Will Matthew Stafford fold under pressure?
If you were disappointed with Jimmy Garoppolo’s performance in game one against the Viking’s elite defense, well, Lions fans were disgusted with Matt Stafford’s effort against the somewhat-less-impressive New York Jets. At Pride of Detroit, Jeremy Reisman wrote that:
“There is no excuse for the game Matthew Stafford had. I don’t care if the Jets recognized his hand signals.... You can’t make the kind of mistakes Stafford did all game. Stafford made some extremely poor reads, and looked completely flustered when pressured. I haven’t seen him play that badly in a long, long time.”
