3 Pros 3 Cons: Lions vs. Rams Week 1

based on what you stated here, Stafford would have had a good game, but apparently the defense did not.

the defense was key to beating the rams and they had a good game. it is possible for multiple aspects of the team to have good games while a different one has a terrible game and deserves the blame for the loss.

but...see...here's the thing...the lions WON. and they won because the D played very well and Stafford had a good day overcoming a bad start but WINNING the game in the end.

it isn't being ridiculous when you are applying proper analysis to a situation. bad 1st half, yes...but that does not equate to a bad game in its entirety. why is that so hard to comprehend?

I don't care how you try to spin it....Stafford did NOT have a good game. The Lions will lose most of their games if he throws 3 INTs a game.
 
"It wasn't like he was just having a bad day," Schwartz said. "He had a couple of bad plays.
"You have to have a demeanor that allows you to come back from that."

If a guy goes 34-39 n throws 5 ints he had a bad game. Sure it was only 5 plays out of the entire game but they're turnovers..

Also Stafford could have had 3 more picks had STL caught the ball. He was accurate all day but was making bad decisions.

At least every pass he threw got caught! Pretty impressive!

To the first part...did the guy win the game? Maybe he had 10 TDs to go along with those 5 INTs since he was obviously pretty accurate. Either way, the important part that is missing remains whether or not he won the game in this hypothetical scenario you created.

To the second part...maybe I'm not recalling 100%, but weren't the 3 "almost" picks also in the 1st half? We've covered the fact he had a bad 1st half, obviously it would have been even worse if those had been INTs instead of PDs. Quite probable the Lions lose and Staff likely would have been considered to have a bad day, in no small part it would have been very difficult to throw 6 INTs and still win...but if he did overcome the 6 INTs and still won the game with his arm, then he would likely not have had a bad day due to the incredible stats he would likely have needed to overcome 6 INTs. Hypotheticals have infinite possibilities, history only records the actual results.

not my quote....it comes from an NFL HC who knows alot more then you or I. :tup:
 
So if Stafford goes 21-21 for 325 yards and 3 tds but they lose by 21 is it a bad game for him?

What about if he goes 20-21 with 3 tds but his incompletion was a goal line pick to end the game and they lose...is that a bad game?

Its very possible to have good games with a loss and bad games with a win..you guys are ridiculous.

You need to let it go now, man....

And you need to shut the fuck up about it. It's Wednesday....
 
Lets see if I get this right. Detroit will lose most of their games if Staff throws 3 INT? Nooooooooo.

:lmao:

yup...Tom figured it out....Lions were 0 -2 last year when he threw 3 or more.

1 - 3 when he threw 2 or more. :cry:
 
And in what year did Staff throw 3+ INTs in every game? Really grasping for straws using that as the basis for one's argument, IMO. I'd say he has a better chance at throwing for 350+ yards per game than throwing 3+ INTs in every game. Come on 6000 yard season, woohooo!!!! (and yes, i know 350 averages to less than the 6000 yard mark...but pay attention to the + sign after it so i don't have to point it out later, thank you in advance).

Stafford has 6 games with 3+ INTS and the Lions are 1-5 in those games. That FACT supports my argument.

3 of which came as a rookie , when they went 2 - 14 and were horrid.

He only had 2 games last year in which he threw 3 or more , you post like he did it 5 or 6 times last season.

He's not going to throw 3 or more picks in 80% of the games he plays....1 or 2 probably but they're good enough on defense now and have the offense to now score and overcome those mistakes.

I didn't mean to imply that he did it last year. I am trying to point out to this dope zyxt9 that if Stafford throws 3 picks in a game they are going to lose more often than not. He doesn't get it!
