Not looking good, teams might be figuring out the defense it looks like. Hopefully they can pull it together.
6-2 with a completely beaten up team, now heading into a bye. This team will hopefully get healthy and watch out down the stretch. And people can ***** about Stafford all they want but hes playing winning football instead of putting up fantasy stats like last year, if theyre winning who cares?
No. It's not like incomplete passes and picks in any way positively contribute towards winning. Or do you think there's some kind of magic connection in the universe that makes winning more likely when Stafford makes mistakes? The reason the Lions needed to win this on a last second FG (which through sheer luck they got to re-take) is that the Lions couldn't score a TD on two opportunities from within the Falcons 5 yard line.
I think Stafford isn't awful and a QB who will keep your offense functional, but he's also not an elite QB. Without Megatron he's just about getting by. You can win with that kind of QB if your defense is really solid and so far the Lions' D has held together - and that's the real reason the Lions are 6-2, not Stafford playing "differently".
To be fair past 2 games were missing our top 3 tight ends and the best WR and bush who usually comes up with a good play a game. And have had almost no run game. 48 and 39 rushing past 2 games is pretty bad. Hopefully we can get rested up with our bye week

The pick today was not Stafford's fault at all. The receiver fell down as Stafford threw the ball, nothing he can do about that.
Not really Michigan related, but stunned at the news of the passing of Oscar Taveres. Baseball just lost one of the brightest young stars to come along in the least decade. Very sad.
What a gag job by the Falcons. Go Lions!

Atlanta's most prominent area code is 404.

Jokes aside, Oscar's tragic passing reminded me of Darryl Kile (2002) and Cory Lidle (2006). Rest in peace.
They'll change but Vegas gave the Tigers the third best odds of winning the WS next season. I chuckled, whatever you say Vegas oddmakers.
A truly sad day in Ann Arbor. The legendary AD David Brandon is resigning.
