NFL 2020 Season

What's people's opinions about the Fitz benching?

Organisation wise I think it's an easy win. He learns the ropes, improves as a player (or doesn't and they can potentially replace) and then even if he struggles during game time they get two high draft picks instead of just the Texans one.

Player wise it could backfire horribly. Through no fault of his own other players may blame Tua for this and morale tanks especially when they are playing well as the players seem to be behind Fitz. Players do want a win and they have an outside chance at playoffs, taking that away from them (if he plays bad) is not going to go down well.

Final point, behind a bad line giving him his full debut against the Rams? That could end in tears!

I would have kept Fitz and see where he would have taken the dolphins as they are on a roll
 
Personally, not much. I don't feel they're a dominant team right now. Obviously, they're a really very good team, but it's not like the Pats or Chiefs of recent times. Do they scare opposition like those teams did?

probably not as the cowboys nearly gave them a lose

As a longtime steelers fan, not much, the reason we generally aren't convincingly beating teams as one phase of play always lets the side down. We've only had two games where we have dominated in all 3 phases, the browns earlier this season and the bengals this week. That being said historically we have been better in the second half of the season.

Superbowl or bust, couldn't care less about being undefeated.

do you believe in this take?

it would be better to get a loss to reduce pressure in the playoffs


I want to see them go undefeated in the regular season
 
I don't follow NFL that closely, but Stafford numbers is pretty good for such a rubbish team as the Lions. I loosely support the Detroit teams in the other sports than the Red Wings (as I'm a massive hockey fan). I read somewhere that the Lions are the team that give up most points defensively per game, which doesn't make it easier for Stafford to win them games, even though he has the most 4th quarter come backs in the league (if my memory isn't playing up again).
Several Lions fans believes Stafford would have won the Super Bowl if he played on another team.

people call him a stat padder aka Stat Padford, it would be intresting to see him in a different team
