Stafford has been playing horribly the past two games, doing his best Rex Grossman imitation by just aimlessly chucking the ball when he's under pressure. There's a reason why he's never won a playoff game, and it's not just because he's played for the Lions his entire career. He's not the sole reason for their woes, but he bears the most responsibility.
But they have time to correct it. I suspect if someone told them at the start of the season that they'd be 7-3 heading into their bye week that they'd take it. They are still the best balanced team in the conference and the Cards are having their troubles as well, having gotten hosed by the very pedestrian Panthers.
The whole league is hard to figure out this season. Every time you think you have a favorite, they go out and not only lose, they get waxed. The AFC is even whackier than the NFC, with just one team with less than 3 losses. How many times have you've seen that in Week 10?
