If I was a sports bettor -- I would have bet the house on the Lions today. They will win this game just to rub salt in the wounds and to spite me.
No way can losing four fumbles be acceptable.
sweet -- let's score a TD so we can hear Schwartz tells us how they salvaged the season and have momentum for 2014 after the win.
Reggie Bush is tied for the lead with Stevan Ridley for most fumbles lost by a Running back. When you add in the 12 dropped passes -- it puts a damper on what would be a great season stats wise.
Not saying that it's acceptable, but I don't see a major issue between two fumbles lost (acceptable) and four fumbles lost. He definitely needs to work on it, but on an importance scale of 1 to 10 I'd peg it at about a 5. His positive contributions far outweigh 2 fumbles past the (very unofficial) acceptable limit. That's all I'm saying. Bad yes, bad enough to bench or cut (yes, some are suggesting this already) him for it? No, definitely not yet.
Stafford has turned the ball over like 5 times as many times as Bush. That's a far bigger issue, imo...
Palmer heard all of you guys talking shit about him and decided to make an impact today, lol.
2nd and 22? On a ten yard penalty? What?
I don't have much tolerance for turnovers. So were in disagreement here. Im with you on Stafford's turnovers having more of an impact and a bigger issue. But I do expect some picks, it's part of the risk of passing. God damnit, there's another turnover reverse screwing us. Hey.... Alright, intentional grounding.
This is as important a game as a preseason waste of time.
Another season of hep shot the hell down and another season goes by with the Lions not making a Super Bowl appearance, hello what are we like the only original team to never make a SB? Atlanta?
So what I'm getting is that some picks are acceptable, but zero fumbles are? If so I disagree. I think some fumbles are part of the risk of running in the NFL. I also think both Bush and Stafford are over the line of an acceptable amount in each category, but Bush is much closer to what is an acceptable amount than Stafford is...
