...With a record of 2-11, the silver-and-Honolulu blue are firmly entrenched at No. 32 on any power poll in this spiral arm of the galaxy. Entrenched, that is, until another loss drops them behind Ohio State, Florida and the Hamburg Sea Devils. Think it can't get worse? Hey, this is the Lions. NFL schedule makers saw fit to arrange the endgame Kitty Cats' so, so long season likewise: at the Green Bay Packers where the Lions haven't won since a guy named Brett Favre took over there (that's right, 1992); against the Chicago Bears in a game which figures to see Motor City backers immortalize the chant "Fire *&#!!%&ing Millen!"; and at the Dallas Cowboys , who on New Year's Eve will probably looking to bag the No. 2 seed in the NFC... Kevin Jones, who was knocked out of the loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, figures to be out for the remainder of the season... Pro Bowl nominee Shaun Rogers... was slapped by the commissioner after testing positive for steroids. The judgment had Rogers forcibly sitting out four games and giving up $250,000. Naturally, "Big Baby" was innocent, protesting that the positive test represented a product that the 354-pound Rogers used to help him control his weight. Or he has asthma. Or he thought they were Shawne Merriman's Pez. Or something... Team officials announced yesterday that WR Mike Williams - you remember him: the former first-round draft pick cum The Most Useless Player in the NFL Today - flunked a weigh-in. At 240 pounds, Williams only missed the target set by Rod Marinelli and Co. by 20. Though no punitive measures have been mentioned, any punishment would seem pointless other then some quality time on the bench... Fire &#!!%&ing Millen.

Redskins now have the advantage in the NFC (l)East, because they’ve still got two games remaining with the Cowboys.
If the Lions beat Green Bay on Thursday, I think they run the table to get to 9-7, because their schedule is very favorable, and that should be good enough for a Wild Card.
Agreed. Nearly everyone above and below Caldwell in coaching and management has been replaced, and the players have been saying, hey, this is the NFL, it can happen to any of us. And they've been frustrated. Just the act of beating Green Bay, and in Lambeau to boot, destroyed a massive psychological barrier to their winning games, and barring crucial injuries it's easy to believe that they'll pound the crap out of them when they face them at home.
Entire NFC East has a losing record!
Unless there are some real surprises, NE and Carolina will have first round byes and homefield advantage. Some teams (such as those in the NFC East) have a realistic shot at winning their divisions, but that cuts into their ability to make the wild card if they miss. You know how the Cowboys are -- they're like the month of March, if March were the NFL regular season; or maybe they're more like Ohio, high in the middle and...

Matt Millen admits he never should have run a team, apologizes to Lions fans

Too bad Martha wasn’t running things instead of William Clay all these years.
:’)
They handed the game right over. Ridiculous. Everyone in mgmt above and below Caldwell has been sacked, he's next.

*Dallas* beat Washington, rising to 4 and 8, rest of the NFC East is 5-7, it could easily wind up in a four way tie I believe. :’)
