Big Turk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) First it was the Broncos with no QB...now the Lions just closed their facility and the entire defensive coaching staff and Darrell Bevell are considered close contacts. I mean not like it could get any worse for them...just let Stafford call his own plays and the defensive leader can do the same...it would be hilarious if they actually shellacked whoever they were playing with no coaches... https://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/2020/12/24/report-detroit-lions-interim-head-coach-darrell-bevell-out-saturday-due-to-possible-covid-19-exposure/ Edited December 24, 2020 by Big Turk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I am assuming coaches can remotely communicate with the players, this isnt like College where you cant call in. I think with technology if they have it organized properly, the impact will be nominal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with technology if they have it organized properly, the impact will be nominal. The NFL has done a bunch of stuff to make their sideline and coach communications secure and specific - much harder for episodes like Tomlin's "Patriots radio broadcast in my headset" to occur. The flip side of being more secure, though, is being harder to patch in from outside. Bottom line I don't know what's possible and what the NFL will allow. If the coaches are allowed to be at the game but sit somewhere outside the coaches box, and wear the usual headsets, impact could be minimal I guess, but unclear (to me anyway) what NFL rules will allow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. K Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Go Lions. That would go against all the analytics to win with no coaches right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would go against all the analytics to win with no coaches right According to the thread last week all coaches lose more games for the team than they ever win them.... so if the Lions go coachless I'd assume they win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Look at the bright side, now they are assured probably one higher spot in the draft (glad we don’t have to rationalize our crappy seasons anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
