I love the shot in the trailer where Stafford makes a throw as he gets rocked by McNeil and he gets up and screams BOOM looking at Hutch. Then he yells “bring it!” Yea the Lions did bring it, and sent your ass home.

I would be a lot more concerned about the Rams, if Donald was still there.

The way they’re boiling that O gives reason for concern. Ppl that think Stafford poses no threat are crazy.

… Still expect our guys to kick thier ass.
I love our guys manhandling them up front, & especially the prospect of our coach out coaching theirs.

We are the barbarian hoard…but also … much, much more.

I love everything about Stafford. The way he played for us. The way he left with grace. The way he never dumped on us after he left and maintained philanthropy in our town after leaving. The way they remembered this town positively. I booed him relentlessly while we had our moment but will happily cheer for his into when we see him in the regular season. Proud to be a Stafford Lions jersey owner. The Cleveland mic’d up game made me love the guy.

I was there. The highlight of an otherwise dismal season. Well, that and finally beating the Redskins, which the Lions seemingly hadn’t done in ages.

They talk about concussions and CTE and player safety all the time right…

Well Stafford was knocked the ■■■■ out during that playoff game and kept playing.

Player safety over everything unless it’s a playoff game :wink: then nothing to see here.

Like alot of QBs Stafford will play as well as his Oline. Last year the Rams gave him time. I’m impressed how well the Rams turned their line around last year from the atrocity they fielded in 2022

Agree -I get a little nervous about it…cuz Matt is top tier, but… our team as a whole is better. Our team has the potential of having games where they literally score every time (never punt… win without even putting our best player on the field)

I mean, you could look at his arm and understand that there was something neurological going on. It bothers me that even when I notice it on TV, sometimes they just wave it off. They should be catching MORE concussions, not fewer.

I have been a coach of players with concussions. So far, they have ALWAYS said they are fine and want to go back in. Nope. You would think they treat their multi-million dollar players a little better than they do…

Agree. But I also think Stafford would have murdered someone if the coaches took him out of that playoff game

He’s a hard dude not to respect. I’m gonna watch this thing.

While I agree… it shouldn’t be his call though. It was a playoff game so the doctors and refs ignored the obvious Knockout blow.

A couple years ago they kicked St. Brown out of the Cowboys game when he wasn’t even concussed at all. After passing protocols they still wouldn’t let him back in.

Kelly was complaining Lions fans boooed her kids when she should have been complaining about why her knocked out husband was still playing.

Biggest thing was injuries. I mean we broke records in 2022. Last year we stayed healthy and drafting Avila was a big plus as well as acquiring Dotson who came out of no where and was a absolute stud.

“It fired me up to go out there and try to go for 400 and a bunch of touchdowns and let them know what they’re missing,” Matthew Stafford said.

Sorry Matt but we’re not missing you at QB. There’s players on that Ram team that I’d like to have here in Detroit but a broken-down QB who makes too many mistakes is not one of them.
Thanks for being our QB for 12 years but your like the ex-girlfriend that nobody ever thinks about anymore.

What we are missing? He was the one who wanted to leave…

I actually thought Stafford was toast after the 2022 season and I was quite impressed with how well he played in 2023
