Miami at Detroit (1 Viewer)

[BlueBlazer05]

Stafford needs to pretend it's the 4th quarter all the time from here on out.

 

[Todem]

under review? Levy seems intent on doing whatever he can for Miami. holding on the Lions all day....even when another guy throws a flag for holding on Miami and he sweeps in to say it's not a penalty.

Are you really going to complain about the refs.......the Lions were holding all freaking day. They could have called 5-6 more I saw.....relax.

You won.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Three incredible finishes in a row

Kind of a special year

 

[MSULions]

That was one hell of a pass by Stafford. when he's on he's ON. if only he could be more consistent.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Theo had some huge plays in London as well

 

[MSULions]

nice work Prater.....kicked it out of the endzone.

 

[Todem]

That was one hell of a pass by Stafford. when he's on he's ON. if only he could be more consistent.

He never will be because his fundamentals stink. And he refuses to improve them.

 

[BobbyLayne]

sure am glad we got that extra point

 

[Ilov80s]

If this holds, it will be Stafford's 13th career 4Q comeback win.

 

[BobbyLayne]

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Sweet looking play. A few more laterals and they would have taken a safety.

 

[MSULions]

Man...Detroit are the new Cardiac Kids. crazy.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Alone in first place!

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

Thanks for nothing, Dolphins

 

[Todem]

I put the blame right on the offense. Failure to get a couple of first downs....and that is the ball game.

Our defense played their hearts out.

Philbin is a joke with that timeout again while the clock is running and the Lions are on offense. I just don't understand how he does that...yet again. Force them to use all their timeouts jack ###.

[BobbyLayne]

15th time Stafford won a game that was tied or behind in the 4th Q

 

[Mt. Man]

Detroit 7-0 when they kick a FG >.>

 

[Todem]

Again.....our offense fails to get one first down after our defense gets a critical three and out.....we get even one first down.

They don't have enough time to drive down the field for this.

It's a joke. That is where I know we are not a playoff team. If you can't slam the door on offense with a few first downs....your not playoff caliber.

It took until THIS game to realize you're not playoff caliber? It's the Phins. They're a decade away from mastering.

I have known we have not been playoff caliber for 15 straight ****ing years......you must not know me.

But we were 5-3 heading into this game...and just shut out a real deal Chargers team 37-0......so there was a glimmer of hope.

Again to be squashed like a grape. And if your a Lions fan.....well...you should not be talking. Your QB is not good enough to take you too far.

Well that and you got outplayed from start to finish

351-236 total yards

Miami's only TD was a 3 yard drive

You did happen to notice there were two teams out there, right?

Love this team

Can't get the little things right but they find a way

Yeah of course.....but we had a great shot to steal a game on the road.

All it required was 2 first downs.

Fail.

We stunk on offense. Hats off to a great Detroit defense.

I can't vent?

You watched that last drive and went here...

Mark that.

Stafford is not that great. There are pages and pages right here of posts from Lions fans moaning and groaning.

I can quite a few other teams that made it to SBs with worse than Stafford at QB.

[jon_mx]

Good defenses have won plenty of SB with some pretty questionable QB. Not that this team in going to win a SB, but Stafford is good enough.

So can I ...but he makes critical mistakes that lose games. He will do that in the post season. He is not what I would call a game manager. More of a gun slinger...who can chuck it well. But will make bone headed decisions and against the best competition in the post season....no doubt he will screw it up.

Enjoy the ride though Lions fans. You have not had much to cheer about in like.......forever.

Yeah it can happen. We have seen it enough. But he is not Super Bowl caliber...not elite.

That's all I am saying.

Agreed. They deserve some fun and success. Lord knows how bad that team has been.

 

[Todem]

I knew this would be a tough game. I did not expect to win. But when the game was practically gift wrapped to us....huh...to see the crap that I have come to know as Miami Dolphins football for the last 17 or so years.

Jesus man. Painful. Just painful. Lousy clock management, can't get critical first downs to put away a game. It is like this in almost every single loss we have when we lose a game on the last drive.

 

[jon_mx]

Has Detroit ever been 7-2? Maybe during their 12-4 year, but I am guessing that is it. Or maybe when they started 6-0, but that team fell apart and finished 9-7.

They never started 6-0 in our lifetime. It was 4-0 in 1980.

 

[BobbyLayne]

1993 was the last time the Lions were 7-2

OK....Yeah, I was thinking of Billy Simms rookie year.....They were 5-1 before the bottom kind of fell out.

 

[BobbyLayne]

BTW, that's 7-2 twice in the last 52 seasons

 

[jon_mx]

1993 was the last time the Lions were 7-2

And they finished 10-6 that year. Unfortunately, the Lions remaining schedule is tough. I think 11-5 is likely, but it is no given.

 

[Gatorman]

Phins lose two games in the final minutes because of very weird Time outs and throws that maybe only 5 QBs in the NFL can make.

Good game Detroit.

 

[Spartans Rule]

And they finished 10-6 that year. Unfortunately, the Lions remaining schedule is tough. I think 11-5 is likely, but it is no given.

The next 2 weeks and the last 2 weeks are tough road games, but they do have a nice 3-game stretch of very winnable home games in between.
