Am I just a sucker?

Lots of good games by Tate even some great (Dolphins, Giants, Pats). Calvin was being a monster. Tons of wins. 6 wins

The 4 losses weren't because Calvin/Tate were both on the field. It was more run game, protection, defense against Carolina/Pats, some Packers. And Cards/Packers/Pats actually covered Calvin/Tate well. Tough on the road.

Are excuses part of your every day life? Must suck

Tate had some solid games with CJ. Stop acting like a fkn schmuck

He baiscally ignores that Calvin had monster games and we won most of the games too. Patriots and Vikings Tate even got more targets than Calvin.

Zona and Packers did a good job covering both Tate and Calvin. But yet he blames Stafford.

He is a pure hater and it has blinded him into stupidity.

Tate was good with Calvin, great without Calvin.

60 yards per game is a 1,000 yard season hughes. Good with Calvin and rightfully getting a few less targets, great without Calvin facing more doubles.

I know reasons why things happen and am aware of my surroundings in every day life.

There is a reason why things happen. If you watched the game tape, you would agree with me.

You make up excuses to why things happen, then basically change outcomes to what you think should've happened. True win, lol. Get it together, man

It's reasons why things happened. Sometimes out of the Lions control. If the Lions outplay their opponent and refs screw it up, it's a true win.

im not ignoring anything....that was exactly my point. Stafford locks onto calvin and doesn't use tate. You have a hard time with literacy and comprehension....its ok....were used to it by now.

No he doesn't. Tate had more targets in several of the games. Packers/Zona both were covered. Calvin gives you the better chance when both are covered. Stafford did nothing wrong in his targets.

3 of the 6 losses. Tate had more or equal targets to Calvin. Wins I don't give a flying fuck who was targeted how much.

Pack/Zona had good coverage on both. Carolina we had other issues. Run game, missed field goals, fumbles etc.

Lol at you thinking 90 yard games are "meh" average of 66 yards a game gets you 1000. 90 a game gets you 1440. This isn't madden. Nor is he calvin Johnson. But you need to reevaluate what you consider a good game.

Tate on the year had 80 yards per game too. You get 63 yards per game when hughes took out his five best games.

Tate is a stud. Calvin is a stud. They use them properly when open. Tip of the cap for Zona/Packers covering Tate and Calvin well. And Pats for covering Calvin well.

No, no its not. A forgivable loss maybe, but not a win
 
So do we have any True Superbowl titles? And does anyone other than LKP recognize them?

If the answer to either of those questions is no... then it shows delusion and possible insanity.

Cause we were talking about his production when both were 100%. My god you are a fucktard.

Taking into account he never scored (except once) when calvin was healthy....yes, i see that as pretty average. Decent yardage, great yac. Cant score and couldnt get open when it mattered most.

You claimed Tate was average with CJ. You're a schmuck..

Isn't it awesome?? lol
 
So let me see if I can compile what I've gleened from this thread....

Golden Tate is average.. at best.
Calvin Johnson is injured and one man can't carry the team.
We have no running game at all.
Our offensive line sucked.

And all this from the same people who think Stafford is a terrible QB who should have scored 42 a game with all of his amazing offensive weapons?

I see. The Negative Nancies on this board change who's fault the low scoring offense was based on the thread, with no logic or consistency behind it.

Ink, youre missing a lot of info.

Golden Tates numbers are average when calvin is 100% healthy and on the field. The stat lines prove it. 1 TD when calvin is on the field....1 (yes, I understand he had a couple games with 90 yards)! Sure morons like LKP and tony love to take 1 thing that people say and point at it and say its wrong. If all I said was "tate is average"....then yes...id be wrong. But that's not what I said....ever.

Ive said countless times that its because Stafford sucks...has little to nothing to do with Tate or his ability.

Run game is a product of our shitty upper mgmt. and trickles all the way down to our shitty qb. Mayhew waits til its too late to ever address the oline. Peterman and fox in the past....this year it was relying on a banged up UDFA to hold up the right side. Lombardis playcalling was awful....never setting us up for success in the run game. Predictable and not flexible. Theres no reason we shouldn't have seen more audibles to run the ball vs a 5 man box. Its not hard to do....either our qb is too dumb. Or our Ocord blows.

LKPs the only idiot who thought we should be scoring 42 points a game. But its disheartening that we couldn't score more than 20 for a majority of the year. Put way to much pressure on our defense and it was a small miracle they responded to that pressure all season the way they did.

So I guess I don't get your post. You call us negative nancies but then you go on to agree with everything? You think the oline sucked? you think the run game sucked? you think Stafford didn't play up to par? So it seems youre being negative like the rest of us....but just want to place less of the blame on Stafford. Im ok with that....just a difference in opinion. My opinion is a #1 overall pick qb that gets paid as much as he does should be able to overcome those things. Stafford never overcomes anything....he just adds more excuses to his loooooooooooooooong list.
