Detroit is exactly where Slowik deserves to be.

Nice hire.

This is my GAP, there are many like it but this one is mine. Without my GAP I am useless, without me, they will run through my GAP. I will protect my GAP and have my brothers back on his. I will not be moved from my GAP, I am a crazed dog that patrols this area and will defeat all who entire it. I own this GAP, it is mine. I bought it with blood and sweat. I will not be pushed. I will not be moved. This Sunday I will make a stand and a statement.

Poor Detroit...

To think they couldn’t have gotten worse only for this to happen.

You took the words right off my screen...

WTF?! Is Detroit trying to shoot the moon AGAIN?!?! Maybe someone should explain to them that NFL is not equal to PGA in that the HIGHEST score wins at the end of the game.

Seriously, though, I hope Slow Bob can do better there than he did here. I mean, WOW. I’m sure there will be folks who say that his system works, just like there are those who make the case that Bates’ system works, but never got a fair shot in Denver. I think one would have a better chance at making the case for Bates than for Slowik, though.
