Obviously, a letter from Martha Ford isn’t going to fix this season at all, but at least she acknowledges what a disaster it’s been.

It’s not perfect, but I’d say it’s a step in the right direction after entering the season with expectations so high.

Frankly, I’m just tired of losing. I’m tired of believing the hype. I know I should, and I recognize that’s on me.

At the same time, there’s no excuse for how bad Detroit has been for so long. We’re an NFL team, and we resemble a joke more times than not.

Eventually, enough just has to be enough.

Let’s hope Martha and the other people in charge do whatever is necessary for 2020 to be a much better year for the Lions.

If not, then serious changes are going to have to be made.
