An incompetent head coach. A GM who is far too loyal to his "old boys" and a fan wannabe president. Boy does franchise miss Bob Ackles right now

But if it means that we clear house and bring in a new staff with top coaches that can compete with Hufnagel, Jones, Austin, etc, then it was WELL WORTH IT...with Benevides at the helm this team has been on a major slide to the bottom of the league, without him, without any major change in our talent level, we can be right back on top again in one off season![/quote]

How close is Garcia to being a head coach?

The D appears to have given up.

Just to see you make a play or two.
Seems we just get started and before you know it.
We can say goodbye this year to you.

If we rely on Glenn next year we will have the same results!!!!

Lions D was suppose to win them this game, now it is on the Lions O. This isn't going to be easy.

I can see Benevides on the post game interview.

Interviewer: Did the Als surprised you with anything they're doing ?

Benevides: Not really, we had the players in position to make plays but they didn't execute. They need to do a better job of execution.

Being down 12 at the half and the history of our second half offensive production and it looks like the boys packed it in on Benny at the half!

29-3 Mtl. All the media geniuses who were saying crossover is the way to go are pretty quiet today.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Yes, but he says it really, really fast so he sounds really, really smart.

Benevides' post game record is still intact.

Maybe it was too much to expect the Lions to win in Montreal. Or to expect Glenn to play well in the playoffs. This is embarrassing.
