There has been more level headed analysis about this and Badgley is historically poor at longer distances. Below 50%. I think that changes things a little.
Good to see Ben Johnson returning - some of the deeper Xs & Os analyses about their scheme has shown what a good OC he is. The Eagles this year are a case study in working to keep OC / DC consistency.
Detroit is like Houston and STARVING for football success. I think Detroit are ahead of us on that curve and I really hope that they make the SB next year.
Ben Johnson supposedly staying with the lions rather than possibly being offered the HC jobs with Seattle and Washington. Liking him more and more, 2nd season he’s prioritised staying where he is rather than taking the bag!
For those in the comments saying this might be his only chance, he’s only 37! If the lions keep doing what they’re doing, he’ll be offered another opportunity - see mcdaniels, josh..
Watched a couple of hot take responses to the lions loss and they still sting, even with a day to reflect. There’s something about the media churn where no player or coach is allowed to grow and fail and get better and rectify issues that may have stopped them from being their best version.
Campbell being suplexed from the top rope for making some decisions in the biggest game of his career so far that they disagree with/ may not have been the best choices. But fuck me he was the head coach of a 3-13-1 team two seasons ago. How much experience does he have in the playoffs, let alone the conference championship game? How does he gain that experience, how does he learn what works or doesn’t in those big games? By getting his team back to them and not making the same mistake (if they were mistakes in his head ) again.
I haven’t been this invested in a team since the manning colts, when they kept getting bounced from the playoffs, despite having an amazing regular season record.. still hurts that edgerrin James never got to play in a Super Bowl..
