How bad was it?

If the Lions weren't 17 points down, I bet he would have come back in.

Stafford has looked nothing short of spectacular the last two weeks. He is validating my hype entirely. He outplayed Cutler today.

Lions need to fire Stan Kwan and probably whoever suggested taking Williams over Knox in the draft.

Addendum

10-04-2009, 03:23 PM

If the Lions special teams played as well as their offense or defense, this game wouldn't have been close.

Or if the Lions didn't give up 5 sacks :awesome:

StorminNorman

10-04-2009, 03:25 PM

Or if the Lions didn't give up 5 sacks :awesome:

Actually that is entirely irrelevant to the outcome of the game. The passing game was the least of the Lions problems. They outplayed the Bears on offense and defense. Again, they lost the game on special teams.

Take away Knox's return, that's still 41 points the Lions defense gave up

StorminNorman

10-04-2009, 03:30 PM

Has nothing to do with just one return. The Bears started every drive at the 50 yard line. The Lions started behind their 20.

That wasn't really by luck or chance. Maynard's been doing that for years. The Bears' special teams, especially in recent history, have been among the top, if not the top, in the NFL for a while now. Shouldn't really come as a surprise.

They've stymied Buffalo all day. The only semblance of offense for the Bills started to come after it was 31-3 and they still only had a little over 200 yards total offense. Miami has held Buffalo to 1/11 on 3rd down, forced 3 turnovers (including a Pick 6) and just closed the door again inside the red zone to kill the game. What else do you want? :dry:

If the defense was so tremendous, then they wouldn't have given up 5 touchdowns.

One of those TD's came when Chicago started at the 10 yard line. The rest came with the Bears starting in or near their side of the 50.

They held Chicago below their normal YPG. The Bears were 2-10 on third down. The score doesn't tell the story at all.

By yes, KC is 0-4. The fact is though they are playing with the least talented team in the NFL and are still playing very tough. Week after week Kansas City is competing and that is incredibly impressive. Todd Haley's coaching performance has been remarkable, and it's going unnoticed because of the record.

yeah...we had a very good chance today. The jets held saints to 10 points offensively. Sanchez hurt us with those 2 turnovers which led to 14 points. But the rookie had to have a bad game and i it happened against a real good team

yea i knew it was going to be a hard game against the Saints so theres no worries, its actually good that he losses like this so he can get better by learning his mistakes

As a Texans fan, it was pretty funny to watch. I have to admit that he was much better today than he has been. Seemed like his receivers were dropping a lot of catchable passes. He still had his share of uncatchable throws though.

Its been a combo of both. He isnt nearly as bad as his #s indicate. However the return of Chaz Schillens this week will cause him to get an instant spike.

He barely held onto that one too. Russell put a lot of velocity on it and DHB bobbled it for a couple seconds before finally gaining control. It was a very good throw by Russell (hit DHB right in the chest). DHB's best play of the day was a reverse for 20 yards. Their offense is a total embarrassment though. Texans had arguably the worst defense in the league coming into this game and the Raiders' offense managed to make them look good. The safety/kick return TD was a hilarious sequence.

Jets lost to a very good Saints team, and I have to say that Sanchez looked like the rookie QB that he is and made tons of mistakes. Their D really stopped Brees and played great, but when your QB threw 3 INT and 1 fumble, there's really no chance for you to win. Hopefully Sanchez will learn from this, because their schedule won't get easier, esp. with Pats now starting to click on all cylinders.

As for the Raiders, after that impressive victory they have regressed and JaTubby Russell is playing like other team's 3rd string QB. The big news is that Tom Cable may get arrested later, although they should put Al Davis behind bars instead.

I'm kind of 50/50 when it comes to Whitlock. He tells it like it is in some respects, but in others I think he lets his personal preference sway him (which is only human... we all do this to some extent). It's like when he talks about Serena Williams in tennis. He criticizes her when she acts like a big baby, which I give him credit for because John McEnroe and Manly Carillo would never say anything bad about her at all until the recent incident at the US Open. But he then gushes over her talent, which is certainly there... but he claims that, if she wanted to, she could beat any player in the game, even Roger Federer. Even on Federer's worst day, that could never happen.

Finally, a great win by the Steelers. Sharp contrast from last year... offense is making big plays but the defense seems to only be on its game in the first half. Hopefully once Troy is back we'll be in top-notch form. Overall though, it's still too early to say... but I'm happy tonight, regardless. :) Big Ben is playing great, Mendenhall was looking like the new Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward and Heath Miller were tough and reliable as always and Mewelde Moore... not only does he have great hands but who knew he also had an accurate arm?! Love that guy... they had better extend his contract.

Yeah, I really think that Troy will re-invigorate this defense. For some reason, I just get the picture that he's the "missing-link" that is keeping them from continuing their dominance into the end of the game. Could be his leadership, could be his uncanny ability to intercept the ball like... every time it's needed to seal the game. I don't know, but I'm hoping he really is the key.

Mike Wallace is slowly becoming my favorite rookie on the face of the planet. Just when I thought, "Oh ****, now we gotta deal with Sweed and his butterfingers," Wallace turns out to be a freakin' stud. The way the O-Line and Mendenhall played last night too... I'm effin' excited for Troy to return, and to see how dominant the Steelers can really get.

Yeah, if the offense can keep up what it did last night, Troy might be all we need to dominate the league. The Defense is doing fine against the run... it's the pass where they are struggling now. And of course, that's Troy's specialty. When he's healthy... the guy is superhuman.

I aree wholeheartedly with what Tom Jackson & Trent Dilfer said on SC last night about he crappy officiating in games with 'star' QBs. This Brady Rules crap is bogus and if thy're going to do it, then they need to do it evenly across the league.

Tom said it was ruining the entire sport and I agree. Porcelain QBs FTL.

Yeah, I think QBs have been babied a bit too much by the league. I understand that they must be protected, since they are the face of the teams they represented and they sell jerseys and tickets, but right now it's like a legal hit against them will result in penalties. If this keeps up eventually QBs won't need an offensive line, because a touch would result in a 15-yard penalty and a first down lol.
