I'd agree with this. Stafford has improved every aspect of his game year to year. Despite playing for a crap organization like the Lions. He is EASILY the best QB that the Lions have ever had.

Bobby Layne even if he tossed back a few shots at halftime

Home from work and catching the NFL Network replay of Redskins @ Seahawks.

Two drafts ago I railed on the on the 'skins for spending a first round pick on a receiver, Josh Doctson, especially when they were already stocked at the position, but in hindsight the Washington front office knew exactly what they were doing. Garcon and DeSean would soon be off the roster and Cousins would badly need downfield weapons. Doctson has come up big in games Vs the Chief and now the Seahawks in this, his first full season starting.

Maybe the front office did a good job in the draft, but they didn't do a very good job giving Terrelle Pryor a monster contract this year...

wait til next year

Yeah letting Jackson and Garcon walk just to sign Pryor was a disaster.

Packers cut TE Martellus Bennett because of some sort of dispute over a physical. Patriots pick him up on the waiver wire. Seems like they always do this. My guess is Dwayne Allen gets cut by Pats.

it's only the first quarter so I'm not freaking out, but Browns up 10-3 on the Lions. I swear to god if they do lose this game...fire Jim Caldwell immediately.

This is the worst I've ever seen Ryan Shazier play at any level

Every 4 years the Lions get to play the Browns, and it's the one time every 64 games you know the Lions will actually be out-stupided

tie game 17-17 with the Browns driving late in the 3rd QTR.

This game is so Detroit Lions. They need a culture change badly. Caldwell is as mediocre as it comes. Said it before....I'd dump Caldwell and go after that coach in East Lansing.

Missed four tackles today now.
Last one should've worked out for Pittsburgh because the Colts player subsequently fumbled, but the refs screwed up the call.

[Mdot21]

and....Lions down 24-17.

DeShone Kizer has all of the talent in the world. For the first time in a long time, it looks like the Browns have an NFL QB that looks like an NFL QB. 6'4, 235 pounds and he ran a 4.8 at the NFL combine. Strong as an ox but not all muscle bound and bulky. He has the perfect QB build, he's not built like a weight lifter like Brady Quinn was. And unlike Manziel or Quinn, Kizer has a rocket launcher for an arm. Sounds like he's very immature off-field and he needs a lot of development as a QB- he really shouldn't even be playing right now, he should be "redshirting" on the bench and working on that sloppy footwork and reading defenses- but man that is what an NFL QB should look like physically.

Matt Stafford ties it all up. Man he is so so good. He deserves better than the Detroit Lions.

5 years ago, maybe.  If they didn't have Stafford, maybe.  I'm not going to give a 62 year old defensive minded coach his first NFL job, when you have a team built around a QB.
