I think you're nuts. The quick passes are because the o-line can't protect for a long time. Plus, the personnel on the team aren't built for a power running game, so i don't know where you're getting that idea from. I think Linehan has done a good job. As Bill Parcells used to say: Play calling is overrated. Execution is underrated.

I'm surprised anyone is calling for the firing of any coaches. The Lions have been firing coaches for the past decade and it's gotten the team nowhere. If we want to see change, we need consistency in the coaching staff.

Actually, he's not completely off base here TDJ. The Lions aren't taking the shots downfield that they should. You have a fast, big receiver in Calvin who can outjump just about every CB out there. Why are they not taking more shots downfield? The o-line excuse is not exactly correct. It doesn't take Calvin but a couple seconds to get downfield. Throw the ball up with some air. Let Calvin go get it. I am not a fan of Linehan's play calling. He is predictable and not very imaginative.

But, the fact is, our coverage units have SUCKED this entire year. That isn't Linehan's fault. Lord knows we could use some better playcalling on offense, but the special teams coverage has just been awful. Crossman may be respected around the league, but he ain't making no friends in this city.
