The day after game days, we rise early, jump in our blue-collar vehicles on our way to our blue-collar jobs, listen to sports radio, and mope. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/590\/\">The Fan 590<\/a> is a nice local option if you ever want to join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We didn&#8217;t mope because we lacked faith, or resolve, or work ethic. We moped because our team went out and found a way to break our hearts week after week, season after season, year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2022-2023 season didn&#8217;t start out any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same old Lions (SOL) were on the field for the first half of the season. Over the first 7 weeks, Detroit went 1-6. But then, something started happening. In week 9, the Lions beat the Packers and a little flicker began to appear in the eyes of the populace of Detroit and Windsor (the Lions are an international affair).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, it was 2 more wins, in a nail-biter against NFC North foe Chicago, and with a dominant showing against the ATS hero Giants. At that point, the morning sports show chatter started to turn from \u2018SOL\u2019 to &#8216;Could be real.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, fans were skeptical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Lions fan has been down this road of heartbreak before. I recently watched my dad, a lifelong Lions fan, pass away without ever witnessing the team win a Super Bowl (we rescheduled his funeral around the Lions\u2019 opening day). Hell, even a playoff game now and then would have made him happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not that we didn&#8217;t or don\u2019t want to believe, it&#8217;s just that having that belief potentially &#8211; actually, maybe &#8211; rewarded, is a new concept to Lions fans.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After hanging tight with Buffalo for four quarters before dropping that one by a field goal, the hometown Detroit Lions are now on a two-game win streak with wins against both Jacksonville and NFC North division leader Minnesota (10-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s already a pretty good season based on pre-season expectations but Lions fans want more. Damnit, they <em>need<\/em> more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 4 games left on the schedule, the Detroit Lions are 6-7 straight up, 9-4 against the spread, and in a legit hunt for a wildcard in the NFC playoffs, at least according to Head Coach Dan Campbell. That is a helluva lot more than the Monday morning sports radio crowd has had going around here in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankathon.com\/nfl\/remaining_schedule_strength#:~:text=Remaining%20Schedule%20Strength%20This%20looks%20at%20a%20team%27s,high%20strength%20of%20schedule%20is%20good%20for%20tanking.\">one of the easiest routes to the playoffs by remaining Strength of Schedule<\/a> (opponent win % = .385), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrankings.com\/nfl\/stat\/red-zone-scoring-pct\">a deadly efficient TD% in the offensive red zone<\/a> (75% overall, 90% in the last 3 games), and a defense that\u2019s punching above its weight in December, the Lions are worth talking about as a playoff contender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the sake of long-suffering Detroit Lions fans everywhere, I hope it lasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lions, that&#8217;s right, the Detroit Lions, are fighting for a playoff spot.
