I think we just passed the point where my fear of the #Lions at some point in the future has been swamped by my sympathy for their franchise. They had such a great season, they don't deserve to end it here. (Except, you know, they totally contributed to their own demise tonight!) 
@acm_redfox i was worried about playing them until I watched last night. They simply ran out of players. I find it interesting that playing like your hair is on fire with blitzing and aggressiveness can cover for a diminished roster for so much of the season.
@ATLeagle yeah, I mean we did ok a game or two without a quarterback, but I think if we lost a good chunk of either line, we'd be in deep doodoo.
