Would the Lions simply be one and done in the playoffs? It looked that way Monday Night watching the 49ers throttle the Steelers. The Lions' offense doesn't match up well with the 49ers defense because they don't run the ball effectively.

It would be tee-off time on Lions QB Matthew Stafford for San Francisco's front seven, led by Justin Smith and Aldon Smith, who both played very effectively when the teams met at Ford Field this season.

The 49ers also have an excellent cover corner in Carlos Rogers, who might have been the best free agent signing of the off season. Alex Smith is playing well. I understand that, but I do believe Stafford would give the Lions a big edge at quarterback. Vernon Davis is a great tight end and Frank Gore is one of those running backs just made for the postseason.
