Allen Park — It doesn’t take regression analysis for most Lions fans to understand another frustrating start to an NFL season in Detroit.
The Lions losing is the dependent variable. And the independent variables typically are too numerous to count — the coaching, the injuries, the quarterback, the penalties and so on — so most fans are conditioned to just to throw up their hands and decide the Lions lose because they are the Lions.
That’s often impossible to argue, and coming off another brutal effort Sunday in Chicago, so are the reasons to think Jim Caldwell has much chance, if any, to be this team’s head coach beyond 2016.
