“I think more than anything maybe it’s time for a deep dive,” Dan Campbell said about his defense after the Seattle Seahawks beat the Lions, 48-45, on Sunday.

Another is to push the entire defense into the deep end and hope some of the stink washes off.

The Lions are in such a strange position. They have a fantastic offense, which scored 45 points while missing several of their playmakers.This team won’t win four games this year if it doesn’t fix its defense.“Listen, it’s frustrating” Campbell said. “It’s frustrating and I have nobody to blame but myself. So, I’ll — that’s on me to handle that and can’t keep saying that, can’t keep writing that, can’t keep — so, there again I’ll look at everything. It is frustrating.

Because the stakes are enormous — the length of this rebuild, the direction of this organization and even how long Campbell has a job could hinge on what he decides.Or just a few stops.It’s hard to make wholesale changes during an NFL season.
