In skimming through the Detroit Free Press, I’m finding that their Detroit Lions beat writers aren’t giving a whole lot of respect to the team’s playoff odds. Despite the two recent wins, Jeff Seidel says they’re merely treading water, while Carlos Monarrez is even less optimistic.
I’m not going to say that either one of them is wrong. With it being Christmas season though, the two of them put together almost feels like listening to the Grinch and Scrooge talk Lions football. If you’re looking to dampen your holiday cheer, there’s no better way than being a fly on the wall of Scrooge’s dingy London flat when the Grinch swings down from North Whoville for the evening.
