Lions Notes: Jim Schwartz Focused On Packers, Not Pro Bowl Selections

passing games we see today.

He just did it almost 30 years ago.

I would much rather have 1500-2000 yards on the ground to add to any offense.

others did in different ways.

for what it is worth, starting out as hot as he did against the bolts was refreshing and a nice sign late in the season.

Lets hope he can keep pace in this next game.

we went deep on the first play of the game.

That would be my plan ever week, no matter the coverage. Calvin is that much of a freak, he can make it work if the ball is thrown in his general direction. Even if the throw is incomplete, you put the other team on notice, we will go deep. If it is intercepted, it is like a punt anyhow and it still tells the other team, we are going deep.

Back those safeties off. Force the LBs to play 2 steps deeper.

Eli is a SB winning QB. Saying Staff is on par with him and having more wins is saying a lot.

People might not remember it but Eli was a beast that season he won the SB and he is still one hell of a QB now.

Why would I expect you to recognize that. The NFL world obviously revolves around THE DETROIT LIONS for you. I know when you read the teams name you heard it in a bold deep baritone announcer voice.

"Hell, it does not take a genius to look back at the season and see all those slow starts Stafford had and think. If we have one of those against a playoff team, we are probably toast."

Do you remember all those slow starts? I do.

Do you think we can afford to have a slow start against the competition we will face in the playoffs and survive? I do not.

OMGZ! I must hate the Lions. LMFAO, are you serious? You compared Stafford to Saint Barry. I should have known at that very moment you are clueless.

Records Saint Barry held at the time of his retirement. Most if not all are still his.

If you want to give our QB an A for a season when his record against NFC playoff teams is 0-4 or 1-4, that is on you man.

I tend to think that the best players and teams should beat the other best players and teams. Silly me.

He is a solid B

He’s a high B, but he’s still a B. The fact that he’s a B at 23 years old and less than two full seasons played says a lot. It says he has a very high percent chance of becoming an A.

If I was told I had to win a game tomorrow, not next year or the year after, but tomorrow, there are three, four or maybe five quarterbacks I would rather have than Stafford. That’s why standing here today, he’s a B.

However, if I was building a team to contend in the future, to have as my franchise guy from now for the next decade plus, there’s only one guy I’d rather have, and that’s Rodgers. All the other “A” QBs are over 30.
