The only difference between this years team and last years team is that we are winning the close games. We are still the lions, not living up to our teams potential. We have the offense to be dropping a 50 burger every week, but they just fail to execute or do something to get a penalty and call back a 15 yd + play and turn it into a loss. I'm not sold on them yet. We can't seem to put a team away, and that's not a good thing in this league.

I 100% agree with this. I truly see the potential of this team. When I think of the broncos going into Pittsburg I see a matchup controlled by manning and his offense. When I think of the lions going into Pittsburg I understand the game has a potential to be a close game because of mistakes. We have the talent of a Super Bowl team--hopefully we develop the discipline.

as sheriff said...I think it mostly relies on the discipline...EMP said it best as well...not too take from either one of you cuz you both make very strong and valid points..I just want to add if we stop giving up the big penalties and limit the big plays on D..and simply..just simply execute on offense with the tools we have we could and can be a playoff/super bowl caliber type team...the Giants did it twice and were pretty much in a similar situation give or take a few things...but I have faith in the Leos..LETS GO LIONS!!!

Anything can happen in playoffs.
Nobody thought the Seahawks would take out the Saints a few years ago.
