DETROIT -- Jim Caldwell described it better than anyone.
For a stretch of Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions were “inept” offensively. They couldn’t block. They couldn’t move. They couldn’t score. They really could do nothing right.
It was evident in the numbers -- seven yards of offense in the second and third quarters.
All of this has left the Lions looking for answers during this 1-6 start and saying similar things over and over again about having to fix it and needing to get better.
The problem is, after a brief offensive surge last week against Chicago, it was back to the same old inconsistency on Sunday against Minnesota.
