I am watching the Lions and I feel like they are built for Dec -Jan.
So as hard as this is to say, I have a feeling they have a pretty good shot to make the Championship game. From there its anyones guess.
Thoughts?

In as much as the answer is an emphatic NO I am afraid we will end up at the top especially with the 49ers and Eagles both losing. The Lions now have the same rocord as both of them. 
When you think of the fact that the Lions lost to the Seahawks in OT it makes their record more impressive

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I think they've got a puncher's chance. Especially in a game per game playoff format.

They're playing well right now. Will they at the end? Maybe. Worst part about that roster (for Viking fans) is that it's very young and should only get better.

I don’t give any amount of shits about that list.  I feel like we already are on top of the misery
lists based on the collective amount of time all our teams have spent since
their last championship appearance.

I’d much rather have other fellow misery teams win big then
see one of the teams with multiple Lombardi’s have to get a bigger cabinet to
fit them all in.

Actually didn't the Lions lose to the Redskins in the 1991 NFC TITLE GAME?   or is this the last time the teams actually won it?   The original post was that they MAKE the NFCCG.

I know, but if they make it then they are only 60 minutes from going to the bottom of the list.And now I'm kind of siding with Medaille.

I agree they are playing well but also outside of KC missing Kelce and dropping balls left and right, they have beaten Atlanta, Green Bay, Carolina and Tampa.  Which is not exactly murderer's row.  

Their schedule is really soft so I figure they are good for 12-13 wins at this point.  They would need HFA to make the SB I think as I can't see them taking a road playoff game at San Francisco or Philadelphia.
