Game 11: Bears @ Lions *Thanksgiving Day* Thread

[kalinecountry]

Lions RB Theo Riddick has 267 receptions since the 2014 season, tied with Le'Veon Bell for the most by an RB in the NFL over that span.

Lions RB LeGarrette Blount rushes for his 2nd TD of the day and 5th of the season. This marks his second multi-TD game this season. Since entering the NFL in 2010, Blount has 12 multi-TD games, tied for the 3rd-most among active RBs. His teams are 10-1 when he rushes for 2+ TDs.
Since the 2014 season (including playoffs), @Lions RB LeGarrette Blount has rushed for 43 TDs, the most in the NFL in that span.

The Lions have now recorded 2.0 sacks in 10 consecutive home games, the third-longest streak in franchise history and longest active streak in the NFL.

Not sure where you get top 5 QB. Any single year he's been a fringe top 10 under cooter. Prior to cooter he got benched because he sucked so bad. This year he's back to playing like he did the first 6 years

So we don't count Johnson, then ignore Blount having a good game as a starter for that injured player.

He's been one of the best QBs in the league the last few yrs. For some reason he's regressed. Time to switch up this offense and get the juices flowing.
You're talking about Stafford getting benched one time like 5 yrs ago??? Wasn't that for a half??? I forget because it was a lifetime ago. But ya, great point lmao.
Blount hasn't been good this yr. I know he's a backup but 1 game isn't fooling me.

Stafford was 6th in qb rating 2017
Was top 8 then broke his finger for last 4 in 2016
19 tds andn2 ints to finish 2015 with cooter

Had 5 100+ ratings in a row this year and was at around 100 rating prior to Tate trade then they traded Tate and had 96 rating against Seattle, then Lang and decker hurt and then Marvin Jones and Kerryon hurt. Stafford was balling then lost ALL his support

Due to the last few weeks with very little support. Brees and mahomes would have the same or worse rating

Yes, those 4 young undrafted players that caught TD's from Brees. Brees is about 40 times a better. HOF. Matt will be forgotten once he retires if not before hand.

Golden Tate has more receptions this year, for the Lions, then those 4 do in their entire careers combined.

exactly....Brees can make anybody look good...even 4 undrafted free agents.

Brees had other weapons, protection and a run game


IF Stafford had protection against Bears twice and Vikings, he could do what Brees did

Stafford has never done what Brees has done. He isn't even in the same stratosphere as Drew Brees. Drew Brees is so much more accurate it isn't even comparable. Drew Brees' career average comp % is 67.3 which is better than Stafford's BEST season in 2015 (67.2%)

If you want to compare Stafford to other QBs, compare him to his equals. Guys like Andy Dalton, Derek Carr, Alex Smith & Cam.

Stafford has the TD to ints as Brees in his first 100 games. And Stafford still doing very well. Stafford will be 5th or 6th all time in TDs. And he did it all without much support

Brees has protection, dink and dunk and run game support. Stafford is the same level as Brees.

 

[mhughes0021]

He's andy dalton. That's it. No more... no less. Not good enough to command how much we pay him.

Had 100 rating then lost ALL his support facing some tough defenses. OC is predictable as well.

Stafford is still elite.

You say Brees is a dink and dunk passer yet he averages 7.6 air yards per attempt (Matt 6.9) and 7.6 YPA (Matt 7.2)

TD % Brees 5.4 Matt 4.2
INT % Brees 2.4 Matt 2.4
Comp % Brees 67.3 Matt 62.3
yards per game Brees 283 Matt 276

Brees >>>>> Matt and it isn't even close. :lmao:

Brees has incredible protection. and Saints run illegal pick routes all the damn time. Plus the run game. And more turnovers forced by his defense

 

[LKP]

Stafford and Brees have similar numbers the first 100 games. Stafford can do what Brees has down the last few years. Can't wait to watch hall of fame Stafford ceremony

2 more tds for Ebron. And hilton doyle are back. Ebron still producing with multiple weapons. Moreso actually now with all their weapons back. That's what happens when you have a good qb.

Some of it is how they use him, but I agree that a lot of it is the QB play. Ebron had 11 TDs in 4 years with the Lions and 11 TDs in 11 games with Luck as the QB.

Luck >>>>> Matt

Ebron had a rushing TD too I believe. So 12 with the Colts. But also a rushing TD with Detroit. 12 to 12.

Ebron has proven you all wrong about him basically. Proves Mayhew right too.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lions and Stafford missed used Ebron sadly.
