Since 2019 they've played in 12 playoff games. It can take it's toll. It hasn't with KC, but KC has done a better job of cycling players out for new players. SF is just wore down. So many injuries. Plus contract holdouts with key players. It all adds up. That's why the Lions window is pretty short with another couple of years. The lovefest won't continue forever, you're going to end up with guys who start holding out and complaining about this and that. They key is drafting. I trust Brad Holmes with this. If he keeps drafting the way he has, the team should always be relevant. If Brad Holmes keeps doing this, we'll think of 10-7 or 9-8 as a terrible season.
