Super Bowl Champion Wideout Torrey Smith: Matt Patricia’s Excuses for Lions ‘Lies’

The Detroit Lions are 1-3, and have found winning consistently hard to do in 2020. As a result, Matt Patricia is starting to feel the heat. According to the coach, however, the team’s losing isn’t all his fault.
Speaking after another Lions debacle on Sunday, Patricia said that the team he took over had a lot of work to do in order to be successful, and he’s trying to do that work now. Naturally, that excuse isn’t sitting well with some fans and even some alumni of the team.
It also isn’t sitting well with former Super Bowl champion wideout Torrey Smith. While Smith never played for the Lions, he did play under their former coach Jim Caldwell with the Baltimore Ravens, and recognizes that Caldwell had the Lions a lot closer to the playoffs and the postseason success than Patricia ever has.
As Smith tweeted, Patricia’s assertion that the franchise had a lot of work to do is a lie, considering the team was 9-7 following Caldwell’s departure.
It’s certainly getting harder for defenders of Patricia to find rallying points given his miserable record and the decline of the team under his watch. Just this week, Patricia lost to a team that was down 6 starters while the majority of his own team was healthy.
In the aftermath, it’s probably not wise for Patricia to blame his situation on his predecessors. He should be taking complete ownership of the team’s failures. When he doesn’t, it only makes him seem more ridiculous in the end.
Dan Orlovsky Slams Matt Patricia
Quarterback turned ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky is one such player who is not pleased with how things have gone under Patricia’s watch. Speaking on Monday morning on Keyshawn, JWill & Zubin after an ugly loss against the New Orleans Saints, Orlovsky spoke openly about the end of Jim Caldwell’s tenure with the Lions and what’s happened so far under Patricia and let the Detroit coach have a major piece of his mind.
Here’s Orlovsky’s take:
Orlovsky is right. While the Lions may not have been elite under Caldwell, they seemed primed to take the next step following his departure, and things have gotten markedly worse. That’s a black eye for Patricia and his staff, who have had trouble getting their program on the ground and running successfully in Detroit when the team looked primed to be able to jump forward.
While Caldwell’s Lions struggled in plenty of ways, it’s getting hard to argue that the team was never as bad or as ill-prepared as they look under Patricia. That’s bad news for the coach and his future, especially considering his potentially former status as a defensive guru.
Matt Patricia’s Future Murky With Lions
This week, Detroit heads into the bye week with a woeful record. The pressure from the fanbase to make a move will likely be immense, but that doesn’t mean the Lions are going to do so. In fact, probably far from it in the short term at this point in time.
Speaking to WXYZ’s Brad Galli after the 35-29 loss, Detroit Free Press reporter Dave Birkett was asked directly about Patricia’s future. As he said, while there might not be a short term danger to Patricia, there is certainly a long term danger.
Birkett said:
Waiting until the end of the season might be painful for Lions fans, but it seems like the most likely scenario at this point for the team. Patricia had better hope he can use his upcoming schedule to make a run, or it could be curtains for the coach in Detroit.
Right now, that could be the direction things could be heading in the future, and if tons of former players are to be believed, it makes sense to them.

Rivera wanted that Cac starting the whole time
As much as I want Haskins to be successful as one of the few black QBs in the league, he's not ready and just needs more time to develop. Last season screwed him over with him being brought in too early and there wasn't much room for him to make any mistakes this season. Lose Lose situation

Belicheck's assistants have been ass in the NFL
and he wasn't even the coordinator of a good defense. That was one of their bad defensive seasons.
Detroit deserves that shit.

Titans broke protocols, gathered for a workout last week
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A group of Titans worked out at Montgomery Bell Academy on Sept. 30 despite an NFL directive not to hold such get-togethers while team headquarters was closed because of a COVID-19 outbreak, according to sources who saw players there.
A league source said that once the Titans building was closed down on Sept. 29, the franchise was told there were to be “no in-person meetings, workouts or activities at the facility or elsewhere.”
Students at the private school saw a large group of adult football players they identified as Titans working out on the school’s field during classes in the middle of the day. Another source said he saw Ryan Tannehill there.
Mike Vrabel and Jon Robinson did not return requests for comment.
These pictures are not definitive but offer a long-distance glimpse of what one person saw from long-range.
This report is relying on what I've been told by sources, not by what I am seeing here.
On October 1 in a Zoom call with media Vrabel discussed things he had told his players.
“Reminded them to not gather with each other, players and staff, until we can find a safe way to enter in back to our building,” Vrabel said.
Keeping players apart would help assure they didn’t pass the coronavirus around and extend the window for transmission, though outdoor gathering are generally considered to be safe.
Such a gathering is likely to lead to fines and could cost the Titans a draft pick or draft position as penalties.
National reports say the NFL is also looking at the Titans for violations of mask usage in their facility. ESPN has reported players may have failed to report symptoms and Shane Bowen, who appears to be the first case at the start of the outbreak, may have failed to report contact with a person with COVID-19.
The Titans now have 10 players and nine staff members sidelined by COVID-19.
Said Tannehill on Sept. 30: “You can't sit around on the couch for a week and be on a Zoom meeting and expect to go be at a physical peak on a Sunday, or whenever the game is going to be. It's going to look a little bit different for everybody, what they're able to do, where they're able to work out, in a garage, in a gym somewhere, I'm not even sure.
"Every man on this team is charged with prepping themselves, getting their bodies right, making sure that we're running, we're conditioned, and ready to go whenever the game comes around….”
“I'm just going to make sure that I'm getting throws in and ready to go and throw the ball well when the game comes around.”

The color of them trees dont look recent, no fall colors plus Paul Kurharsky is a bullshit reporter, dude hates Titan players
If the trees in hot ass Houston have started to change colors I know damn well the trees in Tenn which is way colder have turned colors already, then trees green than a mofo, look likes a summer pic
The only coach,whose coaching tree thats very successful is Bill Walsh...His tree won ten Superbowls along with his three.
As much as I want Haskins to be successful as one of the few black QBs in the league, he's not ready and just needs more time to develop. Last season screwed him over with him being brought in too early and there wasn't much room for him to make any mistakes this season. Lose Lose situation
Where he is on the depth chart tells you all you need to knowI don't think Haskins is that good
but he didn't play that bad either
Where is all that talent on offense?

yep. came in to address this. Looks like rivera has pulled the plug on haskins. he's getting the RG3 treatment and will be INACTIVE on sunday. and in typical redskin fashion, a story leaks out (at the exact same time) that one of the QB's tested positive for COVID antibodies.
Man I knew these muthafuckas was on some bullshit!!!!
Say goodbye to some draft picks. 
Have they even given Haskins enough weapons at the skill positions besides WR Terry McClaurin?
Damn that look like some Resident Evil type shit.They put my man behind Alex smith and his leg
Not really. The rookie Gibson is decent, but the O-line still isnt great.
some shady shit IMO. haskins has throw THREE ints, (for reference Carson wentz has thrown 7). the three came in that cleveland game. Just had his first career 300yd passing game. problem with the skins is they won't help haskins by RUNNING THE BALL. the leading rusher, Antonio Gibson, has 162 yds thru 4 games. that's roughly 40yds a game. OC Scott Turner is to blame. haskins isn't a bad QB, he simply needs time to develop.Seems like they couldn't wait to pull the plug on him.
They released Adrian Peterson while he's in Detroit producing smh. Lease is short for black QBS smh
