An open apology to Scott Linehan

Dear Scott Linehan, (cc: joelombardi@whatareyou.doing)

It wasn't you, it was me. I apologize for all of the blame I placed on you when things fell apart. I was wrong, ignorant and even a little bit spoiled. You see, I'm not used to seeing the Detroit Lions have a top-five offense. But I sure as hell know what it's like to have a mediocre one.

I was frustrated to see all of the predictable shotgun draws on first-and-10 that you were so prone to calling. I hated that your offenses could put up an abundance of yards on the opposing team, just to settle for a field goal or nothing at all.
