There’s a certain repetitiveness right now to Matt Patricia’s news conferences. He’s constantly saying the Detroit Lions need to play better — and need to be coached better.
Unless the second half of the season goes better than the first, Patricia might not be doing the coaching next year. The Lions lost 34-20 to Minnesota on Sunday, stumbling to the midway point with a 3-5 record.
Even though Detroit is in the middle of a comparatively easy stretch in the schedule, the Lions haven’t been able to make a real push, and Patricia’s third season as coach isn’t going much differently than his first two so far.
