I don't know why the Lions can't get it together. They've got tons of talent. Stafford was having a phenomenal season until the injury to his throwing hand.
I think that it's just the Lions being what the Lions always have been (since '57) and always will be.
I just heard an unbelievable stat-
Since Stafford has been the Lions QB, they've beaten 6, yes 6, teams that have finished the season with a better than 9-7 at the end of the year. That's a record of 6-46 against teams that had a better-than-9-7 record at the end of the year.
