Dan Campbell

[Direckshun]

I don’t get it.

I ridiculed this hire the second the Lions made it, in part because Bienemy had been interviewing and I was convinced EB was a slam dunk hire.

Instead, Campbell gets hired by the Lions. And it’s very clear to me from his first press conference that he’s a huge dingdong.

He says stupid things. He doesn’t seem to possess a reservoir of intelligence that I can detect. He gave an interview with Pat McAfee where he literally describes himself as being distracted by fans doing the wave.

What is going on? Why has he worked out in Detroit so far? Is this the best con job in America, and it turns out this guy is absolutely a genius?

How the hell has Dan Campbell worked out?

So you're saying he's more Gunther Cunningham than ACTUAL Gunther Cunningham when he coached for the Lions?

Dan Campbell is a modern-day Ben Schwartzwalder in my opinion

I'm not sure what to make of going for it from your 18 yard line on 4th and 3 and then punting from the opponents 40 yard line on 4th and 3. Personally, I would rather the Chiefs just always run their normal offense until they get down close to the goal line. Not sure why they tip their hand and say: We're running a gadget play now...

Where do you think that talent comes from? Campbell has built the team with a tremendous emphasis on the trenches. He is a literal Parcells clone as far as how he wants to build the team and play the game.

I suspect “No.”

Correct. Ben Johnson is the next Brian Daboll.

Great playcaller putting a mediocre coach, in Buffalo's case it was McDermott, on the map.

He gets credit for being lucky enough to play the Chiefs during their worst game.

None of our errors were forced. Zero.

Campbell is a ****tard who had last night's game handed to him on a silver platter.

Or if Toney had the shits and didn't play at all.

They weren't forced because Taylor got away with cheating and holding all night vs. Hutchinson. Finally called at the very last minute.

Hutch still had a major impact.

They had to move his ass inside because he was getting owned by our tackles. GTFO with that bullshit.

lol yep, said the same last night. They went for it on 4th down?! LOL, there's your "Detroit doing Detroit things to lose the game" moment. You dun ****ed up, a-a-ron, NEVER give Patrick Mahomes the ball late in the game with a single score deficit to overcome. The guy will kill you!

And he did. Except our receivers decided not to participate in the killing and rolled over like little bitches, giving the game away.

The draft... it's a lot easier building a team when picking at the top of each round for a decade than the bottom of each round.

IF the game was in Detroit maybe Toney would have had explosive diarrhea all over himself and Moore so they couldn't play.

Excuse me?

Jawaan Taylor became a national punchline overnight for his cheating, false starts and holding that didn't get called. Every national outlet was going on about it today.

No one owns Hutchinson without cheating. Now Taylor has to man up and play it straight next week. Let's see how that goes, buddy.
