Would you believe a player the Lions drafted with an injury history just tore his ACL again?

Ryan Broyles has a torn ACL, Titus Young sent home again | ProFootballTalk

The Lions have lost two more receivers for the season.

Rookie Ryan Broyles is done for the year after tearing the ACL in his right knee during Sunday’s loss to the Colts. The injury came early in the game, leaving the Lions short on active wide receivers for most of the contest.

The Lions are going to have to make a roster move in order to replace Broyles on the 53-man roster and they’ll also have to replace him on gamedays. Titus Young, who was inactive the last two weeks after getting sent home for bad behavior before Thanksgiving, is no longer “in the mix” to return to the active roster. Coach Jim Schwartz said Monday that Young has been asked to stay away from the team again and that he won’t be considered as a replacement for Broyles.

It’s a bad blow for Broyles, who has already tweeted his pledge to return. He tore the ACL in his other knee during his senior year of college, which slowed his transition to the NFL. He finishes the year with 22 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns.

Yet another bust drafted by Mayhew. This just means he'll pick ANOTHER fukking receiver in the draft. Probably in the first round now.

Who wants the honors on the thread tonight?

I've watched the last couple of games yall have played and it seems like the Lions are better than 4-9. What exactly is the problem?

Seems like they can never close the deal and always have some unfortunate play at the wrong moment.

Terrible coaching and drafting. The team is in salary cap hell now too, so I doubt it's gonna change anytime soon.

 

[Swiggy]

About what I figured tonight

Nothing like a good'ol fashioned anemic-last-couple-of-games-left to look forward too

 

[Piff Perkins]

Schwartz needs to go lmao. He's not the problem but he is like the image of it. The team lacks any discipline, doesn't play focused, and at times looks like it's not even an NFL team. shyt is scusting...

 

[Swiggy]

Schwartz had a decent run so far, but gotdamn @ the lack of discipline.

I blame Mayhew's never-ending support of him. You ain't gotta fire nobody, but go down and let nikkas know this ain't happening

 

[Piff Perkins]

Would this team respond well to a hard ass coach? I'm not sure, given how long they've gotten away with half assed shyt. Schwartz is like an ends justify the means guy. Oh we won? Well that's that, nevermind we got a bunch of penalties. Oh we lost? Well we only lost by 10 points, shyt wasn't a blowout and we guys played hard!

Once again, that's my idiot coach:

ALLEN PARK -- Coming into Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, running back Joique Bell was making a serious push for an expanded role in the Detroit Lions offense.

In the previous two games, Bell had runs of 23, 26 and 67 yards, the three longest carries by any Lions running back this season.

Leading up to the game, both coach Jim Schwartz and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan praised Bell for maximizing his opportunities. He was rewarded with a significant increase in playing time Sunday night, taking the field for 43 snaps on offense, 12 more than starter Mikel Leshoure. Bell finished with a career-high 17 touches for 96 total yards.

But it was a mental error, incurring a 15-yard infraction, that angered Schwartz.

After tight end Tony Scheffler's three-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, Bell excitedly joined in on his teammate's elaborate celebration. Multi-player celebrations are prohibited by the league and the penalty yardage was assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

Schwartz accurately described Bell's penalty as stupid and avoidable both after the game and during his Monday press conference, but the coach took his criticism of the young running back a step further.

"I think maybe I'll start to check some of my compliments for Joique Bell," Schwartz said.

Schwartz also suggested the mistake could impact Bell's playing time going forward.

"That's a young player, particularly a guy like Joique, who like I said has done some really good things for us this year and has done a good job on capitalizing on an opportunity. But it's things like that, it's a bad decision like that, that could potentially limit his opportunities and we certainly don't want to see that happen."

Schwartz was far more forgiving when asked about crucial mistakes by quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Suh was flagged for roughing the passer on the Packers' opening drive of the second half. The penalty occurred on a 3rd-and-6 play, extending the possession. Five plays later, quarterback Aaron Rodgers scrambled for a 27-yard touchdown to give Green Bay a 17-14 lead.

"We were already offside on the play, which wasn't very smart," Schwartz said. "But the quarterback is out of the pocket, usually you get a little bit more leeway. It's a bang-bang call. The way that Rodgers scrambles around, if he pulls that ball down and starts scrambling, you sit there and say, 'How come you pulled up on the guy?'

"He didn't hit him in the head, didn't him with his head. He pushed him, they called the penalty. We've got to live with it."

Stafford had a critical fumble in the second quarter that was scooped up and returned for a 43-yard touchdown by Packers defensive end Mike Daniels. The ball simply slid out of the quarterback's hand when he went to throw.

"I mean, it was slippery, and the ball slipped out of his hand," Schwartz said. "I don't think there's any -- you can't get too scientific with it -- coefficient of friction stuff on that. Ball slipped out of his hand."

So sick of this motherfukker.

Schwartz gets one more year from me. Then it's time to think again

I know he's gonna get another year, but I really don't see the point. He's still making dumbass mistakes in his fourth year on the job and the team still has no discipline. They almost always go into games looking unprepared and unmotivated too.

I couldn't imagine this team being 4-9 if Mike McCarthy, , Sean Payton, or either of the Harbaughs was coaching this team. shyt, look at the impact Jeff Fisher had with the Rams. We should all want an elite head coach like that and I just don't see it with Schwartz.
