A new day sometimes brings a new perspective.
So, in examining the Detroit Lions’ 30-27 victory over Washington 24 hours after the game, here are a few thoughts on what that win means heading into this week’s road game against the Carolina Panthers.
Are Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn safe?
Yes, at least through Thanksgiving and probably longer. No one’s going to get fired no matter what happens in Carolina on Sunday with the team’s annual national showcase game four days later.
In the unlikely scenario the Lions lose the next two games, it still doesn’t make much sense to fire anyone with five games left –— unless a goal is to appease sportswriters and the torch-bearing, angry villagers.
