Discussion: Where do the Detroit Lions currently rank in the NFC, NFL?

Despite a couple of recent suspect performances against the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions still hold the No. 3 seed in the NFC, and are tied for the fourth-best record in the NFL. When it comes to the national media and their perception of the Lions, they are still considered to be a top-eight team in the league. That leads us to our Question of the Day...

Where would you currently rank the Lions in the NFC and NFL?

My answer:

Here is where I see the Lions stacking up against the rest of the competition at the moment:

NFC

  1. Eagles
  2. 49ers
  3. Cowboys
  4. Lions

NFL

  1. Eagles
  2. Ravens
  3. 49ers
  4. Chiefs
  5. Cowboys
  6. Dolphins
  7. Lions

Even though the Lions have been struggling, I still think they have proved that they belong in the upper echelon of the NFL.
