Even with McCaron you won the game basically but Jeremy Hill lost it for you. Bengals win that game and they could go deep in the playoffs. Also if Palmer doesn't get hurt in 2005 that could have been a Superbowl team. I enjoy seeing you guys win and hope you can break this playoff curse soon.

I would argue it was also due to boneheaded penalties late in the game, a true team loss, not just Hill.  But, let's not fight that battle again.

For me, 2005 will always be the one that got away.  If we had won, we would have went to Denver, and I don't know about our chances there.  Haven't a had a lot of luck there over the years (hello, Christmas Eve 2006).  But, at least the damn playoff loss streak would have been snapped.  Sad that it seems like such an unobtainable thing at this point.

Oh, and go Lions
