This team has quit on the coaching staff

[goshann]

Nah. Did you see the game last week?

 

[ArtClink]

All players report directly to Jerry, so they are quitting on Jerry, not MM who has no power.

The OP's observation should be emphasized as one echoing what Michael Irvin thinks as well (link). It does not guarantee the players have indeed quit but a former player has gotten the same impression from the team.

They have quit. Guys whiffing on tackles, just trying to not to get hurt out there yesterday. I would say I don't blame them, but you can't do that and call yourself a professional.

lol. That is just a technically. Players get paychecks from owners but it is their head coaches who prepare them to perform on Sundays. You are correct and partially agree but the primary job responsibility, for how players perform on the field, falls on the head coach.

That is closer to what's really happening. Almost half the players on defense are rookies and PS guys. On offense the line was rebuilt with Bass starting yesterday and no RB's. No one thought they could beat the Stealers but look what happened.

 

[McKDaddy]

And the coaches have quit on the owner. Also justified.

No amount of effort is going to make this unit a viable team. And no unit w #4 as QB1 is ever going anywhere. No need bailing water, the torpodoes have already hit their mark.

The owners quit on the fans, the players and coaches decades ago, too bad it has a ripple effect.

You guys don't think this is going to get worse? Wait until we extend Micah. The kitchen is bare right now, and just wait......we don't have the personnel to succeed, and by signing those 3 massive contracts, the personnel won't be comin any time soon. As I said a million times, our time was in '21, '22 and '23, but we know how we failed. Almost every other team in the NFL made the decision to move off of their aged QB before having to pay them a king's ransom, and what we are seeing should come as no surprise to most of us...

The coach is not the problem. It’s the gremlin in the owner’s box that is the problem.

 

[Jarv]

The owner/gm is a part time manager who does book cool things like monster truck rallies and cool NASCAR races...

The Lions GM probably works 50 to 60 hours a week. Our GM works 10 to 15 hours a week.

Also our GM doesn't allow coaches to discipline and sit players who don't follow his instructions, only the GM can do that.

Happy birthday Jerry!

 

[Rayman70]

yes, they quit. Is there any accountability? Only way to find out is by firing people. Messages and tone must be set. NO REASON to wait another week or 2. NONE. It achieves nothing by waiting. Cut bait with loafers and quitters, COACHES as well.

The fact that we saw Zeke have more carries than Dowdle tells us what we all know. Jerry is still running this. McCarthy should quit now after that. There is zero reasons why Zeke should have gotten more carries than Rico. None. But here we are.

Firing Mike is necessary.

then you start benching players that won’t play.

they will get the message.

 

[Rayman70]

This team will quite on the next guy too. This may be the softest team in the NFL right now.

Carolina could molly whop us right now. Thats how soft we are. I agree

The big difference between now and 2010 is Jerry doesn't have another Garrett in the wings he is dying to promote. The current staff isn't presenting the same scenario. I think Jerry will wait until the end of the season before he let's MM walk, but it won't bother me if he fires him sooner. It is way past time to send a message, but Jerry doesn't have the nads to do it.

He's got a former Garrett type on speed dial in Philly. I'm really hoping he doesn't go where I'm thinking he does, but I got a hunch he's going to go that route.

Yup, it's unfortunately a toxic situation and I'm not sure how it's solved besides Jerry doing what he won't do.

 

[zrinkill]

They are also quitting on this QB

I jsut think playing for the cowboys gets tiring. You stop appreciating the little things bc the talk is always centered around the big things

Does anyone on the team play like they’re having fun?
