...no they don't don't.

Detroit has a legit shot at the #2 seed. If you think the Lions have a realistic chance to catch the Cowboys with games at Dallas and New York, as well as a finale against a suddenly hot Green Bay, then you either have some fantastic drugs or you're brimming with a level of optimism that even Dory could never hope to match.

Guess we'll have to wait and see, never said it was going to be easy but only a crazy person would think the Gaints and Dallas are unbeatable. Green Bay always makes me nervous but since the game is in Detroit and not Lambeau I think the Lions can still win.

I don't think either of those teams is unbeatable; I simply think that the Lions' situation represents a near impossibility at a #1 seed. If they were tied with Dallas in the standings, sure, they'd have a genuine shot. But Detroit is two games back, with what is quite possibly the toughest schedule left in the league for a non AFC West team. The Lions basically have to win all of their games and hope Dallas slips up somewhere along the way too. I don't see that happening.
