If you haven’t made peace with that yet, I urge you to start doing that now. Like the Bobby Layne curse that ended with a bang and left the Lions as the only 0-16 team in NFL history, the Martin Mayhew era certainly had its disastrous end as well. To take a line from the Dark Knight, it’s always the darkest right before the dawn.
It’s now up to the Lions to ensure that the dawn indeed comes. That all starts with the hiring of the right general manager and the right coaching staff. The next step is finding the right players to come in and put the Detroit Lions on the right track.
