Total breakdown on the Lions on Football Outsiders. (they are kind of a SABR for football)
Excerpt:
Still, if you’re a Lions fan reading this, you can’t help smiling. You’ve spent years thinking about coaching changes, quarterbacking issues, front office drama, porous –- oh ever so porous -– defense, and an underlying lack of talent throughout the roster. It must be nice to read that your team’s biggest problem is "discipline."
Pretty comprehensive breakdown that amounts to a middling result. The Lions, according to Andy Benoit, are a great mystery that will come down to individual performance
