I look around the team and we don’t have too many glaring weaknesses. Our coaching is that garbage.

    Our talent also been hurt. The first few weeks if I remember correctly our offensive line and defensive backs were hurt. Those obviously make it harder to win.

    But yeah coaching has been problematic. I am always constantly blown away watching other teams on offensive. It is always a reminder that out coaching for offensive have been terrible.

    Excited to see what Poles and Warren do for the draft, free agency, and for coaching.

      Eberflus is fucked cuz last week was a prime example of his scheme not working. We grind the clock for 40 minutes, the HITS principles are all checked, & the cover 2 should be a bend don’t break defense that makes teams burn clock especially 4 minutes & up 12

        I’m not as critical on eberflus last week. The defense for the game play excellent until the end which you mention is certainly problematic but the lions are an excellent team.

        What bothers me most about eberflus is his press conference and energy. His style is an unsalted plain cracker that’s been dropped on the floor. I think his defense game plan is “fine” enough but a headcoach needs to have some accountability and he has none.

          His scheme is at fault, they can’t get consistent pressure with 4 and he had to blitz a LB the last 4 minutes. All Goff had to do was replace the blitzed with the ball.

      This is something we can’t forget. Poles but a good portion of our draft capital into the secondary and the only one who has consistently stayed healthy is Stevenson, a 2nd round rookie CB. Our O Line has also seen every starter except Wright go down for at least a game, and it took Eberflus two games of shoddy snapping/blocking by Whitehair to notice he is struggling at guard, let alone as a backup center. People think Justin being out gave our offense a rhythm, which was true, but Bagent was taking the easy throws against weak defenses which exposed him once he had to go deeper into tighter windows. The biggest problem with coaching was the piss poor tackling to start the year which literally comes down to coaching by our DC before he disappeared after an FBI investigation and our HC took a month to get them to league level. This coaching is such a mess, I don’t feel comfortable evaluating any of the players if they have managed to show any flash of potential.
