Matt Patricia Coaching Career Could Officially Start Against The Kansas Chiefs

Detroit Lions Head Coach Matt Patricia Coaching Career just very well begin against the Kansas Chiefs on Sunday! That is in many peoples’ minds, the rocket science major, from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and former New England Patriots defensive coordinator has yet to prove that he’s an actual head coach that can get his team to play beyond their talents and beat teams that without his coaching they would likely lose to. That’s the criteria that many use as a basis to become a NFL head coach of note. Well this game against Kansas City is the litmus test, but even if shows he’s more of Bill Belichick than he’s similiar to others from the Belichick coaching tree who haven’t necessarily had the best coaching careers, people are waving the caution flag on believing the Lions are poised to have their own version of Tom Brady “like” led team who become consistent winners from here on, take a look…

DETROIT: Lions off to the start Stafford and Patricia needed…

For some franchises, being undefeated through three games seems almost routine.

The Detroit Lions are not one of those teams. Coach Matt Patricia and quarterback Matthew Stafford were under pressure to show signs of progress in 2019, and so far they’re delivering.

“There’s great teams every week, and things can go either way pretty quickly, but I think the group’s working really hard,” Patricia said. “I think they’re trying to do everything they can the right way. We’ve got a long way to go.”

Stafford has put up big numbers at times in his career, but he’s been dogged by the team’s inability to beat top competition, especially on the road.

So Sunday’s 27-24 win at Philadelphia resonates. Although the Eagles were short-handed because of injuries, they’re still less than two years removed from a Super Bowl title.

Patricia took over the Lions before last season and the team went 6-10. It wasn’t a particularly great year for Stafford, and when Detroit blew a fourth-quarter lead in its 2019 opener at Arizona, settling for a tie, it was easy to envision another dreary campaign. The next three games were against the Chargers, Eagles and Chiefs, all playoff teams last season.

Well, the Lions (2-0-1) have won the first two games of that stretch. They led 27-17 in the fourth quarter at Philadelphia before giving up a touchdown and having a field goal blocked. A couple of crucial penalties on the Eagles helped Detroit hold on.

It was a shaky finish, but if the Lions can keep winning games such as that, it will go a long way toward winning over an understandably skeptical fanbase.

A few words of caution: The previous time Detroit was unbeaten through three games was in 2011, when the Lions started 5-0 and looked poised for an extended stretch of success with Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh. Detroit ended up going 10-6 that season, lost its postseason opener and didn’t make the playoffs again until three years later.

So for many here in Detroit, Matt Patricia Coaching Career starts if he wins against Kansas City; infact the National Football League will have to truly take notice. Some feel it’ll be a statement game that the Lions have officially arrived…with just a little caution as stated above.

We beileve the Lions coach has the team formed in his image and as the season goes on you’ll see more and more of fundamentally sound schematic football, both on the sideline and in between the lines.

Brace yourself…these may not be the Lions of old!
