Stafford and Megatron hurting?


Chaos

Recommended Posts

It may not make a huge difference, but Stafford has a broken finger on his throwing hand affecting his grip on the ball so he's wearing gloves (but he said that had nothing to do with throwing four INT's yesterday). :rolleyes:

/David Carr flashback

Looks like Johnson got banged up near the end of the game as well. I doubt we're fortunate enough to catch the Lions without their offensive superstars on the field, but we need any edge we can find.

u're right it won't. The Panthers defense will show him sympathy and let him take his time throwing the ball.

Also as I said before, the Panthers are better get their fighting head ready because it seems the Lions don't take to well to losing. So if the Panthers manage to pull a win off, they better get ready to RUMBLE.

It was funny as heck seeing the highlight of Stafford trying to take down that guy on the Bears team. U sure it's not during that moment where he almost got his behind whopped that he injured his finger?:smilielol5::smilielol5:

I dont even see how this should be an issue-

we have two guys on our team who do nothing but kick the ball

if they cant keep their kicks out of the best returners hands we have a real problem

did you not see that white guy run one back on us?

I was going to say the Lions are not the same team they were the first 5 weeks, but hell we are losing to average teams, so we are going to need the Lions to have a bad day.

We're just a inconsistent team, which is normal because we're young.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
