Dude didn't play great today and we still won going away. Hell if not for a muffled punt and a questionable roughing the kicker penalty they might not have scored.

Not taking anything away from your defense, but the Bears dropped 7 passes today :x Alshon Jeffery alone cost the Bears 60 yards, and dropped two crucial passes on their last drive.

He's 16th in the NFL of starting quarterbacks that have started every game in turnovers.

It's not the turnover, per se, but the decision making process behind it. Two turnovers in the red zone is not smart quarterbacking and against a playoff team would be absolutely debilitating. Stafford has cut down on turnovers since he's came into the league, but when his blunders happen -- and they do happen -- they're atrocious decisions a lot of the time. I'm just sayin'...they might overcome something like that in the Wild Card round. Most likely not, after that.

Edit: Not sure why that second comment you had, but apparently your guard is up. Just sharing my opinion. Whatever if you don't agree.

If not for the few avoidable mistakes Stafford is bound to make each game he'd be a top tier QB

I think he has been spoiled with CJ

He literally just throws ish in wild traffic just because 

Even when CJ is out he still does it like muscle memory

He has all of the tools

The first inteception was a bad decision no doubt. No excuses its was what it was.

But the second one was Golden running the wrong route.

I got 5 words for you.

Eli Manning and Joe Flacco.

He's better now or at least as good as they were when they won it.

Those were Stafford's first 2 red zone INTS in the last 32 games

Edit: The stat is actually he had the same amount of red zone INTs today that he's had in the last 32 games

I'm more concerned about Stafford staying upright more than him throwing interceptions.

When/if the Lions' season ends that is going to be what does it.
 
The run by those quarterbacks didn't have many turnovers. In fact, I remember being utterly speechless at the fact that Flacco didn't have one interception. Not one. And I call them 'runs' becuase that's what they were. Sure, Stafford might be a better quarterback, but he needs to get hot and prove he can. It's one thing to say he's capable just because his peers of equal or lesser ability have done so and another thing to actually go out there and put together a string of games like that. He has all the opportunity to prove me wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it. Not at all.

Flacco's run coincided with his line coming together and keeping him upright, same with Eli.

Stafford has been great when he's had time the entire season.

I'm kinda happy Raiola is about to get suspended.
 
I'm might actually root for the Cheeseheads in the playoffs, though,I'm good with anyone winning aside from Cowgirls and Blitzburg.
 
Playoffs basically start early next week for quite a few teams.

Gonna be one of the most interesting week 17's in recent memory.

Can't ******* wait :smokin

i think it would be hilarious if the Bengals go from leading the division as of today, to not making the playoffs

Broncos tomorrow and @ Pittsburgh next week, it's a real possibility

That's what I'm hoping. Too bad for Marvin Lewis if that happens.
 
Defensive end Michael Bennett: “It was the best run I’ve ever seen. I felt like he was running for freedom or something. Boy, he was gone. They haven’t had a run like that since the underground railroad.”

:lol: this dude bennett is a fool
