The Detroit Lions jumped out to an early 14-0 lead over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, only to see that lead disappear in a heartbeat as the Saints put up 35-straight points on way to a 35-29 win.

Following the game, Lions head coach Matt Patricia spoke to the media and he made an ignorant comment that has ruffled some feathers, including the feathers of former Lions QB, Dan Orlovsky.
“That’s a hard question,” Patricia said, “We just lost to the Saints. Let’s just give them credit for this game, they played extremely well and I know we got a lot of work to do. I think when I came to Detroit, there was a lot of work to do and that’s what we’re trying to do. But, talking about this year, we’re talking about right now, these first four games and obviously today wasn’t good enough.”
On Monday, Orlovsky joined the Key, Jay & Z Show and he called out Patricia for his ignorant comments following the game.
Orlovsky called the comments, “trash” and he called out Patricia for always wanting to point fingers at everyone else and not himself.
Check it out.
“To come in and say that you had a lot of work to do is completely false. It’s a bunch of trash!”

During Patricia’s Monday press conference, he was asked if he wanted to respond to Orlovsky or defend his comment and his answer was pretty much what we have come to expect. Not much of an answer at all.
Check it out.
Nation, should Patricia be given more time to finish all of the ‘work’ that needed to be done when he took over, or should he be fired immediately?
