Hat's Off to Matthew Stafford

[DaveThePanther2008]

I thought Matthew Stafford showed some real grit and toughness yesterday.  

He took a beating like I have never seen by a QB. 6 sacks and a couple knockdowns but he kept getting up and fighting back.  He was one reception away from completing an epic comeback.   As much as I love what our defense did most of the day he was tearing us apart going down the stretch.  He had more tape on him than I knew existed.  Bad ankle, busted leg and blood on his hand.

I am thrilled we won and terrified had he got one more chance.  Thanks Cam and KB.

It was a great win and well deserved but my Hat is off to Matthew Stafford for showing his toughness and competitiveness.  Very much admired.

No one can argue that Stafford stood tall.  I agree with your statement.

I like Stafford. We all talk about how our franchise is inconsistent... Cam has more wins in 2 fewer seasons. That organization squandered so many hall of fame careers.

So sad.   They had one of the greatest running backs ever to play the game but did nothing with him.   I think they made the playoffs once (one and done) with Barry Sanders.

Did anyone else hear the announcer say "Matt Stafford looks mummified".

You don't watch a lot of panthers games do you? At least all the shots we took at him were clean.

If it's not us winning it, I want it to be the Lions. Tough town with a tough team. Would be nearly 10 years since their 0-16 season.

Stafford has always been a great QB and tough dude, even in his college days.

Dude is clutch as hell. I knew they would make the game close when the 4th started. Stafford has that grit.

He's basically all the Lions have. Dude has Favre'esque grit

Golden Tate is good.
