BYE BYE TO RICK AND THER REST OF HIS COACHES

[natedoggna]

Fire baldy( and the rest of the coaching staff)

[billbaird]

A lot of poor coaching calls. 3 rd and 1 and they go for it, but why snap it back 7 yards? Why not use Mackie to pick up the first down.

[Jimsathome]

The Lions got out coached again, and the Offence wasn't competitive. Dumb call not to kick a field goal early to keep in close on 3rd down and 2. The OC has to go, and the DC has no scheme to cover anyone, so they get picked apart. The Pass Rush was feeble at times, especially with the tiny Left Tackle they have. Even the kicker can't boot an on-side kick in bounds?? These guys are supposed to be Pros! Actually thought Rourke played decent but the turnovers by his receivers, just killed them. If I'm the owner, I'm cleaning house at year end.

If they don't play VA next week, they better fire Rick. He is gonna cost us a grey cup

Writing is on the wall. They are done.

I'd like to see Rick get mad, just once, because I think the team needs to hear it. And for sweet Jesus sake, can we put VA back in to try and spark something? I have 3 tickets left for this season and I'm so depressed at using them for Oct 19. C'mon Leos, the fans deserve a really great effort. We love you but you need to love us back😻!!!

This is not a coach who exudes any confidence. We have some good players, but the coaching staff don't seem to be on top of their team. That was a weak interview, much like the Lions' play in that pathetic game.

The last good game the Lions played was against Montreal. Since then the effort and will to win seems to have disappeared. Coach Campbell seems to be at a loss as to why the Lions are not playing with confidence and a will to win. Not a good sign. Their season is finished. We need a coach that will hold the players and coaches accountable for their collapse this season. Hopefully the owner will make some tough decisions before his team loses it's fan base.

What can you say about this debacle - again! The Lions keep on doing the same old thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Einstein described this as the definition of insanity. If that is the case, it's time that the owner cleaned out this nuthouse. The Lions don't stand an ice cube's chance in hell of winning in the playoffs. The upcoming home game against Montreal is a mean nothing game which means they have a chance to play some of the backups . Maybe it's time the Lions start a rebuilding plan - their season is effectively over for them. And I think the fans are sick and tired of hearing the same old cliches - "we just gotta make plays". Well for most of the last 8 games the offence has not been " making plays". Why not is the big question!

I'd quote the mediocre movie "U-157" "A leader knows what to do even when he doesn't." IE. You cannot be indecisive as the leader or coach but Rick doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on and how to actually fix it.

Why not start VA? Can't get worse!

[glennhankins]

I've been a critic of Rick, but he handled this interview with dignity and class after his players forgot to show up for such a huge game.
Could have clinched home field for a playoff match up with the Riders.... now we have to go back to a packed, loud Mosaic to play in cold weather.

[Vancouversportsfan]

You were only good when VA was your starter. What a coincidence! Enjoy your time flipping those burgers!

[elypevets]

You had momentum Then you changed quarterbacks for no good reason

[shycourage]

Great call 3rd and 2 1/2 in field goal range and go for a first down with a run against a no run defense. Whereas you could have been down by five at the time. Keep Rourke as your starting QB the rest of the western playoff teams love him.
