Matt Stafford is the suckiest suck to ever suck

[jaadam4]

Now what is the winning % when they get a 100 yd runner? The He man club is gonna run for the hills from that stat!

But everyone got to see it for themselves. As a defender, it just makes you just that much more cautious. Because when someone just churns out yards, and firsts, and time is just ticking away, and you're getting tired and frustrated, you just aren't as focused on the pass. It's like a slow death.

And it only to 70 games!

Stafford has had no running game and no defense for his career with the Lions.

Yep, we have a QB problem!

Matty and Matty are taking us the Super Bowl baby!!

What is Matt Staffords record in games with a 100 yard rusher?
What is Matt Staffords record in games with good pass protection?
What is Matt Staffords record in games where the defense allows 10 points or less?

NBC threw out a stat that since Reggie Bush ran for over 100 yards there were something like 485 games played of those games there have been 127 100 rushers. what they didn't break down or I didn't see is out of those 127 games how games did the team with a 100 yard rusher win.

pump the brakes little but I get it

Let's see how they do or how they improve next week against a crappy Cowboy team who is at home.

Yeah. Maybe the Lions could get Brady as an insurance backup... but man, Tepid Tommy just can't be counted on to make the plays to win games anymore. The Patriots should cut him and play somebody else.

Chances are they won it if the team was a losing team, if it was against a winning team, not so good.

[chemiclord]

But who? Who would that someone be?

I'm not a GM. It's not my job.

Last time I checked during Stafford's career, the Lions were the worst or second worse rushing team in the NFL. Reggio Bush was OK but with him they never got in the top half of the NFL. The only time the Lions had a truly threatening running game under Stafford was with Best in the first half of 2011

Oh and I forgot having a good coach

This is team built around the QB and three top receivers, would you expect them to be one of the top running teams?

I never said be a top running team, just be average, get to consistently be 15th in the league rather than 26-32. Their running game has been truly terrible. Take that strawman and burn it to the effing ground. They have spent numerous resources on running backs who didn't work, Best, Abdullah, LeShoure, Bush, Kevin Smith with Stafford alone. The Lions have been comically incompetent at running the ball since Barry retired.

The Lions best year running the ball in the Stafford era was Bush's one ok year with the Lions in 2013, they were 17th. Most of the time they are in the bottom 6. Its not a hard concept.

Conversely, New England has never been known as a big time running team, but they consistently hover in or near the top 10 with a few exceptions.

If they can start running the ball like they did Sunday, then we can finally see what its like.

Just shows what an impact a great QB has on the rest of the team.
