Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez answers three questions, after the Detroit Lions' 24-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Are the Lions trying to tank?
I don’t know if they are, but I don’t think the players purposely laid down. They were simply beaten by a superior team, their own flaws and poor coaching. But hey, since general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia are apparently all about the future, then why not tank? What’s the point of this season if you just got rid of your most productive receiver so that you might draft a Tracy Walker-caliber player next year?
