        That was a truly awful showing, and coaching was a huge part of it. You know they want to bully you, they do, and you’re just sitting in two high soft zones that also don’t defend the pass all night.

        If they fire McCarthy’s ass and bring in Bill that team is a wagon though.

          How is no one criticizing Dan Quinn? His defense was touted as one of the best in the league all season and during this game they couldn’t even stop a nose bleed.

            Because McCarthy is the head coach.

            Both sides of the ball are his responsibility, and he’s done the same horribly underachieving in the playoffs his entire career no matter who his coordinators have been.

      Yeah, that was an awesome game. I’m a fan of both teams, but I wanted the Lions to do well because it’s been way too long.
