Lions' GM Bob Quinn
Sorry, but the Lions are hopeless. Rebuilding? Please. There have been decades of rebuilding.
Now, like most Lions seasons, things have collapsed. The bad news: The season isn't over yet.
Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News points a finger at the top:
Matthew Stafford looks lost. The offensive line looks awful. The defense looks scarcely capable of doing its job. Now there’s only one place to point, directly at the bosses, first-year head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn. In a third straight double-digit blowout, 34-22, to the Bears on Sunday, Patricia gave little indication he’s in command of the situation, or knows how to fix it.
We can keep picking apart SOL (Same Old Laments), it just gets redundant. Stafford was pressured and scattered again, sacked six times (down from 10 a week ago) and threw two interceptions. The defense, missing cornerback Darius Slay, was bewildered, as if it had no idea what to do. Mitch Trubisky led the Bears to touchdowns on their first four drives and it was 26-0 before anyone’s tootsies had a chance to freeze.
