Actually, you could have left it at the NFC. Gutty win. They got outplayed statistically and the time of possession was tilted badly but the difference was Stafford. Ran when it was appropriate and was accurate per usual this year.jomar said:Stafford playing at a very high level right now. arguably the best qb in the NFC North this year
That 3WR-1RB offense where the TE Wick stays in to block is their most effective formation. Boldin was a man out there the way he pushed his way in for the final score. And he didn't drop it either.Lions 3-0 since Ebron has been out..Boldin making the tough catches. TE actually blocking.
My friend, whose favourite team is the San Francisco 49ers, text me when we grabbed Boldin to say that we would absolutely love having him on our roster.Your what?

" Stafford has put together an All-Pro caliber season over his past 16 games. He has completed nearly 69 percent of his passes, while throwing for 4,310 yards, with 35 touchdowns against just eight picks."Oh what the hell, let's go for best in the NFL.
(To be fair, Barnwell doesn't actually say that. His main point is that we're overlooking Stafford's resurgence, and there's no clear case that any other QB is playing better than him right now.)
I was trying not to get too carried away. Last night on NFLN, they were pimping him as a possible MVP candidate. I just hope he can keep it up and get us to the playoffs and, heaven forbid, a playoff W (or two)Actually, you could have left it at the NFC. Gutty win.

I would be amiss if I didn't mention a couple of fortunate bounces but hey, dems da breaks. Take em when you get them and win the game.
I'd really like to see what this team could have been if healthy on defense.
He's playing the best football of his career and this is the first season I feel he's actually elevating the players around him but honestly it feels like the NFL is grasping for a fresh new story to showcase. The NFL is down in so many ways. Too many ways to count. A lot of the usual superstars (Peyton/ADP/ODB/Cam etc...) are either non-existent or not worth the pub at this point. Don't get me wrong, he's one of the only reasons they have a winning record but it feels like a reach until he single handedly gets them to the playoffs AND wins a meaningful game at that point.I was trying not to get too carried away.

It's pretty puzzling to say the least. Our weakest position on the roster just got depleted of even more depth. I'm thinking there was more to this story. Was he complaining or turning into a locker room cancer? Nothing in is history suggests that but it makes you wonder. It could also be a precursor to another move. It certainly suggests Levy is coming back to the fray.Traded him and a 7th rounder to Pats for a 6th rounder. Following last years draft that is basically giving him away to move up 15th places. Man our 2nd round draft picks under Mayhew have been an abomination. Minus Slay.
May seem weird given how low we are on LBs but Bynes is back now and maybe just possibly maybe it could be a little hint of good news in confidence in Levy returning. Maybe not.
Fixed - I heard it this morning as well.Two NFL teams have trailed in THE 4TH QUARTER OF every game they've played this year.
The Browns are 0-9.
The Lions are 5-4.
Thank youFixed - I heard it this morning as well.
Solid.The Lions are in first place.
I agree but the Lions could easily be 2-7 so we should be thankful.That damn Titans game still pisses me off. That could be a thorn, but this look like a division that can we won at 9-7. Go Lions!
I'll be thankful if we don't get our turkey early this Sunday.I agree but the Lions could easily be 2-7 so we should be thankful.
I did hear that teams off a bye were something like 14-8 this yearthoughts this week? thinking about taking this game in my survivor. not sure I can take a chance... has all the looks of a trap game
FTFYI agree but the Lions could easily be2-70-9 so we should be thankful.
Not sure if it's superstition or just hard-won cynicism, but I'm pretty sure I've never picked the Lions in a survivor pool, and I don't see that ever changing.thoughts this week? thinking about taking this game in my survivor. not sure I can take a chance... has all the looks of a trap game
Good job leos to not gaffe that oneSuch a lions move to lose to jax. Get ready........
