Does Matt Patricia deserve blame for the Detroit Lions’ conservative, efficient offense?

We all love ourselves a scapegoat. Problems seem much more simple and solvable if there’s one person at the root of the issues.

Things are rarely that simple, however, and when things are going wrong in any facet of life, there are likely a ton of different factors contributing to said failure.

The Detroit Lions’ offense is failing right now, and while we can all agree that poor quarterback play and limited personnel have contributed to that as of late, coaching has taken the brunt of the criticism, and for good reason. Detroit’s gameplan is lacking in innovation and the results speak for themselves.
