This is a full on bore gripe post, so if you feel like defending the garbage I just viewed, do it somewhere else. There is absolutely no defending the crap I just saw. Danny Crossman should be fired immediately. Pack your bags and get out of Detroit. One week, ok, I can forgive. Two weeks in a row? No, that's crap. That's a guy who clearly doesn't value his job. Our special teams need a new face, and some much needed leadership, as the guy currently leading them obviously doesn't have what it takes to do the job. He proved it here, and he proved it in his previous stop in Carolina. Gee, maybe picking off the league garbage heap when it comes to coaches who have failed at the position you are hiring for isn't such a great idea. Broken tackles aren't his fault? Who's running the practices? You think this might have been identified as a problem?

Oh, and let's not forget the offense, our shining bastion of ineptitude. False start Raiola? Well, that two screw-ups in as many weeks. Good thing we have such a steady veteran presence leading the charge on our screw ups. Someone get Pettigrew some stick-um and a "The Ball is my Friend" neon sign. Linehan had some inspired playcalling today. Not sure whether it was inspired by alcohol, drugs, or sleeping pills, but it was inspired by something. When will you get it through your heads that we are NOT a power running team, and our interior linemen are not physically capable of opening a hole against even an average D-Line??? Gotta give Stafford credit, he didn't go Jay Cutler on his O-Line despite getting slob-knockered around the whole field all day. My hats off to the defense as well, despite not being able to stop the run or the pass consistently, they managed to hold the offense to 6 points. Word is Mayhew is scouting the film from yesterdays West Virginia vs. Baylor game looking for hidden gems on either teams secondary. Seriously, would anyone be surprised? This team has glaring, gaping, Achilles Heel type weaknesses that continuously fail to get addressed. I'm absolutely sickened by this performance. It's going to be a long year for us fans, and I'm just glad I didn't waste money going to see this crap in Fraud Field. I really don't see a way to fix this mess. People on this team are under-achieving at every level of the game. How do you fix that?
