No, they only made it to the playoffs in the first place because the defense drug that offense kicking and screaming into it. If you hadn't noticed the Lions offense hadn't done much all year - so I don't know why you'd have expected them to change their colors come playoff time. Lions averaged 20 points a game, they scored 20.
Lions had a 3 score lead late in the 3rd quarter and they had only allowed 3 consecutive scores just once all year (fukn Tom Brady). That defense has that scenario they bring that game home 9 out of 10 times - no matter if Jabustus Russell was the QB. It wasn't that they lost, it was how they lost. Every time they had DAL dead to rights they'd do something stupid and give them new life.
If Stafford scores 30+, that should be a BONUS, not a necessity because as we have seen the odds simply aren't in your favor if your defense is so bad you HAVE to score 30.
