I said he was a good DC, for some reason you havent been watching the defense the last 5 weeks, now if your idea of a good DC is to never make mistakes then you arent watching the NFL. Since he took over calling the defense it has improved, now if your whole basis of your comment was the last 4 minutes, that was bad but you dont judge coaches on small inserts in a game. He got his HC job because of the defense he coached in Indy ( larger sample size). We were playing the fifth best O in the league in their house and held them to 14 points for 56 minute. For this defense that was a good showing. The great JJ and Jackson blew the coverage on the TD to Williams. Had Getsy made the right choices , the Lions would have never had enough time left for their 2 drives, its still a team game. Fields probably had his best game of season , not by stats, but because of he decision making on his pass attempts. The TD pass to Moore , he climbed the pocket and instead of running ; threw a perfect pass to DJ. Another play he had a roll out and stop short of the line and hit a side throw to Kmet for a first down, Mahomes does that all the time. On that pass to Tyler Scott he threw a perfect pass and Scott slowed down. The things you were complaining about Fields has showed better decisions in this game. If he plays this well for the next 6 games , Poles may bring him back. Listen to several former QBs that does reviews on the SCORE and they all praised him. we are just fans and have our opinion and no matter what we want ,Poles will choose his best option at QB. If he hires new coaches they will have input into who plays QB. Williams and Maye may be his choice but I have watched 5 games of Williams and 3 of Maye. They dont look like special QBs to me. I watched one game on Jayden Daniels and he played well. Poles is in on a complete analyze and I will trust him to make the right decision. Harbaugh is using Lamar Jackson in a similar way, his last 3 games he had 27 rushing attempts . Apparently Harbaugh doesnt have a problem paying a QB 52 mil a year that has running skills also. One of the better coaches in the league.

Toub has interviewed for HC jobs before and never got one. I wonder why.

I want new coaches but if they win 3-4 games that may not happen. Flus was a good DC but never had to carry the load of scrutiny threw a terrible losing steak. I would love him to just be the DC but to far down the rode of loses to make him look good again. The most important thing is does the team ball out for him and I dont think they have quit on him. If he blows games lie Sunday and that may not be the case.

The key will be , how will the coaches adapt to the game and not make the wrong decisions.

The point is after dominating the Lions for 55 minutes, we now can beat anyone but how will we beat ourselves.

Its called trying to be funny. The irony is we went for a offensive minded HC and it didnt work out, now after a defensive coach, we want a offensive minded coach again. Its just about getting the right coach.

That's why Flus is flawed, he sticks to much for process and not enough to using his talent properly.

It reminded me of any Bear game I watched.

Ben Johnson doesn't have any head coaching experience but the OC for KC has. Just saying

Actually that sucks , i have on 2 FF teams.

If Fields has 7 games to prove himself, he gets a B+ for this game. This team dominated a top 3 team in the National conference for 55 minutes in their house and better coaching would have sealed a win instead of a historic loss. +1 if you're keeping score.

I think its as simple of Whitehair no longer practices hiking with Feeney now healthy and the concept of both Jenkins and Davis having injuries this year. To back them up.

I wish there was someone they could turn over the team to but that assistant coach is not on the team. This was the type of game you get fired for. Hightower, with Hoke as DC and Janocko as OC ? Just dont see that happening but it needs to happen.

The purpose of this season was to see if Fields in the man and yet at the end of the game, (series before the last) they hand off into a filled box instead of giving the ball to Fields and see if he is the man. In that series, he had a perfect pass that Scott failed to finish but we should have never been it that position. At the end of games you have to put the ball in the hands of your best players, Fields, DJ or Kmet, not Herbert and Scott. Its the coaches.

As a losing team , the high draft picks are the light at the tunnel but I would rather have some more wins on the schedule than perpetual losing.

Yes its a get fired type of loss for Flus. Agree, Jackson will be gone( another hole to fill in the draft) but as much as your over paid for Edmunds, he's not a bad player. If the argument is Roquan or Edmunds, you have to figure in Edwards , who is literally playing better than Roquan. Nate Davis is not a bad player, his off field problems affected his start to the season that now playing again. is Jenkins better, yes but he still has injury concerns that is not past him yet. I want to see what Poles is building , not 1 and a half yrs into the rebuild but after yr 3 of which he stated when he started. I dont agree with everything he's done but we just dominated a good team in their house for 55 minutes. Now we just have to learn to finish games.

I agree with most of what you said but I think Poles is doing a good job. Yes he has made mistakes, the biggest one is choosing Flus or probably Getsy. We dominated a good team yesterday until 5:06 left in the game. The coaches let us down. On the TD pass to St Brown, our 2 vets in the cover 2 blew the coverage. JJ and Jackson. I think they will both be gone next year. You have to finish games. If Campbell was coaching that team, we would have easily won that game.

This team isn't there yet. They showed they can dominate a good team and then tripped over themselves. I never heard anybody say we could beat Detroit so the fact they were this close to smacking them is progress. Better coaching could have sealed the game and they screwed it up. Firing them now with no one in place to take over that's in the room would not work. Is Jeff Saturday working right now ? Fields played well but the play calling let him down. Is he THE QB? Put the ball in his hands instead of 2 running plays into a 9 man box and you may find out.

This is what losing teams do. Better coaching would have won this game. I think Flus lost his job today when you run 2 running plays and not put the ball in Justin's hands was ridiculous .

A good time to start blitzing.

It looks like Scott slowed down and seen the ball was there and didnt get to it.

If anyone said we would be winning 26-21 with 3 minutes left, i think we would all take that.

Let me say, this game is not over yet.

They dont win this game if Bagent is at QB, its about winning games and looking good so far.

Another FG will kill the lions/
