Do you still want the Lions to make the playoff ?

[Wazmankg]

After what you've seen the past several weeks, do you still want the Lions to make the playoffs ? It's still a very real possibility. We win out, Bears lose in Philly and then beat the Pack in Chicago and we're in. As much as I'd like to see a Lions playoff game in Detroit, I say no. Not this year. I think it would insure at least another year under Schwartz and I'd rather take this step back and move forward with a new regime.


Damn typo and I can't edit the poll question. Anyway, state your case.

Yes.

Wanting and thinking they will are two different things.

 

[RobBase]

My soul is incapable of cheering against my team. I want them to win every game.

 

[Old Lion]

I just look at it as a no lose situation. If we make the playoffs, then great. If not, then Shwartz and Co are gone. Its a win/win. I will take either.

What would not be acceptable is not making the playoffs and then Shwatrz and Co not getting the boot.

I'm not going to root for them to lose. I'd just rather the Bears & Pack both win this week and put us out of our misery and clear the path for a new coaching staff.

Playoffs and then some type of changes. If they're going to keep Schwartz they had better get some new coordinators.

 

[broncosmitty]

I selected Yes. But woulda selected Fuck Yeah! If that'd been an option.

But we don't even know if Schwartz and co would even be fired if they don't make the playoffs. Sure, it would be necessary but this organization doesn't always do what the fans want. It would need to happen though, even of we did make the playoffs.

Lovie Smith got canned after a 10 win season, what or who's to say Schwartz is safe even if he wins out at 9-7?

Its been reported that the brass has stated he needs to make the playoffs or he is out.

Great to hear. Link? I'm too lazy to look.

 

[LPinSLC]

I'll look for it. Thinking Rotoworld though.

According to the NFL Network, the Lions need to make the playoffs in order for coach Jim Schwartz to keep his job.

Monday night's home loss to the Ravens could be the nail in Schwartz's coffin. In order to make the playoffs, the Lions will need to win out and have both the Packers and Bears lose at least one game. Schwartz's team has dropped four of their last five games and are 7-7 on the season, leaving his career mark at just 29-49. He's made the playoffs once since taking over in 2009. Dec 17 - 7:51 AM

Good. There's too much mutha fickin talent on this team to waste it away not even making the playoffs.

 

[themuzzer]

The good news is they play each other the last game......So if one loses this week we know who were rooting for the following week.

This is providing we can win out.

How about they both lose this week and tie the next.

Works for me, but alittle far fetched, but I would take it if the Lions win out.

Far fetched was intended. I guess I could have said they both forfeit that last game?
