Big Turk Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Stafford once again making terrible throws, picked off three times, including the first play from the 20 with 38 seconds left after Baltimore took a two point lead... He has turned the ball over 21 times this season himself... He can make great throws but like Romo can get careless with the football way too often... Not sure what Detroit does...pretty clear he is going to be a "stat" guy and not a playoff guy...putting up big numbers during the season but not getting to the playoffs or making early exits...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Ravens' Kicker Jason Tucker deserves the Wow! Six FGs tonight including the game winner from 61 yards out! He's now made 32 consecutive FGs. Impressive. Edited December 17, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Calvin Johnson had a couple of key drops which may have cost them the game and now has nine on the year. So weird. I thought only Stevie dropped passes. Guess the lions should cut this bum also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leelee Phoenix Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Stafford's only a "stat guy", and by stats, counting numbers that mean little in regard to performance, because his team throws a very large amount. He's never been that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 that 2 pt conversion attempt didnt matter Even if he had caught it, no way he could have gotten 2 feet in. It was a bad pass too far out of bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a stat for you....they said on the telecast that Stafford's contract includes $94 million guaranteed money, so if that is true I don't think Stafford is going anywhere anytime soon...even if he continues turning in sub-par performances.

KDIGGZ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Even if he had caught it, no way he could have gotten 2 feet in. It was a bad pass too far out of bounds. I don't agree. I think it's his job to make that catch. Looks like he dove back for it instead of just readjusting his body while staying in bounds. If he's supposed to be the best ever or at least best in our generation then I think he needs to make that play or run a better route that keeps him in bounds. High expectations sure but I think everyone expects more out of him than your typical receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, becasue Stevie is just as much a dynamic playmaker as Johnson. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things johnson does are amazing. Those two drops *almost* cost my fantasy team, but I still squeaked into the finals. I don't know what was up with Calvin - he made the tough catches, but the ones that hit him between the 8 & the 1 were dropped. Perhaps they were too easy for him.

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 In my keeper fantasy league, he's been my QB for the last 2 years. I haven't made the playoffs in 2 years. Basically, there are like 5 times a year where he is going to be horrible. One of the top things I look for in a good Qb is taking care of the football. Stafford is way too loose with the ball. Turnovers kill teams. He will not be a keeper next year. Take that Matt! Also worth pointing out Stafford's rookie year. 2-8 (W-L record is still misleading for QBs), 53.3 %, 13 tds, 20 ints, 6 ypa, 61 QB rating, he was the #1 overall pick and played with the best wr in the NFL. EJ has better stats across the board than MS yet some folks want to give up him. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought only Stevie dropped passes. Guess the lions should cut this bum also. OMG! Big time players are expected to make big time plays. I was pretty shocked and more so disappointed on Megatron's play last night. However, looking at the game from a bigger picture, when your star players are not making star plays on the the Big stage with playoffs on the line, need to take a hard look at the leadership of the organization. The Lions as an organization have ZERO mental toughness and obviously dont know what it means to get fully prepared for critical ball games. On another note - I have Megatron in one of my fantasy leagues and I expected him to have a great. Who did I go against? Justin Tucker ad Reggie Bush. When I saw Megatron's first two drops, I knew I was in trouble. Hats off to Justin Tucker. Here come the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought only Stevie dropped passes. Guess the lions should cut this bum also. Ok, but let's be fair about this. I'm all for trading or dropping SJ - take that bias into account - but Megatron is a freak athlete and need we be reminded of the 300 yard receiving game earlier this year? Or the multiple times that Megatron has "carried" that offense and made a significant difference in the outcome of a game?? I know you're not comparing the two talent wise, but at the same time by making the sarcastic comment about how the Lions should "cut this bum also" due to drops much like SJ, that's myopic and lacking serious perspective. So, on the one hand you can't claim you're not comparing the two when in the other hand you just did...so, let's cut the silliness and realize there's no way on God's green earth SJ is ANYTHING like Megatron, in talent or production.

IDBillzFan Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Calvin Johnson had a couple of key drops which may have cost them the game and now has nine on the year. The first drop was completely unforgivable for a receiver of his caliber. There was just no understanding how that happened. But while his drops likely played a role in their loss, nothing played a bigger role than the endzone PI against the Ravens defender that didn't get called. It was a critical third-down play, and given how well they were running last night, Bush is easily in for the TD from the one on three tries. Ref completely fubar'ed that call. If only Brady* were throwing the ball, flags would be flying. Stafford, on the other hand, just goes to prove how much thoughtless emotion comes from message board fans who see QBs like Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick as the rule and guys like Stafford and Romo and RGIII as the exception. There isn't a single fan on this or any other board who can confidently look at the play of EJ Manuel and make anything other than a wild guess about what kind of quarterback he will be. But, y'know, we should use our #1 pick on another QB next year...just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
