Same old Lions.

Quote from: Dish on December 25, 2025, 06:25:32 PMVikings have -7 net passing yards and are winning late in the 4th. Both these teams suck.

Ended up at 3. 51 minus 48 lost in sacks.  That is an absolutely wild stat.

Quote from: MU82 on December 25, 2025, 03:56:56 PMKolek was incredible, and they actually were chanting his name at the Garden. If he can shoot near 40% from 3 - and I think he could if he keeps getting consistent playing time - he becomes all the more valuable, because his court vision and passing skills are elite even at the NBA level.

Brown and the Knicks brass are gonna have some tough decisions to make when Shamet and McBride get back. Someone's gonna have to get traded, maybe even Kolek.

It's all about tickling the twine from distance for Tyko.  If he can get that percentage up, say in the 38% range, look out.  We're talking about a dime machine that automatically makes teams better on the offensive end.

After all of this, though, they're going to win this game.

Nevermind. Happy to be proven wrong.

Doubtful.  And yes, a Goff weakness is hot reads.  Great at check downs, terrible at getting the ball out quick against a blitz.

It looks like the old days when Stafford (honestly, every QB in Lion history) was running for his life.  Need a functioning O-line.

In the end, just another team that did not meet expectations.  With changes looming in the offseason.

Can probably cross Shephard off the head coaching speculation lists for a couple more seasons.  Likewise Fraley.

Lions REALLY not happy they had to play thanksgiving and Christmas

Quote from: BM1090 on December 25, 2025, 02:00:34 PMLook. Shaka has accomplished infinitely more than Wojo. He's a better coach. He's a better developer of talent. I prefer him as a representative of the university. I relate to him a lot more.

But we're staring at a year that would be significantly worse than Wojo's first two years. We might be the worst power conference team in the nation this year. If he has another one next year, he should be fired. If they improve a lot next year and but are still bad, I'd give him another year to show he's back on track. But this is an insanely bad team. And he's responsible for it.

I like Shaka a lot and hope he's here a long time, but he needs to do better than whatever the hell this is.

I'm astounded some people can't comprehend the context with which I wrote my post suggesting Shaka should have 5 years to get us back on the right "trajectory"  I just found it ironic that the Scooper who preached patience with Wojo (Brewcity77) for 5 years, when Wojo had accomplished ZERO at MU or elsehwere as a Head Coach - is flat out pissed off and thinks Shaka should have a warm seat for his first bad season at MU, AFTER doing a very good job at MU the first 4 years.  Get it?

I don't think it will take Shaka 5 years to turn it around, but for you or other Scoopers who thought my post suggesting he should get 5 years was crazy - then those same Scoopers sure AF had a weird double and different standard for Wojo..who hadn't done squat at MU and preached patience for 5 years.

If Shaka chooses to stay at MU he will get things turned around within a couple of years max.  But, I wouldn't blame him for leaving for a Power 4 job at a school with better donor base.  The way our fanbase has turned on him astounds me after what he's accomplished here having come into a program that hadn't won a tournament game in 10 years.
