I think Lions are perpetually more than a season away.  We are much more the definition of close but not really competing for a SB.

nope, but we always think we could be there next year....well except for this year,  I really dont think we are that close this year.

The good ol' Lions. A year away from being a year away since, um, when did their franchise start?

careful... that description hits pretty damn close to home around here too.

Not really. 4 Superbowls to none. Vikings have one of the best regular season records overall in the NFL. Its not even close. If you want to say 'most disappointing games to end a season/playoffs?' Sure I'm down with that.

Yeah, pretty sure their biggest achievement last year was beating the Packers so that the packers would be watching the playoffs with the Lions.

Vikings have a pretty storied history.  So do the Lions, but theirs is a sad story of wasted #1 picks, 0-16 and rarely making the playoffs.

With a middle-tier defense, this team competes for a Super Bowl. If only there were an opportunity to add some talent between now and the regular season.
