Not really. They brought it on themselves. Poor ownership, coaching, and scouting.
And what's worse is they play in the same division as the Patriots. 4 easy wins for them this season. Too bad the Pats weren't in the NFC West. Brady might have been just as good but he would have been a lot more bruised up.
Boldin was a warrior. All respect to him!

WR Anquan Boldin will reportedly retire
BY SAM MONSON
Long-time veteran WR
Anquan Boldin has reportedly left the
Buffalo Bills and retired from the NFL. Boldin played 28 snaps against Philadelphia in his first preseason action for the Bills, saw three targets and caught just one pass for five yards, but he retires after a storied career as one of the best possession receivers of his era.
Boldin caught
66.0 percent pf the passes thrown his way over the past eleven seasons, and had six years with double-digit broken tackles with the ball in hand, including 27 across 83 receptions back in 2006.
Boldin’s overall
PFF grade had been steadily declining over the past few seasons from a high of 88.4 in 2013, but he walks away without ever posting a grade below 70.0 (average) over a full season. He also had the highest WR rating (the passer rating when targeting an individual receiver) on the Detroit Lions roster last season (114.0).
