Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions are struggling. They are 1-4 on the season and looking at similar results to last year which is disheartening considering they thought they’d really improved in the offseason.

The Lions got ROUTED on Sunday by the Patriots who had their backup quarterback in action. Dan Campbell’s team lost 29-0 to Matt Patricia and the Patriots. And afterward, the Lions head coach attempted to put the loss in perspective and it got dark.

Campbell said “Look, you just you be honest with them. You tell them exactly what it is. To me, it’s about as bad as it gets. This is the worst. This is where we’re at. And sometimes, it’s going to get bad before it gets better. And, I believe we hit rock bottom. So now, the only place to go is back up.”

Dan Campbell has won over a lot of Lions fans with his words but that has yet to translate into results on the field. It appears he’s starting to lose the optimism of some fans, at least based on Twitter…

They are down bad:

The Detroit Lions now have a bye before facing the Cowboys, Dolphins, Packers, and Bears. They’ll be lucky to get one win out of that given their recent results.
