Alex (Illinois): hey Gary, do you think that the Detroit Lions are for real? Can they really make a push into the playoffs?
GARY HORTON: I think they are better than they have been, and Kitna has been terrific, and they have some playmakers on offense. And in the NFC I think they have a good chance to sneak in as a Wild Card. But I do not see enough consistency to give them a chance to go anywhere in the playoffs. I think Marinelli is building something good, but I do not think they are ready yet to contend in the playoffs. But forgetting the outcome of today's game, when was the last time the Lions had a meanigful game to cheer for on Thanksgiving.
