Lombardi the better.

Imagine what Barry Sanders career could have been if two of his top o-linemen weren't paralyzed/killed in the same season. 23 years old, he rushes for 1,548 yards. The Detroit Lions go to the NFC Championship game. And he has 26 year old and 25 year old starting offensive guards playing at a high level.

At the start of the next season one of them is paralyzed from the chest down and the other is dead.

reporter: How does it feel to no longer be winless?

Caldwell: I try not to get too emotional about things. I perspired a little higher than the satisfactory amount for a humanoid, and required two moist towelettes to contain it. The players approached me with a cooler of water, but I told them to act like they've been there before. They gave me a very strange look that I couldn't read. The humanoid face is hard to interpret. I just take it two eyes at a time.

Once I questioned whether or not Caldwell has autism and then I reconsidered when I realized that nothing about him rocks.

This clearly makes his death the Lion's fault if they were paying him so little that he could not afford a service to take care of his yard.

What really annoys me about the game Sunday is Caldwell making the terrible call with around two and a half minutes left to kick a field goal when down 7. That is the objectively wrong call, and it should have gotten his team beat. But because he was coaching against John 'runrunrunpunt' Fox, he not only got away with it, but got to look like a genius to all the meatball idiots who defend spineless decision making by pointing at outcomes. You could even say Fox let him off 'em the hook.

I'm not a Lions fan, but I'm angry about Jim Caldwell.
