Great job, Lions. You couldn't beat a team with a poor offense that was additionally without its RB1 and RB2. This brings my season tally for changed picks to 0-4-1, because I stuck with the Giants despite changing to the Titans during the draft of today's earlier post. This season keeps getting worse for me.

Aaron Rodgers' interception-free streak came to an end on a deflected pass targeted at Jimmy Graham who couldn't bring in the catch, so the NFL record stands at 402 attempts now. Said interception also buried the playoff chances of the Packers, because otherwise they would have made it a one score game with a good three minutes and three timeouts left to go. But the Vikings won their game, so even a Packers win wouldn't have helped much as the Vikings would have had to lose their last two games, including one against the Lions who can't even beat a team without an offense. Gosh, do the Lions suck.

Well the Lions mailed it in when they got rid of Golden Tate which didn't help the Eagles either both teams will end up with a bad season.

As a Lions fan I don't think they mailed it in with the Tate trade. Don't get me wrong, Tate was a consistent performer and a legit No 1 receiver on a week to week basis BUT they had an emerging Kenny Golladay (dude's a beast) and Marvin Jones on the outside. I think they felt that TJ Jones would perform better than he has as a WR3 so they let Tate go early and at least got something from it. Unfortunately, not only has TJ Jones been a huge disappointment but they lost Marvin Jones to injury and then they lost Kerryon who was having a great rookie year on the ground. So instead of going from 4 big offensive threats to 3 and 1 competent one they went from 4 big threats to 1 and a bunch of scrubs (except maybe Theo Riddick). Also their O Line has been shit since Lang went down so Stafford gets half a second before he's smashed into the dirt. There was seriously like 5 plays where a Bills defender was in the backfield before Stafford could even hand off the ball for a running play!
