What the Lions loss means

Tell that to the 9-7 Giants that won the SuperBowl. Once you get in, there's always a chance.

Also the team we have now may not be the same team in January.

This team is in chaos mode. We can't put 60 minutes of respectable football together. We are undisciplined, our fundamentals of the game are suspect and we are unable to overcome mistakes. This team needs to be perfect to win and we can't even sniff at perfect.

I pretty much agree with all this except for the perfect part. Just cutting down on missed tackles and not giving the ball away would be enough.

Even if we make the #4 seed I have such a small level of confidence that we can go on the road and win a game against a weak opponent let alone a top 4 conference team. We'd literally need a team to lose their starting QB just before playing us for me to have faith we could prevail.

I'll still watch it all, I'll still cheer all the time. I just don't have any confidence in this team this season.

All that is too far down the road. All the team can do now is what they can do now. Cut out the turnovers and tackle. It's really that simple.

We have been in every game but 1 = Positive.
We are ending up the losing side in most = Negative.
A .500 team will be the division winner and we have a great chance with that. But WE CANNOT lose the games in our own house or we are done.
