Jim Caldwell said Matthew Stafford is "well on his way" to a prolific career and while he wouldn't say a Hall of Fame career, said he wouldn't discount it, either.

Jim Caldwell: "Drew (Brees) has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL for a long, long time."

DON'T EVER COUNT THESE QUARTERBACKS OUT.
Since the start of 2015, Matthew Stafford leads the NFL with 10 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime, including seven this year. Derek Carr and Eli Manning, who each have five this year, are next. (ESPN Stats & Info).

NFC PLAYOFF TEAMS ARE SHORT ON DEFENSE.
Only one of the six teams currently holding a playoff spot in the conference ranks in the top 10 of total defense this season. Three teams sit in the 20s. (ESPN Stats & Info).

WHO WILL TAKE THE NFC NORTH?
People are still high on the Packers but they might, contrary to what Vince Lombardi would say, run out of time. Mike Sando makes sense of the Lions-Vikings quagmire atop the division. Predicting division winners.

IS MATT STAFFORD KRYPTONITE FOR VIKINGS' D?
In two games against Minnesota this season, Stafford posted an 86.5 QBR. That's more than 40 points above what other QBs have posted against the Vikings. (ESPN Stats & Info).

Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy, who is always extremely entertaining, had a great quote. Here are this thoughts of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford:
http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nba/pistons/2016/11/26/detroit-pistons-andre-drummond/94471788/
Pistons' Stan Van Gundy hopes Drummond can follow Stafford's lead.

Van Gundy said he was puzzled why Stafford, 28, had so many critics in the past.
?I never understood what anybody said (about him),? said Van Gundy.
?That?s just me and I don?t know (expletive) about football.
A lot of people think I don?t know (expletive) about basketball.
I definitely don?t know (expletive) about football, but I think (Stafford) is really, really good.?

PrideOfDetroitBlogPODcast: A playoff roadmap emerges. 2 hours.

This week on the PODcast:
Back again from Thanksgiving! Do you have some turkey left over? Boy, we got some thoughts left over from Thursday, we?ll tell you that. Sit down and share a few with us.

With a clean sweep of the Vikings, how does the NFC North play out from here?

A lot has been made about the Lions and their ways of winning. Is this ability to be clutch a ?skill?? How many flaws does this team have? Is the defense, of all things, improving?

With the Saints ahead, we start to chart out the remaining games and how the Lions can make the playoffs from here. With the schedule getting harder, what are the odds for stumbling, and how bad of a stumble can the Lions afford?
What?s the most important game left? What does it all mean for Jim Caldwell?

Rage Corner comes back to take on all y?all who dared say anything bad about Aretha Franklin. Answer for your sins.

Ryan shares the latest from Wally?s World, courtesy of the bizarre ending of the Ohio State-Michigan game.

Mailbag, but you knew that already. Wing sauce flavors for the Lions team, Thanksgiving in other countries, more deconstruction of ?Africa,? and some questions about the Lions offense.
