I don't love drama. I think a very large portion of people don't either.

So....it doesn't work two straight times....why not a third? Not smart.

How many teams can afford to be down a top 5 TE and WR and still be competitive? I am insanely jealous at the wealth of talent the Lions have amassed.

Boy, these are some hellaciously bad calls in this game.

I think Kochetkov is hurt at the moment. That's anothet concern. He hasn't been able to stay healthy.

Goff is out of sorts again. 2nd time in the last 3 games this has happened and he fell apart.

I am honestly never sure how good a QB Love is.

Good games almost across the board. A Thanksgiving rarity.

I know. It's not just the stats, it's the eye test too. He dropped off some last year but I think the end is nigh. Yeah, at worst, you find out that you need to go shopping before the trade deadline. I am perplexed he hasn't had that already. This is Rod's true weakness as a coach. He really has a tough time managing goaltenders well. I know he gets poo for other things(largely unfairly, IMO) but he really is bad at this.

...that we may officially have a Freddie problem? It's a long season, to be sure but he is currently overwhelmingly the worst goalie statistically on the roster and in the midst of the worst statistical season of his NHL career in traditional stats, advanced stats and metrics. So, what is the solution? Bench him for Kochetkov? Start looking at trade options?

I know it's hard to believe but there is worse QB play in the NFL currently. Cam Ward Dillon Gabriel(could be done) JJ McCarthy Justin Fields(appears to be done) It's really been quite the year for insanely terrible QB play. IDK about historic but it seems to be far worse at the bottom of the league than I recall.

The squandering of a genuinely good haul of draft picks was abysmal. Scott Fitterer.

Half of the roster? We don't even have half of the starters that would start on most NFL teams. I also bristle at the idea of a "bridge" coach. That's letting Tepper off easy when it was juat plainly a bad fuging hire. Especially when you have guys like Ben Johnson and Shane Steichen that aren't struggling this way.

fug him. He is a 49er now, a team I despise. Same thing I said about Cam on the Pats. I don't look wistfully at him and wish. He wouldn't have mattered a single bit in the susequent years since he left. Now Baker Mayfield.....that one hurts.

If you are throwing games to spite someone or don't have the "power" to bench players, you aren't a good head coach.

It panders to the lowest common denominators of humanity and then consistent watching ropes more dopes into it. Think about how infurating it would be to have someone that was constantly like that in your personal life? Just spinning up and yelling about poo they didn't really even GAF about just to get a rise out of you? The IRL version of internet trolling is not pleasant to be around. But, people consume this all day long via TV, anti-social media, etc.

I actually disagree. As many morons as the Huddle has, it's very hard to be as grossly incompetent as David Tepper has been. I don't care if we fire Canales or not. He will get that accomplished himself soon enough without any Huddle input at all.

Canales isn't in a tough spot that he didn't choose and he consistently makes it tougher on himself. His problems are almost all his own doing. If he "can't" bench Bryce then he is an abysmal head coach. Name a single head coach that is such a boot licking company man that he willingly causes the team to lose that isn't unemployed? If the conspiracies are true about Tepper(or Morgan) pulling the Bryce strings, it makes Canales look far, far worse, not better.

Hence the second paragraph. Stop being stupid is my message to the coaching staff. This poo is not as complex as they seem to want us to believe.

Sports media actually became unwatchable at a pace that was substantially faster than traditional news media. It was wild to see. I generally blame ESPN overall. They started this BS that everyone copies now. But, the real ultimate blame goes to the viewers. Any of these people that watch this First Take hogwash or Stephen A. Bayless nonsense are the reason we get this crap. If you stopped watching this fuging fake drivel, none of us with a functioning brain would have to put up with it.

Even if the conspiracy is true, that makes Canales a bad head coach. If you have to simp to the whims of the least knowledgeable person in the entire organization(David Tepper) then what fuging good are you? How is that a real coach at all?

I mean, pay em both, IDGAF. IF we plan on continuing to be a power rushing offense. And, maybe actually act like that for once? All this schizophrenic game planning(or really just piss poor) is infuriating. I get that this team isn't good. Believe me, we all get that. But when you have opportunities to beat teams, do what it takes to win. Not be considerate of people's feelings or worry about being fair or what it looks like to do X, Y or Z. Win. The. fuging. Game.

Then bench him. Or don't make him the centerpiece of the offense(literally from his own mouth) in a very winnable game. Canales offensive personnel management is absolutely abysmal. We see it over and over. Corbett starting over Mays at C(or starting at C at all), Chuba over Rico for "reasons", Bryce over anyone for "reasons." It's constant. XL, Coker, Sanders, Horn Jr., Evans, etc, etc. He is an a below average coach with bottom 2-3 personnel evaluation capabilities.

I always look up the ladder in professional sports. The longer problems persist the fault is usually: 1. Ownership 2. Front Office 3. Coaching 4. Players Canales shows himself to be a weak link in this chain of weak links far too often.

I am fine paying him some money. We literally built that offense to be a power rushing offense. So, why we suddenly go pass happy is a fuging mystery to me.
