On Paper chugs along as we get to know the Detroit Lions a little more. Sadly, what we’re beginning to find out isn’t all that pleasant. Right now, there isn’t one particular thing that appears to be going right for Detroit. They’ve shown flashes in the run game. They’ve shown flashes in their short-yardage passing game. Hell, they’ve even put up a good defensive performance or two.
But as the data comes in, it’s clear many of these performances were flashes in the pan and not emblematic of who the Lions truly are. Of course, their identity isn’t set in stone.
