Dan Campbell gets emotional after Washington loss.

[Khyber53]

Amazing job of coaching he's done this season considering the massive number of injuries that team has suffered.

Even with five turnovers, they put a bunch of points. Had their defense not been so decimated (including losing a starting DB with a broken arm early in the game), they might have held on to win it. 

The injury bug is a mean one, and it got them in the end. Not to downgrade Washington's performance, because they were outstanding, but just to say, there's no shame in Detroit.

I think he is a damn good coach and the kind of guy who a player could most definitely get behind as well as stand beside and play with. He has that characteristic that's hard to name but just makes a damn good coach.

I was really hoping this was their year.

It should have been.

Redskins vs Bills feels like a classic

It could have been if they didn’t get fancy. Gibbs was running  it all over Washington and they went pass happy. That dumb wr pass play that was picked was just terrible.  I know some lions fans and while they like the coach, they are annoyed with him all the same.

I would test Hendon Hooker out first. He may be just what they are looking for and need. I feel like he could turn into something and I am surprised if no other team has not attempted to get him in a trade for a later round draft pick to see if he can turn into a solid starter. He has had time on the bench to watch and he is ready to at least see if he can hack it as more than a backup 

If he was what they were looking for he would be playing. You don’t think they see him in practice and meetings daily?

Imo it says a lot about hooker that they immediately made bridgewater the backup a few weeks after he was coaching HS football and signed with them

There's some speculation that Ben Johnson might want to trade for Hendon Hookernif he picks the Raiders.

All speculation of course, but not out of the question.

Eh,Teddy is a longtime NFL player and was on the team in 2023, basically the prototype backup. I bet there was regular communication and Teddy didn't come in cold. Wouldn't think much of it considering the move was made for the playoffs when the stakes were highest.

Sure, why not, hes on the roster at least see what he has, Goff is decent but hes not elite, see if Hooker is.

I’ll be curious how he does when he starts to loose some of his assistant coaches.  
The “leader of men” deal doesn’t hit the same when you are losing.

All Detroit needs is a game manager QB with that OL and RBs and spend the money on defense. Justin Fields would be unstoppable if he just slightly improves as a passer and fumbles less.
