Turn off the Lights on your way out

L, Detroit 13 - Green Bay 34

This one I held a small sliver of hope for. Green Bay had nothing to pay for and Detroit had squeaked out a victory last week so maybe a bit of pride would surface. Maybe the Lambeau jinx would be broken before Brett Farve retires. Maybe I'll win a trip to the moon! Yeah, right.

The Lion players had already punched out and packed up their gear mentally for the end of the season. Green Bay had their starters in so fast you wondered if they worked it out in advance with Rod Maranelli. Even Green Bay's third string quarterback had multiple scoring drives to add insult to injury. Another bitter season comes to a close. The promise of the first half. The pain and despair of the second. What is it going to be?

The media seems to be harping on the fact the offense is pass happy; The offense turns it over too much; and the defense was horrific. Will coaches dissapear? What players won't be back? Questions, questions, questions...
