I bought into the hype. I still want to, too. I don't want to believe that the Lions will continue to struggle. I want to believe that the coaching staff has answers to address what's going wrong.

Defense has been sort of a mixed bag. I had hoped to see it set the world on fire, but so far, I'm not really sure I think it's gotten much better despite a lot more talent being added. We even added veteran talent, and fewer rookies are starting than last year.

What's going on? Do you have any answers, or are you at a loss? I'd really like to know why we can't get to the passer; why our secondary looks overmatched; and, why we are letting 28 points get scored per game?
