We match up with the entire NFL. Lions are a more experienced team in the North.
Out coached or out schemed I ‘m not in that boat. I feel this coaching staff has done amazing things with such a young team. And three 13 win seasons in a row back that up.
Then to make the play offs in 2023 and 24 with nine and then eleven wins with the youngest team in the NFL is a huge deal.
So enough of that.

The biggest difference is coming from within. Look at the second third year players coming back with starting experience.
Now add another draft class to fill at minimum depth that killed the team in their final game two years in a row.

This young team and coaching staff played the eventual Super Bowl winner better than any other team.

So maybe look at what are huge pluses instead of wondering what’s wrong.
Because there really isn’t anything other than Fan anxiety.
