At least, that's how it feels after reading so many of the reactions from pundits about their Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Forget growing pains and adjustments needed thanks to a new offensive line, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator - the fact that the Lions didn't piece it all together in one game means they're back to their haunting 2021-2022 days.
Thankfully for Detroit and for Lions fans, though, that's not at all how the team is feeling as they head into Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. They're ready to clean things up with their communication and missed assignments from Week 1, and are hopeful for a bounce back at home against Ben Johnson.
