You have to be the only person that can't call a horse a horse. Shit is never Stafford or Cooters fault.
Sometimes guys, like Rodgers, just play like shit and the game is on them.
Unless it happens in the end zone on the final play of game or half, you don't know what would happen if a penalty was called. There is a good chance that a offense that hasn't been moving the ball wont magically start moving it.
I wasn't expecting much out of Stafford but he did pretty well today without a running game yet again. He's playing with a dislocated finger on his throwing hand, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Cooter called a bad game though, that's for sure. Way to many screen passes to outside receivers that did not work.
Not having our starting Center or Theo Riddick hurt us pretty badly and for whatever reason it barely got any coverage. I saw Laken Tomlinson, Swanson's backup, get blown up at least twice which resulted in a sack. Riddick would've opened up the passing game out of the backfield.
Either way the offense needs to get the running game going and unless we get Ameer Abdullah back in the next few weeks (not happening), Lions fans are going to have to wait till next season to see something resembling a running game.
