Does that final game against the Packers provide a chance for the Lions to avoid running the table in reverse? I thought their best shot would be against the Vikes this weekend, but having blown the fourth quarter lead yesterday, I look ahead to see if there's another opportunity.
Week 15 against the Colts? Nope. No chance. Peyton will eat this defense up and we'll see Jim Sorgi at QB by the second half. Week 16 against the Saints? Ditto with Drew Brees at the helm. But week 17. That's a possibility. Green Bay has been giving up a ton of points and yards lately, especially through the air. With the Pack at 5-8, they'll be officially eliminated from the playoffs before that week 17 game, so they won't really have anything to play for. And to top it all off, Detroit has actually been competitive in their last three divisional games, losing by 2, 4, and 4 points.
If there's any hope at all, it's going to come at Lambeau. Detroit hasn't won there in about a thousand years, but Green Bay is only 3-4 there this year too. I still have hope. But I'm sure not holding my breath.
