    How predictive were poor preseason performances in 2017? Let’s just say it. That was likely the worst Detroit Lions preseason performance we’ve seen in some time... maybe ever. From Game 1 to Game 4 Frank Ragnow Jersey , the highlights were few and far between, and the Lions looked overmatched in just about every single quarter of every single game. They were outscored 111-77. They were outgained 1401-1125. And the differences were even more drastic when you focus on the players that actually may still be around next week. In the first halves of each game, the Lions were outscored 68-16. The Lions’ first string offense scored a total of nine points in eight drives, while the starting defense gave up 31. But how much should the Lions be worried? Backup quarterback Matt Cassel knows the preseason can be very misleading. “I’ve been through a lot of different preseasons over my 14-year career. There has been teams where we are 0-4 and look like a disaster and we end up going 11-5,” Cassel said after Thursday’s loss to the Browns.And he isn’t exaggerating. In 2008, the New England Patriots went 0-4 in the preseason, getting outscored 89-56 in four games. During the regular season, even after losing Tom Brady in the first game of the regular season, Cassel still led the Patriots to an 11-5 season (though, they actually missed the playoffs that year).And just looking at last year, performances varied wildly from preseason to regular season.The Lions’ defense was especially bad this preseason, so let’s take a look at the really bad defenses from the 2017 preseason. Here are the bottom five in terms of scoring defense:32. Patriots (31.5 PPG)31. Chargers (25.8 PPG)30. Giants (24.8 PPG)29. Dolphins (24.5 PPG)28. 49ers (23.8 PPG)Now let’s look at where those five teams finished in the regular season:Patriots: 5th (+27), 18.5 PPG (-13)Chargers: 3rd (+28), 17.0 PPG (-8.8)Giants: 27th (+3), 24.2 PPG (-0.3)Dolphins: 29th (no change), 24.6 PPG (+0.1)49ers: 25th (+3), 23.9 PPG (+0.1)You can see there’s very little correlation. While the Dolphins and 49ers finished with similar stats in the regular season, the Patriots and Chargers were far better in the regular season. Now let’s look at the best five defenses from the 2017 preseason:1. Browns (7.2 PPG)2. Ravens (8.0 PPG)3. Saints (10.2 PPG)4. Broncos (12.5 PPG)5. Seahawks (14.0 PPG)And how did those teams finish in the regular season?Browns: 31st (-30) http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-tavon-wilson-jersey ;, 25.6 PPG (+18.4)Ravens: 6th (-4), 18.9 PPG (+10.9)Saints: 10th (-7), 20.4 PPG (+10.2)Broncos: 22nd (-18), 23.9 PPG (+11.4)Seahawks: 13th (+8), 20.8 PPG (+6.8)All five teams clearly game up a lot more points per game during the regular season. And while some remained a top 10 defense, others fell significantly. That’s all to say, the preseason holds almost no predictive value for regular season defensive performances. Of course, that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be some worries. The Lions didn’t get much inspiring play from the players they expect to be starters. Detroit didn’t have a cornerback not named Darius Slay play well during the entire preseason. The defense didn’t notch its second sack of the preseason until there was only two minutes left in the finale. The offensive line depth looks much thinner than previously hoped. And hopeful candidates to improve this year—Jarrad Davis, A’Shawn Robinson, Teez Tabor and Michael Roberts—have all severely underwhelmed this August. These are all legitimate concerns to have entering the 2018 season, but what’s important is that the concerns going in are not always the concerns coming out. Let’s hope this is the case moving forward. The Lions offense was really missing a spark on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. That spark was Golden Tate. The Lions offense struggled against the Seahawks in Week 8, but what kept them alive in so many cases was Golden Tate. You could argue that the day would have been so much more worse for Stafford and company if they didn’t have the ultimate safety valve in Tate, who caught seven passes for 50 yards and helped convert two third downs.Just before the trade deadline, the Lions decided to trade Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round pick. This was a move that obviously came with a lot of hurt feelings from the fans and stunned players in the locker room. But in the end, it seemed like the right thing to do for the future. But as the Lions went into Minnesota on Sunday, we saw that this trade was going to do a lot more to hurt today’s team than some believed. After the game, it seemed like the Lions were doing everything they can to put on a happy face and act like it wasn’t a big deal. “He’s a good player, but he’s not on our team.” This was Matthew Stafford’s response when asked about Tate after the game. Matthew got sacked 10 times in this game. There’s a lot of blame to go around for that. Some of it had to do with the Lions’ offensive line http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-glover-quin-jersey ;, and a lot of it had to do with Matthew himself. One of the clear-cut reasons Stafford was hit so many times is because he lost his check-down opiton. No matter what kind of trouble Stafford was in, Golden Tate would be right there to dig him out of it. A check-down to Tate is no normal check-down, Tate was able to take a normal looking dump-off and turn it into so much more. On Sunday, it seemed like Stafford was looking for Tate out there on the field, or at least looking for someone to take Tate’s place. Nobody could do that. It led to Stafford hanging on to the ball too long. In some cases, it led to Stafford trying to do too much, like the fumbled pitch to Kerryon Johnson.It seems crazy to think that a team could fall off so badly after losing just one player, and so many fans convinced themselves that wasn’t a big deal. I think the Lions themselves tried to do that, too.After the game, still, Lions head coach Matt Patricia assured the media that they were comfortable without Tate, because they knew they had a lot of good players on the roster. The team repeated a similar mantra all week and will likely continue to after this. One has to wonder if this is the kind of move that will someday be referred to as one of the many reasons general manager Bob Quinn is on the hot seat. I would certainly say it’s not fair to put him there now based on his draft record and some of the signings and trades he’s made. It really looks like the Lions have an actual plan, for once, that doesn't just include “maybe next year.” But if everything fails, we may look back on the Tate trade, and this game will serve as a reminder of where it all started to go wrong. The Lions and Bob Quinn will no one to blame but themselves, even if they did spend most of the time saying it was alright.
