At vikes, who were 5-4, packers who were 6-3 and won late on a int return, texans who were 10-1 and we know how that turned out. After that they were done at 4-7, and in came the under the radar overachieving colts who were down 13 at one point in the game, then came the packers again in which they led until late third in Lambeau, after that they were drained on a second straight road trip going to Az out west. With the exception of that game and Atlanta, their last seven games 5 of them were all close losses. Lions had to play contender after contender. Their problem was not not showing up on game day but not being able to finish games.

"Showing Up" means arriving prepared to play 60 minutes of football. Not kicking arse for the first 1/2 then just being on the field for the second 1/2. It's being mentally prepared to play all 60 minutes @ 100%. Football is as much mental as it is physical.

Now. The Lions are a team.... An organization and that means if the players bust arse for 60 minutes but the coaches screw up the second half adjustments as a whole they have problems. Problems that players can not effect.

I don't believe any teams intentionally "give away" games... Someone fails to do their job, be it players or coaches.

In my honest opinion Atlanta has a coaching problem.... So do the Texans. Kubiack and Smith are the reasons they don't go as far as their on the field talent says they should.

As much as Payton is the reason we win, Schwartz is the reason the Lions lose.

Not all head coaches can get it done.
