Maybe Matthew Stafford wore gloves so as not to leave any fingerprints as he committed crimes against football humanity.If so, that idea backfired---as did the entire Detroit Lions offense---as Stafford and his offensive teammates (you can pronounce "offensive" with the emphasis on the second syllable if you'd like) laid an ostrich egg on the Soldier Field turf on Sunday.This was an homage to Lions teams of the past. And when I say past, I mean the first eight years of the 21st century.Watching the Lions' 37-13 dismantling at the hands of the Chicago Bears was like watching a twisted compilation reel of the Marty Mornhinweg and Rod Marinelli years.All of your old "favorites" were back: pick-sixes; fumbles; bad special teams coverage/strategy; inopportune personal fouls.They all came roaring back---no pun intended---in one game, and after a bye week, no less, when teams are supposed to be fresh and re-focused.Stafford was a mystery, yet again.The Lions'...

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he expects to wear gloves in two more games because of a fractured finger in his throwing hand.

Stafford: His gloves need to stay on

Via Lions Blog  |  November 15, 2011
Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said he would wear gloves again for Sunday's game against Carolina to help the grip on his injured right index finger because "it's not really strong enough or healthy enough to grip without them."

Bears dominate Stafford, Lions 37-13

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  November 13, 2011
CHICAGO -- Matthew Stafford trudged off Soldier Fields turf to the locker room holding a pair of gloves in one hand, a white bandage on his right index finger and four interceptions glowing on his box-score line. All of these items -- the gloves, the bandage, the interceptions -- were evidence and fodder for speculation from the 37-13 whipping the Chicago Bears gave the Lions Sunday...

Stafford Tryin To Brawl Like A Champ…

Via FloppingOut  |  November 14, 2011
When you have a bunch of real tough guys like the MEN on the Chicago Bears roster beating fake Detroit Lion tough guys like blonde headed step children (why does it have to be red?), FIGHTS WILL GO DOWN. So during the Bears 37-13 beat down of the Lions, there were about 10 different real fights with the best fight being when my man Matt Stafford tossed Bears cornerback DJ Moore to...

Lions and Bears fight

Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit  |  November 13, 2011
Matthew Stafford took out some frustration following his third interception Sunday by throwing Bears cornerback D.J. Moore to the turf. You'll see what happened next. This won't help the stigma the Lions have obtained over the last month. They're doing work to try to earn the "dirty" tag. Stafford finished the game with four picks. Calvin Johnson and...

Matthew Stafford, D.J. Moore at center of Bears-Lions fight (video)

Via Inside the Bears  |  November 13, 2011
Bears defensive back D.J. Moore was ejected in the fourth quarter Sunday on a play that precipitated a skirmish between several players in front of the Lions’ bench. Frustration surfaced when Tim Jennings came up with the Bears’ third interception of the game. During the return, replays showed that Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford grabbed Moore near the helmet and threw him...

The Fantasy Fool: Questions abound as the fantasy postseason looms

Via Post-Gazette  |  November 15, 2011
On a weekend when DeSean Jackson was benched for missing a team meeting and Matt Stafford threw more scoring passes to the Chicago defense than he did to his own receivers, I suppose we shouldn't be shocked that the best quarterback on the field in Philly on Sunday was named John Skelton.

Hey, that was MY record!

This made me laugh out loud. Mike Bobo said he heard from Matt Stafford after the Auburn game, complaining in jest about Georgia’s passing strategy. Aaron Murray passed for four touchdowns, along the way passing Matt Stafford on the single-season Georgia list, and tying Stafford on the career list. “Stafford, he texted me after the game,” Bobo said, laughing. &...

Lions Lose Grudge Match With The Bears

Via Detroit Sports 360  |  November 14, 2011
The Detroit Lions traveled to Chicago yesterday, where they took on the Bears in what ended up being an all out grudge match. They were also handed their 3rd loss in the last 4 games, final score, 37-13. One thing I can say, is there is never a dull moment when it comes to the Lions. Going from an 0-16 season to a 5-0 start to the season, then following up with 3 losses, well, consistency...

Are the Lions a "dirty" team? So what if they are?

Via The Wayne Fontes Experience  |  November 14, 2011
To answer my own question, I have to admit...yes, the Lionsdo cross the line dividing aggressive and dirty. Sometimes they leap over it. They did several times in the loss to the Bears. Do I care? No. Was Nick Fairley's hit on Jay Cutler a dirty play? Sure. Some of the loudest cries are coming out of Chicago. But if it were Matthew Stafford instead of Cutler being driven...

Lions blown apart by Bears

It started with fumbles by receivers Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson. Then it was quarterback Matthew Stafford's turn. He was picked off for touchdowns in each of the Lions' first two possessions of the second half.
