Fans say:

Lions since they’re about to lose their coordinators

The way this Lions Team plays, to win with this group, it feels now or never. The brightest flames burn out quickest. So as far as NEEDS to win, I think the lions
Johnson, Glenn, and maybe even Fraley could all be gone which really sucks, but it’s the price of success.

The Lions need to catch this lighting in a bottle they got going. Would hate it for them to come-up short and the never reach the same levels of success.

Lions, first time at the dance is hard but it's going to be, potentially, even harder if one or both of the coordinators leave. I love Dan Campbell and my Lions, but they need to at least make the game this year.

With the very likelihood of key coaching staff being poached and the specialness surrounding this group of players, it is truly now or never for Detroit?
