It was nice to see Blount play well for a change.

Definitely proved he's more than just a goaline guy still.

Watching Oklahoma and west Virginia. I'd take Greer or Murray and 90 mil over Stafford 10 times out of 10.

I have no issues with putting this loss on Stafford BUT playcalling is still dogshit. Defense played solid against the run but still let a backup QB slice ya through the air. Not huge numbers but still beat them up.
Stafford was playing a good game but obviously the 2 picks killed us. Golladay has to make that catch at the end if he wants to be great but whatever. I'm not even mad anymore lol. Stafford is going nowhere. Draft defense and turn this team into a defensive juggernaut

Play-calling is based off Matt's ability.

Agree with all of this. That Galladay play...even the VERY best probably only come up with that ball half the time. He made a great attempt but couldn't haul it in.

Agreed. Stafford put that ball only where Golladay could get it. It was rifled and Golladay made a great attempt at it. He got 2 hands on it but couldn't haul it in. Sucks. Stafford on the next play throws the INT. He has to at least give Roberts a fighting chance to go up for a 50/50 ball in that situation. Horrible throw...

You're an idiot. You don't call 3 yrd outs on 3rd and 8. Cooter has zero imagination and creativity. Time for this loser to go and bring in a fresh young up and comer OC.

Couldn?t disagree more. Stafford is a big armed, seem splitting, gun slinger. JBC has helped him become a more well rounded QB....but this isn?t the offense that fits him best.

Maybe you forget '12-'14 when he was that gunslinger. Why do you think he became the guy he is now.. It certainly isn't the OC. I'm sorry but seem splitting? Matt? You sill buy into "he can make any throw." How many OC do we need..

 

[mhughes0021]

I highly question Staffords deep accuracy. So an offense where he gets it out quick might suit him better. Hes never been a guy that hits a deep seem....i cant remember the last time our TE caught a ball over the middle like that. 2 years...you have two years to fix all your holes....then you need to draft a new qb and put 20 mil a year in your pocket. Stafford absolutely should not be in the equations after 2 years or Quin (GM) will be the next to go.

Stafford will be a hall of fame qb. Lions win multiple super bowls with him

9th alternate for a pro bowl and no playoff wins.. No awards not even sure he got a vote for MVP nothing.

Matthew Stafford is bad right now, but trading him is dumb.
Why, for the millionth time, the Lions shouldn?t trade Stafford.

Are we running 1 route every play?

As far as I know the QB doesn't have to throw it to their 3 yard out guy and can audible.
