Detroit Lions: 5 numbers that have to change in 2020

Last word on the 2019 Detroit Lions

These five numbers represent some big areas of need for the Lions and their ability to cover, repair, hide, or just simply improve the talent will likely decide the direction that 2020 takes.

Experts, we fought our urge to put that in quotes, don’t believe in the Lions ability to turn things around; however, some have put them on the shortlist of teams that are due for a playoff berth because of changes.

Until they are lined up against an opponent and they are put into a real football situation, we are simply speculating on how good they will be.

We don’t think that it’s irrational to believe that the moves Bob Quinn made will help, the defense almost doesn’t have anywhere to go but up. The offense with a healthy Stafford, new weapons, and some talent injected into the line should make a move towards being a Top-10 or higher offense.

That is all on paper, though. In the virtual world, they look better but it’s their job to prove to the Motor City’s fans that they should be excited about Lions football. Will we be hurt again or finally be rewarded for our loyalty? Only the players and coaches can decide. Here’s to Lions football in 2020 and changing the things we can…*takes a big swig of blue Kool-Aid*
