It’s hard to know where to start, so let’s start with this: Your Detroit Lions are terrible.
That’s it.
There’s nothing else to say. Sure, we could look up scores in the history books and find another season opener that was worse than Monday night at Ford Field.
But why?
When all you have to do is ask your father, or your grandfather, and he’ll tell you the same, sad story:
The Lions give you hope, then the Lions lose by 30 against a rookie quarterback.
And even if you haven’t heard that one before, you’ve heard plenty like it.
