Next up, San Fran. I've watched a few games of theirs, they do not impress me on O or D, to me they are overrated. As long as Brees and the rest of the O protect the ball we will be fine. Their turnover rate is an impressive stat. but thats it. Turnovers have been the only key to their sucess. They play just like the Ravens, mirror image. We can win this.

It'll be fun to see an elite offense up against an elite defense. Lately our D has been driving me crazy the first half then been making some good adjustments at the half. Hopefully that'll continue.

you have to give credit to the Lions O, they are a good team.

Our D has been exactly what it was all year and you see what happens when we go up against a team that can ball like us. Swiss cheese.

It is what it is. I am not passing judgement until our season is over. Then look out... lol.

I guess the good news is that if we get by San Fran, every team left has problems on D. We can outscore them all. Atlanta has the best defense left in the NFC, and they're simply middle of the pack, and we've beaten it twice so far.

And if we get the Patriots in the Superbowl, it'll be just like the Lions game.
