2388390, the biggest difference i can tell is the mental makeup

The Lions under Schwartz were just as mercurial as he himself was, and they lost 6 games in the 4th qtr last year. Now they have incorporated Caldwell's demeanor and they have won 4 games in the 4th qtr this year. Night and day difference there.

The clock management issues still pop up from time to time (the timeout yesterday with 45 seconds left was pretty silly).

But i think his most pressing order of business is to get Lombardi to get more vertical earlier in the games. The screen/draw shit is just getting hammered to death. In the fourth qtr when they actually start looking down the field, its just chunk after chunk. Gotta open that up earlier.

Overall tho, how could anyone not be happy?
