The clock is ticking down on the Detroit Lions season despite the assurances that they are still mathematically alive for the playoffs at the moment.
But let’s be honest, the season is over, there will be no playoffs and the tired old refrain of wait until next year is already ringing throughout Detroit and wherever else Lions fans may be licking their wounds.
Because of expectations raising so high after the Matt Patricia hiring, this season has seemed extra brutal to Lions fans everywhere. It has made former head coach Jim Caldwell almost look like Vince Lombardi by comparison.
