That team is cursed.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Growing up in Michigan, I was a huge Lions fan for decades. Hated the Packers and the Vikings.

Josh McDaniels fired because no current or ex-New England coach wins without Tom Brady.

True but you got to admit the Raiders have been a mess long before McDaniels was hired.

Not going to change until they move on from the Davis family for good.

Watching final 1:09 of Chiefs @ GB…

… When did Pac12 refs start calling NFL games???

Penalty for “late hit” by GB on Mahomes - He was inbounds!

KC receiver fights backward to get OOB - called stop clock

Most flagrant PI missed call of the season @ 5-yard line

Missed PI on final hail mary!

No way was that a penalty on the last play hail mary. Lot's of pushing and shoving but nothing that egregious.

Others you mentioned PC were spot on.

Everyone is going for the ball on a Hail Mary so PI is pretty much impossible.

The other calls/no calls were horrible and ruined the game. What’s the use in having a rule book that’s eleventy billion pages long if you’re not going to enforce it correctly?

The "moving the ball" illegal procedure against the Browns was a big call that helped the Rams seal their victory.

The Browns coach said the league sent out a memo last week saying the Refs will be looking out for that as apparently team's have been moving the ball forward on those butt push plays.

Holy shit!

I am playing absolutely ZERO attention to pro football this year and the Lions are in FIRST PLACE in their division after 12 whole games?

Are they legit or have they just gotten away playing deadbeats so far?

How is that even possible after trading away Matthew Stafford?

Wasn't Wayne Fontes the coach the last time the Lions made the playoffs?

The Lions have to be the worst run franchise in the history of the NFL. Had Barry Sanders and Calvin Williams both retire with a lot a good years left.

Raiders players are demanding Antonio Pierce be given the HC job which makes me think this is going to either end with a player revolt against the guy they do end up hiring or Antonio showing he isn’t actually a good coach and leaving a dumpster fire behind in two years.

FYI, there are some long-suffering football fans that just might be suffering more than Arizona fans this very moment…

… and I really, really need the schadenfreude fix!!!

I have been a Detroit Lions fan longer than I have been an Arizona fan, so yes.

Believe Wayne Fontes was the coach last time the Lions won a playoff game.

Actually, I was counting on Detroit to provide me with my annual Cowboys’ schadenfreude fix next week… (They shoulda won @ Dallas)
