Well, the Detroit Lions crapped the bed AGAIN on Thanksgiving Day, this time getting embarrassed by the Houston Texans.
Following the game, media members took to Twitter to throw shade at Lions head coach Matt Patricia.
Our Detroit Lions Team was better with Jim Caldwell 🤷🏾♂️

This is loss No. 29 in Matt Patricia's Lions tenure of two-plus seasons.
Jim Caldwell, in four seasons, lost 28 games for the Lions.

#Lions embarrassed at home 41-25 by the #Texans Sure, injuries were a factor coming in, but this was not what I would call a big time effort. And the unforgivable decisions continued, like running clock out before half only to not try a long FG with Prater and Cabinda 4th and 1

9-7 wasn't good enough. Bob Quinn said it. Most of us agreed.
Three years in, Matt Patricia needs five straight wins to finish the 2020 season 9-7.
