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?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
