Lions are Undisciplined

                On Sunday night the Detroit Lions played the New Orleans Saints and loss 31-17. The game was overall embarrassing because of the undisciplined play. It is really a shame because the lions could be known for so many better things. They have some of the top young players in the league in the league in Stafford, Suh, and Calvin Johnson, they have the potential to make their first playoff appearance since 1999, but they have just played there second game in the row with too many undisciplined penalties.

                I really do not know what to think of this. I am very proud of the Detroit Lions success this year but ever since Schwartz’ argument with Harbaugh the team has been playing undisciplined. I am hoping this is not going to be an ongoing issue and the players can concentrate and realize they are in a playoff race.

                I am not sure if it is because the team is so young that we are playing like undisciplined thugs, or if the coaching is not doing its job and keeping the players under control. If the coaches cannot get things under control, then the team’s veterans should be stepping up. I am not saying fire Schwartz because I for one feel he is just as responsible for our success this year as Mayhew and all of the players. He has brought back Detroit football and his attitude is just what this team needs.

                I understand the Lions have developed a bad boys reputation but there is a limit and if it is costing us wins it needs to be put to a stop. Overall, the Detroit Lions need to use their heads and buckle down because they are in a playoff hunt and it is getting interested. It is really a shame we couldn’t get a win this week especially because the Chicago Bears lost.
