Well at least it was a rookie that cost the Lion's today and not someone who's been here a while ...

I love the AD at the top of this page. It's a Dre Bly jersey.

he is still going to be a better pro QB .... did he do it against the Seahawks who only had 3 INTs going into this game?

CapitalTigers · #**291** (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 06:22 PM

17-0 and lose 32-20 after the first quarter. Bad coaching, horrible QB'ing, and the team is once again is falling apart internally.

Wow. Some of you act like you are actually surprised and expected something different.

Just make note of the closest beer guy and you should be OK. I'm still jealous of that plan you have as I'd like to be there myself for some absurd reason.

Hey, how about going 0-16 and having an eight year winning percentage under .300 and keeping MOST of the front office.

This team gets what it deserves. You will not see a home game on TV for another three years - and they still won't fix it.

Manning threw 28 picks his first season. Now, I'm not saying Stafford will develop into a Hall of Fame talent, but it just speaks to the nature of rookie QB's. Guys like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco were the exception and not the rule. Way too early to suggest that Stafford is a bust.

You'll get to a point where you watch to see how many different ways they can lose. I reached the apathy point a few years back. If the Lions were to move I truly would not care.

The Lions were not upset by the Rams. The Redskins were upset by the Lions.

Exactly, after watching this team for the past, well forever, how could you ever say the Lions were upset by another team.

The gameday experience at Ford Field is the worst I have ever been to at any stadium/arena anywhere in the country. From the security outside to the ushers who think they are police officers it's bad. The Silverdome was a great day, Ford Field is terrible.

Can't do the get-drunk thing on Turkey Day, dinner is at 4:30pm.

Well, I agree with you that it is way too early to make any judgements. But the picks today were not the fault of the O-line or the receivers. They are almost completely on Stafford.

Vonlenska · #**308** (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 06:30 PM

I just wish this team could get it right once. Just one damn time.

I agree. Put him on the Patriots or Colts or Vikings and he would probably be doing a whole hell of a lot better. Not every elite QB dominates in their rookie year.

You are right. I never really enjoyed myself there, but it's definitely better to be home and far away from CFL gamedays for instance. Your analysis is definitely spot on however.

Believe me, if my dad wouldn't dis-own me I'd give you my ticket. He's already not pleased that I gave up my tickets to my sister and her family, ending the T-day tradition after 14 years would not be good. :)

DTroppens · #**315** (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 06:35 PM

People can bring up other reasons why the Lions are going to lose this game, but it comes down to ONE THING - five interceptions.

That's all that needs to be said. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic display by your No. 1 draft pick rookie QB - especially after a 17-0 lead.

lordstanley · #**316** (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 06:38 PM

I would have loved to have been watching this game in a Vegas sportsbook when Stafford, just needing to throw a few more incompletes for the Lions to at least cover the spread, throws his 5th INT to lose by 12.

The only good news about today for me is that I was actually sitting in my car early this morning about to drive 3 hours each way to/from Seattle to watch this in person. I thought better of it, which is a big step for me. Besides, I'm sure traffic on the I-5, from people rushing to get to a game between 1-6 Detroit and 2-5 Seattle, would have been clogged.

And next week they will give up 40 pts, another week they wont be able to run the ball and another week they will give up some returns for a TD. Its always something with this team.

The first step is to admit you have a problem.

BTW: Have we all gotten off the "Kevin Smith is awesome" bandwagon now?

Pass rusher. Offensive line. Get better up front and the rest will fall into place.

I dont think he is awesome, but I think he would be fine with an offensive line.

We needed everything last draft, so I wasnt too mad, but this year we NEED to take o-line and d-line, especially an end.
