Lions mailbag: Looking at expectations for Year 2 and Aidan Hutchinson in Honolulu blue

With a little extra time following the team's annual Thanksgiving Day game, it seemed like a good opportunity to knock out a Detroit Lions mailbag. So what's on your mind?

u25ba Question. What are reasonable expectations for year two? — @JohnHowell77

u25ba Answer. The Lions had a reasonable chance to win seven of their 11 games this season.

Outside of Week 1 against San Francisco, where some late scoring made it look closer than it was, Week 2 against Green Bay when the Packers weathered an unexpectedly impressive start and pulled away the final two quarters and blowouts against Cincinnati and Philadelphia, Detroit has been close in the remaining contests.
