Challenger 72 Posted November 23, 2014 Wow, talk about he letting the team down. 4th and 10, he decide to run and slide down few inches short. He just has been terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 195 Posted November 23, 2014 Saw that. What an absolutely b1tch move, and he didn't really have to slide. He would have taken a hit, but if he dives headfirst and gets down at the same spot, he'd have the first down. Garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted November 23, 2014 The Lions' offense is an abortion. Bad offensive line, receivers with stone hands, a terrible QB who still tries throwing sidearm, and an offensive coordinator living off of his dead grandfather's name. Lions failure count: 20 possessions without a TD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphster 274 Posted November 23, 2014 Lions equal overrated. No one is a stud on this team, no one. Suh is a classless jerk, but there's no doubting he's a stud. Probably leaving next year though. Really think Stafford and the offense put it together next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p00h 85 Posted November 23, 2014 they probablty need a retard like schwartz that brings no discipline to the team to have good offensive numbers. Not wins, but good for FF. They have been bad this year, really bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted November 24, 2014 Megaton deserves better If he had a Montana or Young, he would make a run for #2 all-time. Not saying he would get there, but he would have a shot. Matthew Stafford? Nooooope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connorsdad 38 Posted November 24, 2014 Stafford's schedule is great to finish the season. If he can't put together QB1 numbers vs these defenses he never will. Wk 13 vs Bears at Detroit Wk 14 vs Bucs at Detroit (playoffs) Wk 15 vs Vikings at Detroit (playoffs) Wk 16 vs Bears at Chicago (fantasy championship) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is my last year of falling for Stafford as my qb1. I won't be fooled again !! A lot better fantasy Qbs out there. Somehow I'm going to make the playoffs in the one league I drafted Stafford. Still trying to figure out how that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted November 24, 2014 The hope was a coaching change would help Stafford. He does seem to have fewer picks this year but consistency and production haven't been there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upper Class Trash 67 Posted November 24, 2014 He lost his Left Tackle for the remainder of the season yesterday. They will be using an undrafted free agent to protect his blind side, to go along with another undrafted guy at Guard. Even with the easy upcoming schedule, he's going to be hard start. I don't have any other legit options though, so I'm praying this line gives him enough time. Yesterday was bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted November 24, 2014 Tough year for the Lions - always somebody important hurt, but also a team that always seems to have something/someone out of synch. Stafford's inconsistency forced me to trade Eddie Lacy for Romo and AJ Green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 25, 2014 Stafford checks down a lot and he just doesn't seem to be the leader that inspires greatness around him. I do not like the guy, but like a brother said here, he has the best schedule the next four weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted November 25, 2014 Vikings are no cake walk for QBs. True, but 16th in the league to wide receivers is right in the middle. The other three games are much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted November 25, 2014 Please don't trust Stafford for your playoff, he burns you during regular season 9 out of 10, what make you think he will come through during playoff? Stream your QB for those 20 points... it's not worth it to gamble for the 10 points or 30 points. Which average out 20 anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tplbge 2 Posted November 25, 2014 I'm not sure about your playoffs if they start this week, but he's a very good option. Much different team at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stream your QB for those 20 points... it's not worth it to gamble for the 10 points or 30 points. Which average out 20 anyway. I've been pretty smart and lucky on starting the right QB out of Stafford and Tannehill. But decisions seem to tighten up during these important weeks heading into the playoffs. This could change but right now I think I think I'm starting Tannehill vs the Jets at Jersey. But the matchup for Stafford at home vs the Bears should also be good for 20.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 25, 2014 I would not trust Stafford in any matchup. Those matchups you think are good...those teams are looking at stafford as a reprieve for their woes. I would not bench Megatron, but everyone else I would stay away from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Short week for a guy who hasnt thrown 3tds in a game all year. Tate is Calvins ball boy and Bush says he will play and has something to prove.

Also the Lions losing on thanksgiving is one of the safest bets in all of sports. Playing the Devils advocate here- Stafford has gone against three of the toughest defenses the past three weeks in Miami, Zona, and Parriots. Two were on the road too. I think coming home to play da bears and Tampa should be a lot easier. I'm not so sure I would bury Stafford yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GS3K 12 Posted November 26, 2014 It's his line. The Lions have been decimated there all year. I completely bought in to the new O.C. and the addition of Tate but games are won and lost in the trenches. I have him and I drafted him over Luck because of his beautiful playoff schedule so now I have to stick to my guns and put faith in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 26, 2014 The Lions typically play down to the competition and their offense does or tries to do just enough to win. This week I wouldn't trust any piece of the Lions offense but I'm rolling with their defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stafford had 3-TD's and 330 yds, I can see him doing the same to this Bears team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted November 26, 2014 Ok, let's all agree his line is injured and a mess. Will they be any better this week or the next against lesser competition? You would hope so, but the question I have is, how bad our these guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would hope so, but the question I have is, how bad our these guys? Well, as it stands now the starting O-Line for tomorrow would be: LT - Cornelius Lucas - UDFA Rookie - 1 career start at RT LG - Rob Sims - seems to have been nicked up all year, but not enough to be on the injury report C - Dominic Raiola - has been below average all year after a career year last year LG - Travis Swanson - Rookie (drafted as a C) - will be his 3rd career start RT - LaAdrian Waddle - UDFA 2nd year - has missed a lot of time this year due to various injuries, probably still isn't 100% So, in other words: http://i.imgur.com/oOXDJDUb.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made the same mistake with Stafford over Luck (looked at playoff schedule too)...and now I need some luck to get into the playoffs. Fock Stafford. Never drafting his sorry arse again. He and CJ tanked in week 15 last year to kill my title hopes last year as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted November 26, 2014 If you have no other options then roll Stafford. The o line is decimated. I traded for Romo due to this and am going w Tony tomorrow. Stafford could have a big game but just too uncertain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted November 27, 2014 I do not expect a shootout in GB It's a tough call as both defenses have stepped up their play.
