I’ve seen it and heard it all before. And my reaction stays the same. No, the Detroit Lions shouldn’t tank their season.
For the noobs, tanking means to lose on purpose. To do so you can’t make it painfully obvious. That means playing undrafted free agents, conservative playcalling, etc. Plenty of Lions fans have this hunch the team isn’t trying to win. Just stop it!
It’s ridiculous to think a rookie head coach like Matt Patricia, who’s so used to winning (former defensive coordinator with the New England Patriots), would deliberately fail his team.
