Ross Tucker: 'Jared Goff Showed He Can Win Playoff Games'

Ross Tucker is the guest on the latest Bang The Table Lions podcast.

Ross Tucker believes the Detroit Lions have a solid opportunity to take advantage of the NFC not having as many dominant teams as the AFC. 

With veteran Jared Goff under center, the team has the potential to win meaningful games this season. 

"Jared Goff showed that he can win playoff games. He can win road playoff games. He can get to a Super Bowl," Tucker explained. "And I think he's playing better than he played when he was with the Rams. So, if he's able to get to a Super Bowl with the Rams, I think he can get to one with the Detroit Lions. And the thing I'd also say -- John look, I don't want to get too carried away if you're a Lions fan, but the NFC feels to me like a winnable conference, right? 

"Whereas if the Lions were in the AFC, kind of would have a tough time picturing them being better than the Chiefs or probably even the Bengals, Tucker continued.  "Niners have their quarterback and injury issues. Eagles lost a lot. I think the Eagles are still probably the favorite, but they lost, they're coming back to the pack a little bit. So, there's the potential there for a Detroit or a Seattle or a team like that to go to the Super Bowl, man! Now, there's a lot, in Detroit, to be talking about the Super Bowl. When was the last time you guys won a playoff game at all, like the 90's, 1991? That is unbelievable. I mean that is unbelievable. So, maybe we should just pull back a little bit. Like let's win a playoff game first. But my point remains there, it feels like the NFC is there for the taking."
