Detroit isn't going all the way this year but they're close because of this offense.

Need a few pieces on defense.

Mendenhall getting hurt.

I'm just going to say that there's a chance that Redman is better suited for the playoffs because of the way he runs between the tackles and picks up hidden yards. If he can run hard and get the offensive line pumped up to block for him, they'll be more balanced. And then if they make it to the Super Bowl, they'll have the balanced offense with more ball control to go along with the defense. Unlikely but there's a chance.

Shocker non randomly brings up the Steelers in a non-steelers thread

long way to go but I'm going to laugh if after all the hype about his great record breaking season Brees is one and done.

Lions need to capitalize on these turnovers big time.

That's what I was wondering too. If the Steelers can get these opportunities they better not get screwed by the refs Like that.

It's all open playoff talk now anyway. It's all connected as these teams chase the Lombardi Trophy.

this is lions vs saints. just as the other thread was texans vs bengals. NOTHING to do with the steelers

as far as this game, lions need to capatalize on those turnovers

Wrong. BR was discussing the teams left and if they could compete against the Saints or Packers. Other teams were already drawn into the discussion.

I'm right about this.

Lions 2 turnovers and 0 points, not going to cut it.

I like the Lions being borderline dirty...there's sort of a way to do it that makes you a tough road team...but you can't be obvious to the extend that it draws penalty

just a little extra shove here and there is good football

that's incomplete, but personal foul on Detroit.
