The Detroit Lions, as well as the rest of the NFL, continue their virtual offseason in hopes that when training camp does open, they will be ready. In the case of the Honolulu Blue and Silver, winning would also mean self-preservation for general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia.
The Lions offseason has been intensely scrutinized by the experts, the media and the fans. The vast majority consider Detroit’s moves to be positive. Some, like ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, think otherwise completely.
At the end of last season’s 3-12-1 debacle, Lions fans were ready for Martha Firestone Ford to toss Quinn and Patricia into the nearest garbage receptacle.
