But the actual fact stays that nearly as good as they\u2019ve been, the Lions are nonetheless a sub .500 crew. Could they make the playoffs? Yes, they might, and primarily based on their remaining schedule, it\u2019s mathematically potential. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">To make this pipedream a actuality, the Lions will doubtless have to run the desk over these remaining 4 weeks of the season to do it. Over the following month, the Lions will play on the Jets and Panthers, dwelling in opposition to the Bears, then shut out the 12 months in Green Bay with the Packers. <\/p>\n<div class=\"bxm4mm-15 BiRlJ\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-0 sc-1atgi65-1 bdNdA-D js_commerce-inset-permalink\" data-inset-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09VHBLV4Y?asc_campaign=InlineMobile&amp;asc_refurl=https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rg3-has-done-lost-his-damn-mind-1849884954&amp;asc_source=&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;tag=kinjadeadspinpromo-20&amp;th=1\" data-inset-category=\"CommerceInsetMobile\">\n<p>G\/O Media might get a fee<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-3 hMBKyp creative-type-A\"><a category=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-1atgi65-4 dxZfFS js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;Click&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rg3-has-done-lost-his-damn-mind-1849884954&quot;],[&quot;ns:unique&quot;,&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;Click&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rg3-has-done-lost-his-damn-mind-1849884954&quot;],[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;CommerceInsetMobile&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09VHBLV4Y?asc_campaign=InlineMobile&amp;asc_refurl=https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rg3-has-done-lost-his-damn-mind-1849884954&amp;asc_source=&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;tag=kinjadeadspinpromo-20&amp;th=1&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09VHBLV4Y?asc_campaign=InlineMobile&amp;asc_refurl=https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rg3-has-done-lost-his-damn-mind-1849884954&amp;asc_source=&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;tag=kinjadeadspinpromo-20&amp;th=1\" data-linktype=\"[t|mod-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-6 gLSKws\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-10 hherpH js_lazy-image\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,fl_progressive,g_center,h_180,q_80,w_320\/915e84a57e58ca65a465380c4290813f.png\" sizes=\"auto, 148px\" alt=\"Samsung 65-Inch 4K OLED Smart TV\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-15 jrXWJC\">\n<p>40% Off<\/p>\n<p>Samsung 65-Inch 4K OLED Smart TV<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-12 dRyRwx\">\n<p class=\"sc-1atgi65-13 iFlqWg\"><strong>TV time<\/strong><br \/><span>This 4K OLED smart TV comes with Alexa built-in, can run Xbox Game Pass, has an incredible picture, and even has Dolby Atmos &amp; Object Tracking Sound too. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Witnessing how the Lions have played lately, a sweep of those teams isn\u2019t out of the question. Still, the Jets are fighting for their own postseason lives in the AFC. They are just a game above .500. This Week 15 matchup between the Lions and Jets will catapult one team into better position to make a postseason push and could all but officially eliminate the other. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">But for Griffin to claim that he doesn\u2019t think teams want to see the Lions in the playoffs is off the mark, nearing the point of asinine, as Stephen A. Smith would say. Detroit is better than they have been in recent years, but nobody should fear them. Should they make the playoffs, it would be as either the sixth or seventh seed, which means they\u2019d play either Minnesota or San Francisco as it currently stands (and even then, I\u2019d take the Vikings in the rubber match). The Lions split with the Vikings after beating them 34-23 on Sunday, and they aren\u2019t traveling to the Bay Area and beating the 49ers. They\u2019ve got no chance in hell there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Detroit making the playoffs would be a fun story, especially after starting the season 1-6 and then turning things around midseason. But let\u2019s not forget these are the same Lions that got shut out by the New England Patriots, 29-0, in Week 5. Detroit has scored a lot of points this year other than that loss, but there have been other times when the offense has struggled to accumulate points. In Week 9, Detroit had trouble reaching 15 points against Green Bay, although they walked away with the victory because the <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kGbjEv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/deadspin.com\/aaron-rodgers-is-washed-let-s-get-that-out-there-sinc-1849750132&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/aaron-rodgers-is-washed-let-s-get-that-out-there-sinc-1849750132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Packers<\/a><\/span> solely scored 9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The Lions have loads of weapons on offense, however no defensive coordinator within the NFC is dropping sleep over going through Jared Goff within the wildcard spherical. So, let\u2019s cease this nonsense RG3 is spewing concerning the Lions and take them for what they&#8217;re. They\u2019ll be a pleasant redemption story in the event that they make the playoffs, however nothing extra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Robert Griffin IIIPhoto: Getty Images As an analyst on TV, that you must be both entertaining, say one thing stunning, or have controversial opinions, however typically they will go a little bit far in making an attempt to make Twitter waves.
