Get StartedAnybody still worried about Stafford?
Looks like they did get their shit together in the 2nd half.

We outrushed them 117-105 (they only had 22 carries to our 33). And we dominated the time of possession 36:19 to 23:41. Good balance on offense.
To be fair, the Lions ran a shit ton more plays (+24) so the numbers might be a bit inflated. We'll get a better view in the coming weeks on how balanced the offense is. Though I wouldn't mind seeing the short defensive series and turnovers continue.

Botched snap, pettigrew fumble and suh penalty negating pick 6 is concerning though.
The penalty on Suh was in my opinion not a very good call. The grew fumble is angering as is way to many team drops. The defense was very very solid. The negated touchdowns were infuriating. Pretty poorly called game by refs today. On the flip side I was incredibly impressed by Linehan and now have zero worries about Stafford. Bush changes this offense in the best ways and has really put a ton of pressure on the defense. Fauria deserved to make the team and played well. Calvin was still Megatron even without the big numbers he killed that defense by pushing coverage. Dline dominated the run game and after the big run the whole defense killed AP.
After the first week we are officially first in the NFC North...being a Lions fan you take what you can get.
