Re: 2013 Detroit Lions: Make the playoffs or Schwartz gets the Ziggy.
They aren't even gonna attempt to kick the PAT?

epic collapse.
With the Lions it is not epic (heroic, long, grand, monumental), just another collapse in a long series of collapses for 56 years.

When describing the Lions, I think alternative band Local H said it best in their hit "Bound For the Floor:"On second thought, the current loss to the Eagles was not epic; but 56 years of general failure is epic. And, I suppose these last 56 years could be considered an epoch: a period of time in which the Detroit Lions were primarily mediocre at best.
Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

At this stage it may be a blessing that they don't make the playoffs. Can you imagine playing SF or Carolina at home in a playoff game and losing by 4 TD's?
Seattle, SF, Carolina, New Orleans..... then Arizona, Philly, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago & Green Bay. NYG, Atlanta, Washington and Minnesota. Contenders, pretenders and draft choice vendors.
You could always play Philly again, just like in '95.

Bears won. We have to win out to make the playoffs, don't we?
They'll win the next 3 games easily, have a lead late, and then find some new and creative way to break our hearts once more.

Schwartz is done, I think. He lost this team sometime in the past two seasons...undisciplined, careless, wreckless- call it what you want, but foolish penalties and meltdowns on both sides of the ball have cost this team their best chance at a division title in years.
