All year...I agree with the comments about Stafford. All year even starting in the preseason he just seemed off. It's also quite obvious to me that he isn't held accountable at all. Over tailspin at the end of the season he seemed unable to pull it together to hit receivers even when wide-open. Hopefully Caldwell will take Stafford to task and make him responsible for his behavior. The guy has great talent he just needs work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-67220830052529800812014-01-12T23:55:49.928-05:002014-01-12T23:55:49.928-05:00Schwartz & co spent their time putting loss...Schwartz & co spent their time putting loss's on the players. Over and over I heard that they were one or 2 plays away from this win or that win. By saying such things they are saying that if this player or that player had just made the play then they'd of won. Never did I hear we called bad plays or we (coaches) called the wrong plays for the situation. Everyone and their brother saw the bad play calling....throwing passes when you should be running out the clock, etc....Gary Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-67734164561314498622014-01-12T13:03:54.918-05:002014-01-12T13:03:54.918-05:00Watch Stafford in the last several games and you w...Watch Stafford in the last several games and you will see a QB that is jittery and nervous in the pocket, like he doesn't know whay to do or is afraid of getting hit.

Don't ask him if he wants to work with a QB coach, tell him he's working with a QB coach.. The organization treats Stafford as it he's a top 5 QB and he's not.

We, as fans, buy tickets, jerseys, etc... which in turn pays their rediculous salaries. So commenting on what we feel is a negative to our lions team is the only way to express it. We aren't in the meetings with g.m. or coaches. If Stafford wants to be elite, than he needs to act like it. He shut down bush on the meeting. Which was terrible. He said it wasn't a must win game when we were 7-6. Last I checked, in the NFL every game is must win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-82337271912516117862014-01-11T18:10:32.338-05:002014-01-11T18:10:32.338-05:00Exactly.

And, how many veterans are going to listen to a 25 year old? Stafford is an amazing talent, and far above what a normal 25 year old 2-3 years removed from college would be doing and performing. It's really nauseating how critical lions fans can be. If you're a fan, be supportive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-79682621633488777612014-01-11T18:09:13.616-05:002014-01-11T18:09:13.616-05:00Remember when Bush called a team meeting, and then...Remember when Bush called a team meeting, and then Stafford called it off just as they began to unravel, they had just lost their second game in a row to Tampa Nov 24th.

What have we seen that leads us to believe this. I don't think he hates Bush at all. Bush has been in the league longer than Stafford and I believe Stafford looks up to him as a veteran player. Why does it seem that many detroiters imagine this kind of false drama and locker room soap opera. It is because we have nothing better to do. The Lions obviously aren't entertaining us by winning. I just pray we get the right coach in here that can change this around because it is depressing to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-4414195916393574822014-01-11T17:13:31.393-05:002014-01-11T17:13:31.393-05:00Matt Stafford isn't a leader period and never ...Matt Stafford isn't a leader period and never will be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426182242453358394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-90795155129213931682014-01-11T16:51:05.465-05:002014-01-11T16:51:05.465-05:00I don't think Matt Stafford likes Reggie Bush ...I don't think Matt Stafford likes Reggie Bush very much, because Reggie Bush is saying the things that Matt Stafford should be saying because he (Matt)is supposed to be the leader.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14833987508690397318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-80890241495479679102014-01-11T16:35:06.210-05:002014-01-11T16:35:06.210-05:00I think he should be saying what the players need ...I think he should be saying what the players need to improve that final stretch of the season was awful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
