It was clearly a miscue, don't know which one of the two was wrong.Stafford threw the ball on Calvin's break. Calvin broke to an in, Stafford threw an out.

Looks like they are rotating morris and smith with a dose of Brown. I'd rather have Brown back there full time, he's a burner. No idea if he can block though.

And that's why you're Detroit.
4th and 1, Seattle lines up to try and draw them offsides. Hasselbeck says "hut" about 40 times, Detroit never jumps, now it's pretty clear they were just trying to draw them offsides. Then with 1 second left on the playclock one of the Detroit players finally does jump.

Linehan completely sucks.
Someone (Calvin Johnson maybe) should beat him with Matt Stafford's noodle arm!

FG good. Still half a quarter to go, but I wonder if they shouldn't have gone for the TD.
Also not a fan of the 3rd down play -- quick throw to Fitzsimmons that would've been a yard short even if he had caught the ball.
Also also, I'm starting to think that Calvin must be seeing triple coverage on the plays where I don't see (the ball thrown near) him.

Stafford's noodle arm huh? The guy has one of the strongest arm's in the league. Now if you wanna say his incredibly inaccurate arm, then i'm with you. Calvin has played the entire game as far as I can tell and he hasn't done jack. They don't even give him a chance to make a play at all. It's like if the Cardinals just didn't throw it to Fitzgerald at all. It's embarrassing. Keep throwing one yard screens to backup TE's guys, its working wonders.

Casey Fitzsimmons with 9 targets? Who in their right mind throws 9 times to Casey Fitzsimmons?

This just shows how terrible the entire Lions organization is, didn't Crap decision Stafford get the job because of his "Chemistry" with Calvin Johnson?
Drew Stanton can get the ball to him better, this is just completely awful. I feel bad for Lions fans as this team has talent but just wastes it.
As a Dolphins fan I would love to have someone of Calvin's talent, and you know darn well that Sporano and Henning would get the ball to him iwth all kinds of formations and trick plays.

He dominated with #### at QB last year...it's not like Stafford is that much of a downgrade from last year

Make that 11 throws to Fitzsimmons. This is unreal, funny, and sad all at the same time.

Hey, he just doubled his output. Don't complain.
Mr Anonymous
Footballguy
Yep, and sad just took a commanding lead over unreal and funny.
He is just not accurate at all. He is CONSTANTLY throwing behind his WR's. Maybe he will improve with time, but I know that was an issue at Georgia too, so I'm not so sure. It's incredibly frustrating watching him play. I know he's young and will get better, but man, he makes some bad throws.

Bring back Drew Stanton and Dan Orlovsky or whoever played QB last year!!!! Give us Culpepper!!!!!!!!!
That kids accuracy sucks and is terrible, what good is an arm if can't even hit the farm that has the barn with the broad side on it?

Bring back Scott Mitchell! Almost all the INTs were long passes where he couldn't find the WR. Sad thing is the Lions had this game if Stafford is relatively smart with the ball past the 1st quarter. I'll give Detroit... oh, let's drop it to a 1 in 3 chance of beating Cleveland at home. Otherwise, if they can't "shock" the Seahawks, Lions fans (endangered species as they are) might as well plan/hope for 2010.

If you think Drew Stanton is better than Stafford, you really need to give up football.
SofaKings

Good question.
FavreCo

Maybe he is talking from a financial point of view because Stafford is not showing he is even close to the $ they paid him.
SofaKings
Footballguy
Yup halfway through his rookie season it's clear he blows.

In reference chemistry with Calvin, yeah, bring back Stanton.If your franchise QB can't find a way to get the ball to a freak of nature that is the tallest, fastest and highest jumping player on the field, then yeah, Detroit - we have a problem!d
SofaKings

No matter that he is double and triple teamed on most plays. Of course.

He was all last year, he's a freak of nature!!! Look at his height compared to the corners and safety's let alone his leaping ability and skill at tracking the ball. Yes you get your stud the ball.In high school I would throw into 3 or 4 guys covering my buddy because I knew he had a better chance of coming down with the ball and he always did. Give Calvin a chance, he did it all last year without the team they have this year!Detroit is clearly better but they could be actually winning more if they can get him involved. As far as the money for Stafford is concerned, who cares? I'm just talking chemistry with Calvin since that's what Schwartz said was his reason for making Stafford his QB. Clearly either Schwartz is blind, stupid or someone flunked chemistry 101.....

Or perhaps CJ is still not recovered from his knee injury.

He might be but he was clearly open on a ton of plays and Stafford couldn't get him the ball. Calvin's second reception was an awful pass thrown way behind him and in the ground, he made a great catch! That had nothing to do with his knee but was poorly thrown as a lot of the passes were. Again, he got the job because of his chemistry with Calvin, yet he has no chemistry with Calvin, not just today but pretty much all season.

I thought it was fairly obvious that Stafford didn't have the normal zip on his passes. Might have been residual effect from his knee as well.

Exactly and again the point everyone keeps overlooking is he has the job due to his chemistry with Calvin, I ask again, what chemistry?d
SofaKings
Footballguy
You keep bringing up chemistry...what are the other options?
Relax on the chemistry thing. You're a Calvin owner or fan, and so am I, and we want what's best for our boy (haha) but Stafford is young. He's gonna suck for a while and he's gonna show flashes while doing it. It's frustrating for sure, and i share your frustrations, but the only way Stafford is going to get better is by playing. So by thinking that Drew Stanton would be better, you're out of your mind. Stafford will get the ball to Calvin. I was mad today because they simply were not throwing it to him at all. He had 6 targets but 4 of them were not close, and everyone knows the only way the guy is going to produce is if they put him in a chance to do so, and the game plan today was incredibly poorly designed.
