NFL Clinching Scenarios

[Jimbo]

I think it's a team that won 3-4 games last year with big comebacks and thought they were a "10 win team on the cusp" of the Super Bowl the team did not draft on need this past season.

They are a four win team and watching the way they had played this year they are who they are...with all respect to Dennis Green

Team could look very different next season with 25 free agents on the roster right now

They didn't Win 6 games last year on LUCK.

Ah yes the good old days of 8-8 ad 9-7 how spoiled where we

Ummm, Satjay ....
8 wins a year is NOT being SPOILED ... just ask a playoff team.

I think that your sarcasm meter needs a tune-up.

Back then when the Lions were winning 7,8 or 9 games felt like we were spoiled compared to the last ten years or so

No..but they had three wins that they had major comebacks to win games and I think the ten wins really inflated there egos last season.

Who woulda thunk we Lions fans would be looking back to the Wayne Fontes era as being the "Golden Era" of Lions football over the past half century. I think I may have to jump off the Belle Isle Bridge the next time I'm in town. Oh the pain, the pain, the shame, the shame. (what Dr. Zachary Smith would say if he were a Lions fan)

Anyway, it looks like the Giants have taken step one with their leading the Eagles 28-7 going into halftime. Still, they need Dallas, Minnesota and Chicago to lose.

- Chicago is leading Detroit 20-10 at halftime with Detroit scoring a TD just before half.
- Minnesota is hosting Green Bay later this afternoon.
- Dallas is on the road at Washington this evening.

Yup, the Giants are doing their part, but it certainly doesn't look good for Big Blue with the goings on in Detroit.

Also, if the Bears score holds up, it makes that Packers-Vikings game quite interesting!

Lions have scored again and they are down 20-17 and have the ball. Never mind...they just fumbled.

Tigers roar, Bears growl, and Lions find a way to lose. The Giants are eliminated; Chicago will advance if the Minnesota loses; Vikings will advance if they win.

As usually, this is how we Lions fans put each and every season into perspective...we cheer for the Red Wings and wait for baseball season. If it weren't for the Wings and Tigers...well, we would be Cleveland.
