Is it time for Mike Tomlin to step aside?

He at the very least gives your culture some legitimacy.

I don't think Detroit is going to move on from Campbell, IMHO.

Well, as of right now he’s 4-17-1 since taking over. I’m not seeing too many more wins on the schedule this year either although they’ve played tough in most of their games. Let’s say they go 3-14 or something, I don’t see how you keep a coach who wins 6 games in 2 years. Although, they are the Lions I suppose.

It's more so of repairing the culture which was badly needed in Detroit when Campbell arrived. Their roster was completely gutted a year ago, and Detroit has made a very clear effort to fill those spots with young, developmental pieces who are still learning through mistakes.

I should note that their offense is pretty good. They are 8th in the NFL on Rushing Yards per game, 7th in the NFL on Passing Yards per game, and 3rd in the NFL at Points per game. At this stage, they are still investing in developing their youth and they're trying to weather the injury storms.

Their biggest issue is their defense as they're giving up 34 points per game. That is last in the NFL. If they have a middle of the pack scoring defense, their record would have been better than 1-4.

I think Detroit will finish with 6 wins.

And just like that @Wisconsin_Chief, Lions has hit the 6-win barrier. I had them going 6, so at least I got that nailed, with 4 games left to play.

Yeah, they look damn impressive. I’m honestly happy for their fans and for Jared Goff. They legitimately looked like a better team than Minnesota today. They play their asses off, too.

They’ll far surpass that 6 win total. I’ll be shocked if they don’t finish at least 9-8.

Agreed. They had a rough beginning, no doubt. But they definitely look the part of a legitimate wild-card contender.

The hilarious irony is that Detroit may have gotten good enough to not even attempt to upgrade the QB position. Having a team this good and betting the farm on Goff to take you far seems like the Lionsiest of moves.
