The Detroit Lions, in case you think it's relevant, haven't been officially or mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. They've only been eliminated by every realistic measure. That also means that Jon Kitna's 10-game "prediction'' also has gone by the wayside. The Lions were crushed 51-14 by the San Diego Chargers on Sunday and their sixth straight loss drops them to 6-8 on the season.
Last week, Kitna was holding out hope that a three-game win streak and a first-round playoff win could get the Lions to 10 wins, but he's finally given up hope.

Still, the team in improving. There's hope for the future for the first time in a while.
