A day after announcing that both Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn were being retained for the 2020 season, Detroit Lions ownership published an open letter to the fans. As you will see in a moment, that letter has not exactly gone over well with the fans.

Now for some of the best reactions, we have seen up to this point.
"Our team has played hard and well enough to be very competitive." 🤣

“Playoffs contenders in 2020.” Yeah not with this defense.

This is genuinely a good letter to the fans, but let's not lie and say that you are "working to make the Lions a consistently winning team."
Because every single decision you have made would show differently.

Stop lying to us. Nothing in the first 3 paragraphs is remotely true. Lower concessions, you steal enough from us every Sunday

“We also believe the best teams in our league have stability in leadership” ….. where exactly has stability in ownership and cronies of that ownership gotten this franchise? As this letter is penned by a family member and personal accountant of that ownership family. FOH 🤡

Honestly, Nation, these replies go on and on and on and they are almost all the same message.
Detroit Lions fans are not happy and the open letter from Lions ownership did nothing to help the cause.
