So apparently Matt Patricia had a burner Twitter account that he was using to prop himself up and blame GM Bob Quinn for the team's issues.

Fansided: Lions think they found Matt Patricia's burner account

Sooooo...How do I know you guys are who you say you are? :thinking:

More to the point though, this is kinda silly. I've seen this from a couple of different coaches and even executives.

I guess they think it helps.

Did you read the article? The guys name is the same as Patricia’s middle name and he has 3 kids too? That kind of detective work by random people on Twitter = coach’s burner account because he said the GM was the issue? I mean the guy’s nor wrong to say they don’t have good talent. No one looks at Detroit and says man what a talented team that could contend if not for the coach.

Yes, since no one knows who this account is there’s a chance that it’s Matt Patricia’s account. There’s also a chance that that it’s this guy:

I googled “how many people named Edward live in Michigan” and this article written by Edward Pevos was link 2 and he writes for Michigan live.

This type of wonderful journalism where people just quote Twitter posts is Edward R Murrow level. OMG, maybe it’s the ghost of Murrow. He went to Washington State which is in Pullman. Maybe he was going for Eddy from Pullman and shortened it.

I read it. I'm not taking it that seriously.

With that said, other coaches and officials have been found to do similar things, so it wouldn't surprise me much.

I know, I was joking as well. Articles like this using Twitter posts are just awful.

Hell, there are whole news stories dedicated just to what somebody posted on Twitter and how people reacted to it.

Personally, I find that equally as interesting as what celebrity showed up at which restaurant with whom and who designed somebody's gown for an awards show I didn't watch.

But hey, that's today...

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
