The Detroit Lions aren’t vying for a playoff berth these final three weeks of the season. Sunday’s loss in St. Louis guaranteed that, along with the team’s 13th losing season over the last 15 years.
There will be a new permanent general manager when the season ends, and potentially a new head coach, but the roster that will be inherited isn't devoid of young, talented players.
The Lions have some nice young players coming into their own. There’s just not enough of them, at least not enough of them right now, to outweigh some of the holes in the roster.
