I'll buy into the Lions being anything more than a team that's just getting lucky when they do something legitimate in the playoffs. As for Stafford. Look at the stats of the Lions for effiency in the red zone. They were better last year.

Individual QB ratings (Stafford ranks 7th in the league in rating.

Advanced Metrics show the Lions as being toward the bottom of the league in overall efficency.

To be honest, I feel like I'm watching 2015 MSU. Everyone knew they were bad, but they somehow managed to win, then when it came time to actually play, they got smashed in the face and their team has been broken ever since.

Did you miss the part that said "Best in the NFL?" Because, it says that. Like, there isn't one QB in the entire league that has been better than him in the red zone. Not one.

And, who is it that gets Prater into range to make those kicks? Or is he kicking them from his own end zone?

I mean, you guys have to realize how ridiculous you look at this point, right? It's not just me. It's NFL analysts on TV, column writers, coaches, etc all describing Stafford as somewhere between the best QB in the NFL to at least a legit MVP candidate. His statistics put him in the elite category, the team is winning....

...and you guys continue to suggest that he's somewhere between shit and mediocre. Just man up and admit you were wrong, there would be more dignity in it

In those previous 8 years... Stafford had the worse coaching... The worse GM... And the worse offense coordinator... Now that he has decent coaching... One hell of a GM... And a decent offense coordinator... He's still shit?!?
