Hey even Jeff Davidson went 12-4

Point is people shouldn't just look at the record as the reason why to keep Shula. Those that actually watched every play this season know play calling was our major weakness.

If we had talent for a power run game.....play calling would look better

any OC would be flawed with this O in reality. Shula's at least played to our D. That let us win games. Crazy Chud ball would have worked against the D.

we punted twice the whole game........there's only two weeks i can truely say play-calling was wack this season......shula gets all the blame but never gets credit for jack poo around here.

 

just a quick scenario, we fire shula get a guy everyone wants and we fuggin suck it up the next two seasons because everyone thinks it's the play-calling instead of the sorry ass oline ..........then essential were right back where we started......you don't wanna make a move that could set a franchise back and with firing shula that's a possibility 

 

but i'll be reasonable if we get a o line and receivers and end up sucking then yeah can his ass if he's the main problem, but there's so many factors that play into this that us as fans don't even know about.

I highly doubt we're not going to fix the offensive roster. But to think the problem is all due to the roster is very misguided.

Shula continually forced runs up the middle instead of being creative by calling more outside plays. Ok, we don't have the personnel to run up the middle. Let's call more plays up the middle!

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
