The Detroit Lions may have had the most disappointing Week 1 performance of any team in the NFL. Losing to the Green Bay Packers on the road is not alarming in a vacuum, but getting thoroughly beaten on both sides of the ball is so concerning that many Lions fans are setting off alarms.
Some questioned if Dan Campbell would be able to field a contending team after losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, and the snap judgment after Week 1 would say that the answer is a firm no. As such, a media landscape that had the Lions as a contender has now snapped back to reality and dropped them down a peg or two.
