My favorite stat

[Mebert]

3 penalties for 25 yards. and the 15 yard penalty was a bullshit call.

 

[Kreton]

best 3rd down team in the NFL.
Stafford best QB thru 50 games in NFL history.
First place in the division.

 

[Microwahevo]

Stafford best QB thru 50 games in NFL history

No no, not the greatest through 50 games. He just has the most passing yards through the first 50 games. Hardly makes him the greatest.

Stafford needs one more game for 50.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Stafford best QB thru 50 games in NFL history.

Put the kool aid down. Most passing yards thru 50 games and the "best QB thru 50 games" are two totally different things.

My favorite stat was the one in the box score that read 40 - 32, and it wasn't really even that close

3 penalties for 25 yards. and the 15 yard penalty was a bullshit call.

The horsecollar ? Yeah that was bullshit. Only 3 real mental lapses that I recall. One was I forget who lined up offsides and they didn't protect the edge on the 2 long runs. Not bad at all.

 

[Microwahevo]

and the 15 yard penalty was a bullshit call.

Gotta disagree here. It was a horse collar, plain and simple. We wouldn't want that done tongue guys. Not sure why guys even reach like that anymore.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Best qb thru fifty games, hardly.

Numbers dont lie.

Numbers dont lie.

You've never studied accounting, have you?

 

[gvsulaker82]

Numbers dont lie.

Neither do facts. In the past several years the nfl has evolved into a pass happy league. Instead of just one or two qbs having 300 yard games per week we could see 5-10. Hell, rivers threw for 400 yards yesterday, peyton is on pace to crush the passing td record, etc. Passing yards also does not equal best quarterback. Stafford is good, sure and has the potential to be great but in the first 50 games he isnt even close, and this is coming from a huge stafford supporter.

Here are some numbers for you
1992 42 300 yard passing games the entire season
2002 79 300 yard passing games
2012 126 300 yard passing games

You are right, numbers do not lie but they can easily fool people.
