To lose and not make the playoffs then to get embarrassed like this? We would have had a much better pick. And the only thing we learned is how bad this team really is.
Yikes. I hope you were jokingTo lose and not make the playoffs then to get embarrassed like this? We would have had a much better pick. And the only thing we learned is how bad this team really is.
Ask the Lions fans that question.To lose and not make the playoffs then to get embarrassed like this? We would have had a much better pick. And the only thing we learned is how bad this team really is.
I've thought about it both ways. What say you? They made the playoffs when no one was expecting it. I said I wish they hadn't made it because losing to SF sucks. Being bitchstomped by SF is a whole different level. It's been the other way for awhile.To lose and not make the playoffs then to get embarrassed like this? We would have had a much better pick.

How blind does someone have to be to think Hurtt helped in any way other than to lose? What would they be looking at other than actual stats and game film to conclude that he did anything positive?The Lions would have won this one. The 49ers would lose to a team with a strong quick passing game and good pass rush.
It would have been a better game, but then if the Lions had beaten us when they played us - it wouldn't have come down to that.
Still it would have been better for the NFL if we had never made the playoffs and the Lions went instead.
For this game, but I think the NFL would rather the 49ers advance and I think the Lions would have knocked them out.
Would it have been better for us? Probably. Harder to fire Hurtt as DC when he got us to the playoffs. (regardless of how you feel he contributed or didn't)
Rookies got playoff experience but getting boat raced doesn't teach you much and frankly, Pete doesn't learn. So it probably doesn't matter.
It was funny seeing people pick the Seahawks as a dark horse. All of us Seahawk fans knew that overcoming our DC would be near impossible. But even more impossible will be firing him after he 'helped' us get to the playoffs.
