I haven't posted the computer rankings lately. Even when the Lions were playing better they were consistently ranked around #9.
Sagarin: Lions #9
Massey: Lions #7
ELO: Lions #9
I think that's what the team is this year. At one point, I hoped that if we got the #1 seed or the right matchup, we could actually make it all the way. At this point, the #1 seed is out of reach. ESPN has it as a 4% chance. Too many unlikely things have to go right for that to happen.
Eagles and 49ers are fundamentally better this season. At this point, I'd be disappointed if we didn't win the division and a playoff game, but anything above that would be fantastic and unexpected.
