No one is to blame singularly.

This is an average team with average QB, average defense, average offense, average special teams, average coaching They are nothing special. They will always be a 5 to 10 win team with this unit. Mostly depends on how the ball rolls.

Lions game and Colts game is the most disappointing I have ever felt watching them since they raised the hopes so

Look at the scoring. Our offense falls apart in the second half of the season.
Who runs the offense?

Because I'm certain we should never lose a game where the defense allows 25 points or less

Beyond the sun.
How much time & effort was spent in practice on that cute misdirection punt return?
How much time & effort was spent in practice with the backup holder and Long Snapper?
Your backup Center has a history of bad snaps, why use the Shotgun formation so much?

Someone has the authority & responsibility to ask those questions, and they aren't.
I blame that guy.

Right now I feel like Kliff is extremely fortunate Kyler got hurt and missed a month. If the Kyler we've seen these last few games starts vs. the 49ers and Seahawks we lose both games and the team is 8-7 right now.

But then you realize the offenses the team has played. Offenses missing multiple OL & WRs/TEs. Those offenses shouldn’t be getting close to 25 points. Not excusing our pathetic offense either, but don’t please don’t excuse the defense.

The best thing that could happen would be for them to miss the playoffs somehow and that would give the front office pressure to clean house. Problems this severe are a result of owners that have had the team passed down from generation to generation and they don't know what they are doing. That's been the issue with the Lions for decades now.

Yup. Unless we somehow get our ish together, win the next two games, division and a playoff game, I fear 1 victory moving forward will be pyrrhic in nature.

....agree,...when the offense is struggling the D should step up and clamp down..... but we have dropped like two scores a game in average since the bye

We have a coach that runs a calculus offense with players more suited for algebra.

He feels he has to call a genius play design instead of having his player play football.

Yes we will be in the playoffs but I don’t see how we beat any opponent we will face.

The team is failing down the stretch again. This team has no shot going deep into the playoffs with the mental shortcomings and inconsistencies.
