When you let your two best offensive linemen slip away and make a colossal error in assessing your two top drafted replacements - and that on the heels of letting your # 2 receiver walk the year before (I realize he wanted to be the man, but he's not the man in Detroit, and you just make an offer the guy can't refuse), you're going to go down the poop chute like greased lightning.

That's what we did and that's what happened.  

There's no offensive scheme that will survive that.  And it will take more than 1 year of better management to reverse the losses, which is why (I believe) Lewis was signed for 2 years.

Just blame Mike Brown, that's what I do.
