Let ' s hope they remain ignorant of us for as long as possible . <| sep |> 1 cookie off but still , probably worse than a candy bar for you <| sep |> They ' re overlooking that Austin ' s shitty soft zone is hiding a lot of the problems we have on defense because we have injuries creating weaknesses in the defense . EDIT I ' m arguing with pure delusion now . These imbeciles are the same ones all railing for Caldwell to be fired earlier , Stafford to be benched for anyone , etc . They ' re impassioned imbeciles who just fluctuate based upon the simplified results . Okay , this is just dreamy stuff now . You ' re tremendously reaching . The Lions defense over the past three games has been an entirely different beast , and it is coming together . But what we saw at the beginning . that historically bad dog shit defense wasn ' t covering for anything . It was predictable and easy to abuse , and teams did . But they ' re overlooking that Jim Bob Cooter needs to keep our defense off the field as much as possibleThe Lions time of possession has been bad to extremely bad . If this is the goal , he ' s achieving the exact opposite . Cooters job is to march down the field and leave with points . Now we all know that he answers to Caldwell , and we see the conservative bullshit appear the moment the team gets the slightest lead . Here ' s the thing the mere fact that that the Lions keep winning in heroic fashion indicts everything you and the other excuse maker keep saying . When it ' s 30 seconds that Stafford has to go down the field , that is 100 % in the hands of Stafford and Cooter . And they do . When Caldwell gets the fuck out of the way , they do it . When the defense absolutely needs to make a stop or the game is lost . they do . It ' s on them , and they do . When it isn ' t on them , and is on Caldwell , it is not good . Christ , it was terrible until Caldwell ' s seat got warm and suddenly he had to play to win instead of just putting in 60 minutes . I love that the Lions are poised for success . But the people suddenly making a stupid narrative that this proves Caldwell ' s brilliance are embarrassing . This is in spite of Caldwell Christ , the team was poised for an extremely bad season last year until people above Caldwell fired Lombardi for him . right as Caldwell was saying that he ' s sticking with Lombardi and a completely broken offense . Cooter is the single reason this team isn ' t 011 right now . And it relied entirely upon bad plays of the opponent poor time management , poorly considered throws into triple coverage , etc . Some of these wins were gifted .
