*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. :’)

Eliminated from NFC Wild Card Race: Detroit and San Francisco

Eliminated from AFC Wild Card Race: Baltimore, San Diego, and Tennessee have joined Cleveland

[SunkenCiv]

After toying with us, and appearing to be on the march for a wild card spot (and with help, they could have won the division if they’d had even one more win in the first half of the season), then choking right at the moment of truth, they’re now doing that really annoying thing they do, coming on late and giving us hope for next year.

There is no hope for next year.

Accept that, and you’ve got a shot at being pleasantly surprised.

Calvin Johnson is obviously quite near the end of his career. Given the need for room under the salary cap, the Lions may try to deal him out while he still has perhaps one more season in him. What team that may be a Superbowl contender next season needs a future hall of famer receiver and/or has room in their budget?

Dealing Suh to the Dolphins was a great move for the Lions and not such a good move for Miami. Remember years ago, the A.C. Carter NFL draft pick? Kiss it, Dolphins.

The Lions still need an O-line. Simply put, they don’t have it. They’ve always tried changing QBs in such situations, and that hasn’t worked. They need to put together a mixture of early round draft picks and experienced but aging veterans. Give Stafford the time, and rid the team of the ruse of maybe-he’ll-throw-to-Calvin (because no one is buying it anymore), and they’ll get a dozen or so more first downs and win some games.
