They aren't going to need luck next week.The Luck Birds are gonna find luck. Not looking forward to next week's game.

It's ridiculous to expect an injured player to perform at 100%. However Baker clearly needs to take a week off at least he's too beat upI know Mayfield is hurt and I suspect he's hurt far more than he's actually letting on.
But if you're on the field, you have to perform. Period. No excuses.
Not injuries. Not penalties. Not poor performance by teammates. If you're on the field, you have to play to the best of your ability or you're gonna justifiably get heat.
Yeah, we know that. Ad nauseam.But if you're on the field, you have to perform. Period. No excuses.
Don't forget the terrible offensive line playWon in spite of Baker today. That was a shitshow of a game.
Almost lost to the Lions with their backup QB

Ya weve already seen Baker play through it, we've seen it before. When he can't play and is hurting the team the novelty of "he's actually going out there!" Is gone and you kinda just want to winHe said Baker won hearts on the team with his performance. He played Tom Boyle to a draw. I imagine his teammates wish he would sit down.
You can not blame Mayfield for wanting to be on the field. If he begged out when he can possibly hobble his ass out there then he has the wrong disposition for an NFL player.I know Mayfield is hurt and I suspect he's hurt far more than he's actually letting on.

I thought so, but couldn't tell if that's just Campbell's styleOther thing to consider...not sure the Lions were terribly interested in winning this game. If they were, they would have gone for it on that 4th down and 1 instead of kicking the field goal.
Yeah, we know that. Ad nauseam.
That doesn't have to be the singular focus of every discussion, though. That's where people in this thread are like... "Dude, do you talk about anything else???"
He is actually hurting the team though. Baker needs to have awareness of his own limits. Stefanski should definitely pull him, but to act like Baker needs to make decisions on his health as if he were some fringe NFL player is goddamn ridiculous.You can not blame Mayfield for wanting to be on the field. If he begged out when he can possibly hobble his ass out there then he has the wrong disposition for an NFL player.
If Mayfield is hurting the team the way you say he is, then you absolutely should blame Stefanski for allowing him to continue playing hurt.
Yeah I'm gonna call BS on that.There's nothing else to discuss after a game like this.
He should have been off since the Broncos game. We would still be 2-2 at minimum, and he would be getting healthy.It's ridiculous to expect an injured player to perform at 100%. However Baker clearly needs to take a week off at least he's too beat up
