Twitter Reacts: Dan Campbell Might Not Be Right Man for Job

The Detroit Lions were outmatched and outclassed against the New England Patriots.

For head coach Dan Campbell, it was the latest performance where he was forced to take the podium and fall on the sword for his team.

The team fell flat in all areas, as the team was shut out for the first time since November of 2020.

Despite the team being aggressive, going for it on fourth down repeatedly, the execution was non-existent.

Against the Patriots, the Lions went 0-for-6 on fourth down.

It's the first time in NFL history a team couldn't convert a fourth down with at least six or more attempts in a game.

"We just, when we come back, everybody's got to look in the mirror over the break. How do you get better individually? Just like I'm going to do. And, we find a way to win the next one," Campbell said. "Just win the next one out of the bye, and then take the next one as it comes. That's all you can do. It's all you can do.

"As bad as it looks, I also know what we're capable of. And, look, it's hard to say that when you look at the score today. But, we got better defensively. I mean, we played better today than we've played before. Is it good enough? No. But, we did play better. And, offensively, we're better than what we just put out there on tape. So, yeah, it's bad. But, as a total team here, it's 29 to nothing. So, to this point in the season, it's as bad as it's gotten."

Here is a sample of the reaction of Lions supporters, following the disappointing road loss to the Patriots.

We’re 60+ years into bad football. I don’t think there is a right coach for this team at all

I was hoping he would be. I’m not sure what to believe. I need some time to heal.

This is what always happens, every 3 years we replace a coach, the franchise winning % is like 42% the last 50 years, why would we think it would change now?
