Dan Campbell on concerns from fans over recurring issues in secondary: "I get that. I know there's some frustration, a lot of worry, a lot of anxiety over what it is. “But I'm a big believer in, we can improve what's here right now. And it's not just defense,... it's us as a team."show more

Why can’t he just be honest? Admit that the defense is trash, talk to us like adults.

Head in sand is the new strategy for the Lions

All our teams have loyal fan bases that spend big money to fill the home stadiums. It seems like that's enough for our team executives. Winning is a distant second.

You can’t keep trying to improve shit and think it will create something good.

Shep is in way over his head man…it’s going to cost Dan his job

The problem is we finished in 4th place last year. We didn’t make the playoffs. So playing poorly isn’t a fluke. The similarities to the Tigers last two seasons is noticeable. With them it was the Bullpen. With the Lions it’s the secondary. Two big problems that were never addressed over two seasons.

The literal last thing I wanted to hear

He knows they’re dead. He absolutely Looks broken

His Bullshit is running out

If, if, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Quit the if stuff and get it right. No excuses

Red Wings staff is saying the same line.

Bro no you can’t. These guys are practice squad players on any other team. It’s night and day talent wise and when Geno Smith and Bryce young put up career days back to back against this…it’s time to pull the bandaid. We know you and Brad like these guys …no one else does.

Brad Holmes is dog shit. Drafts what he wants, thinks he’s smartest guy in room, drafts projects… he never addressed what the team needed. Window closed.

These clowns can't cover anyone but more to the point, after the catch is made, they can't tackle! I saw 3-4 times vs Carolina where they had the guy behind the first down marker (refuse to use the "line to gain") and couldnt make the tackle and the guy picked up the first down!

He has proven he has no clue how to hire coordinators. He's not an intelligent person, so he naturally gravitates to those who he can understand. Hint: They aren't very smart either.

We need to get the grit back!!

I hope im wrong but I feel they've dug themselves in a hole to deep to come out of.

so delusional!

Hear the same old comments

Only saying what he has to Not how he really feels The secondary sucks The Linebackers suck The defense as a whole sucks

9 and 8

Man stfu

Who is he trying to convince the fans or his self. It's week 5 if this crap can be fixed then your coaching has sucked & should be a fireable offense. I don't think you have the defensive players on this roster at the moment to fix this garbage & THAT'S ON HOLMES NOT YOU

This kind of talk reached its limit. The fact is they paid players they shouldn’t have paid and snubbed free agents they should have brought in. Not to mention quite a number of horrible draft picks. Thank you Dan and Brad for memorable 3 years. It was fun and will remember you.

Only thing you can do is improve because you certainly can’t get worse

Dan, your loyalty is admirable, we wouldn't expect anything else from you. You gotta make the tough decision for good of the team. Shepp isn't good enough. Brad also needs to get help for your secondary. He hasn't done enough to help you.

It’s been 4 games with a piss poor defense. Come on.

Jesus Christ Dan. This is like believing the earth is flat. Like it’s dumb af at this point to even think you can manage that secondary.

Horrible answer.. FIRE EVERYBODY

Improve? Meanwhile The Bears are winning football games under Ben Johnson…

The Grit is gone

If you can improve than why haven’t you already…. They knew of the issues and still did nothing to improve. Your lucky to be 2&2

Dan Campbell might be a lost cause at this Point.

Get this loser out of Detroit

But it is the defense. Not even close. Ranked 32nd out of 32 teams.
