I'm really looking forward to seeing how many TFF posters suddenly become Jim Harbaugh fans next year, after hating him for his entire prior NFL career :allears:

Harbaugh has won 70% of his games as an NFL coach. If you think he's bad coach you're a moron.

do you think people would hate him if he were a bad coach?

Some people hate him for his behavior and attitude, so yes. Probably not as stringently, but yes; fans hate a lot of coaches who are objectively bad at coaching.

I wouldn't say "very well coached" they beat a few lovely teams, one good win against the chiefs. and also lost 3-0 to the mediocre vikings. I don't think anything happened during that time to make me think he's for sure a good coach other than that it seems like the vet players on team like him.

To add to this, vet players liking a coach is completely meaningless. Please refer to the NFLPA survey this season, showing all the Cowboys coaches were voted in the top 5.

Am I a doomist for thinking that when the Lions lose Ben Johnson to the Commanders, it will expose Dan Campbell?

Expose him as what? Not every HC has to be a scheme guru, some of them are best at establishing culture and management of the team as a whole.

That's not a bad thing, as long as he does it well. If the team craters after this loss and they collapse next year with constant leaked stories about the locker room and coaches, then yeah, that would do it.

Alex Boone had a good comment about the Lions. All their young players now know how hard they have to work to get there, they'll teach that to the next young guys, and it makes for a great core that can challenge in the playoffs for several years.

I don't think they're emotionless automatons who are able to maintain a perfectly efficient 100% level of intensity and effort for 100% of the time they're on the field, and that things like knowing the overtime strategy as well as potential losing sscenarios could help them put the drive into perspective. have you ever heard of getting "pumped up," it's like that. if they knew the situation, they might play better


yall eggheads really don't understand that it's people playing the game, not robots. have you ever played sports? if so, then how could you not understand this incredibly basic concept that even 6 year olds grasp intuitively


e: but when we get down to it I'm sure that even with a touchdown Kyle wouldn't have gone for 2, so there's a very good chance it wouldn't have mattered in the end. I concede the point with reservations
