In an effort of solidarity and support for Lion-Fan Luke, the Guys on the Sideline platform started the “Remove the Pencil STAT” hashtag after the Matt Patricia-led Lions, a hapless bunch, posted a goose egg this weekend against the Carolina Panthers.
To make matters worse, the Panthers were led by backup quarterback Phillip Walker. Ever heard of him? Neither had Matt Patricia. And the emerging superstar, hardly, Walker led the 20-point route, 20-0.
Matt Patricia is yet another sterling example of how Bill Belichick’s proteges continue to land head-coaching gigs they are not prepared for. It’s only a matter of time before Patricia is given the boot in Detroit and will likely “come home” to Foxboro like all the other failed coordinators do.
“I’m really worried about my friend, Luke,” said Guys on the Sideline founder JB. “I mean, it’s tough being a Lions fan under Matt Millen, but Matt Patricia might be taking this franchise to a whole new level. Luke, please know that we care about you and will support you in any way possible.”
At press time, it appears that WalterFootball was considering upgrading the dismal “Millen” Grade to the “Matt Patricia Fail” Grade.
