There has also been a lot of overreacting about coach Jim Schwartz not having control of the team. Give me a break, please. This is the best coach the Lions have had in decades. Don't try running him out of town. He will handle this. Remember what he inherited. The overall roster is young and immature. And this is his first head coaching assignment. He is learning. Dominic Raiola would know -- remember, he was the one who used to flip off fans, yell and argue with fans, get in ridiculous on-field fights, take late pile-on penalties, etc. It took him a while to grow up. He will help these youngsters grow up much quicker than he himself did.This is fixable, and it has already started with the captains, which is really where most of the "fixing" needs to come from. These penalties are selfish, and hurt the whole team, and can change an entire game (or three, in the case of Suh). Raiola went OFF in the locker room after the game. Kyle Vanden Bosch has been kicking rears this week, guaranteed.
