I have though for awhile that we've had decent talent in the skill positions but that pretty bad QB and OL play hid it. Three players away from the playoffs? maybe if the players are Mario Williams, Clay Matthews,and Jason Witten, I just hope we retain our quality players this year- you can put together optimist scenarios together- like what if the Bills hit big on a one of the highly touted DT/3-4 ends with their 1st, come away with an OT who can contribute right away with their 2nd, grabs some talent at LB 3rd and 4ths, Sean Nelson proves to be a real TE, Shawne Merriman returns to form, Carrington, and Troup come on- but I'm not going to go too crazy, I've seen how much Detroit has improved their talent and they still can't win.
