Has Dan Campbell been fired yet? Epic fail.
He?s not going anywhere but Detroit, KC & Baltimore has to be 3 most disappointing teams & KC wouldn?t had made it if Mahomes didn?t get hurt

KC and Baltimore have been injury plagued. There are no excuses for Campbell. He just bombed.

I disagree a bit and think the Lions have gotten hit hard with injuries too. The whole secondary has been decimated and they lost Laporta too. Feel like they have had worse injuries than the Chiefs. Definitely think those same excuses should apply for the Lions. Although I do agree that all three have disappointed even factoring in any injuries.

Lamar missed a quarter of the season and Mahomes had ankle and knee issues before the ACL. Even without Laporta, Detroit still had their starting QB for every game and all their top weapons with Gibbs, Saint Brown, Montgomery and Williams. They put up 10 points in their loss to the Vikings and are in last place in their division. Completely unacceptable and Campbell should be fired for it.

I may have to side with the fire Campbell camp here. We also have to take into account his recent past relevant Lions years too:

2023- blew a 24-7 lead to the 49ers in NFCCG
2024- blown out at their own home turf as a 1-seed to the 6-seeded Commanders
2025- finally, missed playoffs after two overachieving seasons.

All three of these happened under his tenure

How are you describing 2023/2024 as ?overachieving seasons" and saying they're failures that he should be fired over?

Campbell has shown enough in his tenure to deserve another season, especially considering the brain drain from his staff last off-season. If he blows it again next year (or loses the locker room) then get rid of him, but good teams don't cut good coaches because of a single bad season.
I'm bitter.
