Stafford looking for a block when Bush came back across the field was pretty funny...missed all 3 possible guys.

 

[TrueOrange]

Manning
Rogers
Luck
Brees
Brady

I'd have to put the following ahead of him as well (in no order):

Wilson
Roethlisberger
Flacco
Eli Manning



Even debately Romo, Ryan, Newton. Possibly Bradford. (Not sure about Rivers.)

 

[zjcvols]

Stafford's completion percentage went up, his INT% went down, and his yards per attempt stayed the same. Give him a better O-Line and 16 healthy Megatron games and you are talking his best year of his career.

I take this back

Touchdown Megatron

So in summary:

At best he's 9th best....at best.

In reality he could be anywhere from 10th/11th/12th best to even 15th.

 

[zjcvols]

Packers fans whining that wasn't a penalty LOL. You hit the QB in the head it's automatically 15.

 

[MAD]

Wait what?
Lions just scored 14 unanswered to tie it up in Lambeau.

Look Rodgers is back.

Look Rodgers is back.

yeah yeah

Dumb rule, but an even dumber challenge.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Well that was terrible.

Caldwell was doing his best Schwartz impression.

I understand his confusion, as I also had no idea that barrel rolling down the field gave you fumble immunity, but doubling down and STILL challenging after getting a lengthy explanation from the refs was idiotic.

 

[WesternKyVol]

Suh is truly a piece of garbage.

 

[BadJerry20]

He's such a great player too, he doesn't need all the extra stuff.

 

[BadJerry20]

Lol 0-16.

 

[zjcvols]

Bad execution, a couple calls that didn't go our way (expected), and meh coaching led to the expected loss.

Hopefully we can shut down Dallas' run game.

One playoff win in 56 years. That ain't changing this weekend.

I don't think the Lions are going to win the Super Bowl either but they have a chance. There's a lot of potential on offense. I sure hope the Lions beat your cowboys.

 

[govols120]

"My Cowboys," despite the pretty obvious Lions flair right underneath ol' CMU Butch.

Pardon me if I feel a lack of confidence towards a team with no division championships and no playoff wins in my lifetime (I'm 21).

To be fair its not like The Cowboys have been tearing up the playoffs since the turn of the century.

5 Super Bowls.

 

[govols120]

A good comparison I just saw: Stafford is the new Drew Bledsoe.

Also: the Lions only played 4 teams over .500 (schedule luck!) and went 1-3. 10-2 against those that went 8-8 or worse. That's how it works sometimes.

 

[BadJerry20]

5 Super Bowls.

Last one was when you were 2. Lol Neither fan base should have much confidence based on this century.
