MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Agreed the OL definitely reacted to the Packer's DL jumping offside before the RB moved which should have made it offsides. Green Bay has definitely had the benefit of some questionable calls today. The OL "definitely reacted"? You mean the center getting pushed onto his butt? It would have been a GB penalty but the Lions RB flinching after that negated the original call? Quote
jodcon Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Wild Card matchups... Cincy @ Indy Baltimore @ Pittsburgh Detroit @ Dallas Arizona @ Carolina Should be some good games there, the AFC especially. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Wild Card matchups... Cincy @ Indy Baltimore @ Pittsburgh Detroit @ Dallas Arizona @ Carolina Should be some good games there, the AFC especially. A sham of a system that rewards a team who will raise a division championship banner despite a 7-8-1 record and makes a "wild-card" team with an 11-5 mark play on the road... Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 The key stat in yesterday's GB/DET game is this...0-16. That's the record of Stafford in his career on the road against team's with winning records. Pathetic for a #1 overall draft pick. Quote

That's the record of Stafford in his career on the road against team's with winning records. Pathetic for a #1 overall draft pick. The guy threw 3 TD's yesterday and had 29 yards rushing in 4 attempts. It wasn't his fault that the team gave up a special teams touhdown or that his RB couldn't handle a simple hand-off, which quickly resulted in a Packer TD. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Marc Trestman fired...Rex Ryan fired...Jim Harbaugh out...Mike Smith fired... I think Smith would have kept his job even with a close loss yesterday, but a 30+ point loss at home with a division title and playoff berth on the line = head coach doomsday. Quote

It would have been a GB penalty but the Lions RB flinching after that negated the original call? I didn't even notice the center getting pushed to his butt I meant the DL jumped into the neutral zone and then the OL reacted to that before the RB moved at all which still should have made it offside.

I wonder what Aaron Rodgers' stats and record would be if he had been named starting QB (as a rookie) for a team that went 0-16 the season before he got there... 1 Quote

It wasn't his fault that the team gave up a special teams touhdown or that his RB couldn't handle a simple hand-off, which quickly resulted in a Packer TD. Stafford missed a ton of throws he usually makes however. The deep ball to Megatron, the 4th down throw to Tate that sailed way over his head were a couple examples. I dont think he was the main reason but he was part of the reason. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Haters gonna hate! Does the heroic Willis Reed-Larry Bird comin' out of the locker room magic-man Aaron Rodgers feel better today? Much better... especially after a 4th straight division title. Hey look on the bright side.........least your Lions have Stafford and not Cutler. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 The NFL doing its best to make sure the Cowboys advance past wild-card weekend...Suh suspended for 1 game. Quote

That's the record of Stafford in his career on the road against team's with winning records. Pathetic for a #1 overall draft pick. It's a team game and the Lions took a few years to get off the mat following an 0-16 season. Stafford is doing what he can to help the team win. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Much better... especially after a 4th straight division title. . The NFC Central...about as organizationally incompetent as the AFC East... Quote

MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 About time the NFL dropped the hammer on that thug. If Suh played for the Cowboys or Patriots, no action would have been taken against him. Quote

Stafford is doing what he can to help the team win. Again...Stafford has NEVER beaten a team on the road with a winning record. That hardly has anything to do with a 0-16 season way back when. If you are the #1 overall draft pick as a QB one would think he could beat a 3-2 or 6-5 team at some point on the road. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 If Suh played for the Cowboys or Patriots, no action would have been taken against him. Fed Ex me your tin foil hat................................ Quote
SiouxScore Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 The NFL doing its best to make sure the Cowboys advance past wild-card weekend...Suh suspended for 1 game. Surprised by that thought he would maybe get a fine. I would think he would appeal so hopefully they overturn the suspension. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Again...Stafford has NEVER beaten a team on the road with a winning record. That hardly has anything to do with a 0-16 season way back when. If you are the #1 overall draft pick as a QB one would think he could beat a 3-2 or 6-5 team at some point on the road. Actually it does considering he was the QB the very next season as a rookie - and one who skipped his senior year at that. Now contrast that with, say, Mark Sanchez, JaMarcus Russell, or Johnny Manziel and their first respective seasons... Now, on the flip side, if Stafford could hve directed the Lions to 2 wins in 3 games earlier this season against the Cardinals, Panthers, and Bills, he could have enjoyed yesterday's game from the bench...

JohnboyND7 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Stafford is an excellent quarterback. The Lions are generally just not very good. If Big Ben retired at the end of this year and you told me I could have Stafford for the next 5 or 10 years in Pittsburgh, I'd be a very happy camper. Quote
jodcon Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 If Suh played for the Cowboys or Patriots, no action would have been taken against him. More like if it wasn't the third time he was in trouble no action would have been taken against him, that guy is a slow learner. Quote
jodcon Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 It will go to 0-17 at DAL next weekend......................... This game looked a lot better a month ago, Dallas is actually rolling right now. But you know...Romo and playoffs...disaster is probably imminent. Quote
jodcon Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Stafford's problem is he goes stretches where he can't hit anybody, then gets hot for a while, then repeats. If he was just more consistent they would be hard to beat, they stop the run and have the tools on offense. I'd like to see them beat Romo but really doubt it will happen. Quote
