Stafford finishes with 520 yards and 5 tds today.
And he's the second-best QB in the game. Amazing.I was totally wrong about how Detroit approached this game. They played to win.Stafford finishes with 520 yards and 5 tds today.
Was like the Alamo Bowl.1000 total yards passing by Stafford (520) and Flynn (480)!
I don't think the Lions or the Packers are going to be able to beat the Saints in the playoffs.Lions are not going to do well vs the Saints.
The Detroit Lions are just not ready for prime time.![]()

I'm not sure the packers will either but that SF match-up is gonna take a lot out of them. Packers are gonna get the Giants/Cowboys or Falcons, they won't have a very tough game. Lions still need a lot of work in their back seven but it was a successful year. Would have been nice to have a shot at winning a playoff game though.I don't think the Lions or the Packers are going to be able to beat the Saints in the playoffs.Lions are not going to do well vs the Saints.
Matt Stafford with 5034 yards and 41 TD's at the age of 23Calvin Johnson with 96 receptions 1681 yards, 16 TD'sLions finish 10-6 and make the playoffs for the first time in 12 years.Congrats on an unforgettable year!

I'll beg to differ, but an over/under could be set at 90pts.I don't think the Lions or the Packers are going to be able to beat the Saints in the playoffs.Lions are not going to do well vs the Saints.
Before 2011, the gold standard was 4000 yards and 35 TDs (every QB who ever hit those numbers made the Pro Bowl).Stafford crushed those benchmarks and yet he's only the 2nd alternate.Calvin passed Wes to lead the league. But Gronkowski caught two TDs to lead the league over calvin.
Stafford....over 5,000, 41 Tds....no Pro-Bowl????? I am guessing first time a QB over 5,000 or over 40 did not make it.
I say this in a nice way, but you are out of your mind bat-s##t crazy. Lions? Absolutely. Packers? No way, no how.I don't think the Lions or the Packers are going to be able to beat the Saints in the playoffs.Lions are not going to do well vs the Saints.
Agree. Truth is, all five NFC QBs (Brees, Rodgers, Manning, Cam and Stafford) are ALL VERY deserving. Suffice to say the league has never seen such prolific numbers in the history of the NFL.Before 2011, the gold standard was 4000 yards and 35 TDs (every QB who ever hit those numbers made the Pro Bowl).Stafford crushed those benchmarks and yet he's only the 2nd alternate.Calvin passed Wes to lead the league.

I think that makes players now 0-4 against Green Bay when doing the belt.No championship belt , move by Suh at the end of the game?He is such a tool if your goong to show up the best teamm and the best qb in the game, may i suggest you win the dam game first
Saw him with the headset and card most of that fist half.Was hoping he would have the sharpie tucked into the back of his hat too.Rodgers called the first half according to MM, that's pretty cool.
Best will never have a complete season, next year will probably be his last after he suffers yet another concussion.I am interested to see what LeShoure can do once he recovers.The blown TD call was huge but plain and simple Detroit is not as good as the Packers...yet. The talent is there and getting better. A healthy Javid Best and LaShoure next year will help. Kevin Smith is here to stay.From 0-16 to 10-6 in three years is an amazing turnaround. Still need a couple of pieces though.The bottom line is that I could not be happier as a lifelong Lion fan. We finally have a good young team to build around.
With LaShoure and Kevin Smith back Best will be what he should have been from day 1, a third down back.What bothers me the most is that the Lions would have had a 50-50 chance against the Giants.Best will never have a complete season, next year will probably be his last after he suffers yet another concussion.I am interested to see what LeShoure can do once he recovers.The blown TD call was huge but plain and simple Detroit is not as good as the Packers...yet.

Word coming out of New Orleans is that they are now going to rest their starters against the Lions next week as well.![]()

Not a lock but definitely in their favor. Detroit's defense has been absolutely putrid.I think it's comical people in here think New Orleans is a LOCK over Detroit.
A CHAMPIONSHIP team in the making.It is amazing the season they are having given that many of their top picks are not doing squat. Best is hurt again, LaShoure never played a game, Fairley is looking like a bust. If the Lions had drafted the top DB on the board instead of Fairley the team would be much improved. The DL was already strong.You're giving up already?WOW.

Fairly has been injured since preseason and all year. The one game he was healthy to some extent he dominated against NO. it's way too premature to call him a bust. Prince was the guy they passed up and go look back at how that's turned out...'Da Guru said:A CHAMPIONSHIP team in the making.It is amazing the season they are having given that many of their top picks are not doing squat.

Alright, I'll agree. Best of luck to you guys in the playoffs. After years of laughter, it's good to see you have something to cheer about.

They lost to their division rivals who were playing their second stringers. There are plenty of reasons for lion fans to hang their heads.'Hendo said:I dont see how any lion fan could hang their head low after this. It's apparent they have youngs studs at the most important positions in the game (aside of LOT) and a little more seasoning and a few pieces added to the back 7 of that defense and your looking at a contender for years imo.
Prince was injured in the preseason too. Injury excuses only go one way with you???Fairly has been injured since preseason and all year.

If you bothered to read my reply at all to guru's then you would have you answer.Prince out for the year would help out three lions how?
