Inside The Lions Den

by Ronlove | 7 years ago | 0 Comments

After a long 12 weeks of rehab after his injury early in the season, Matt Stafford is back! “Bryce did an admiral job filling in for Stafford.” Said coach RonLove, referring to backup QB Bryce Petty, “It was a struggle for us being without Matt at first, but in the long run, I think we got better. It really helped us to re-evaluate our offense and become more balanced with our running game. Plus now we have a proven back up should something happen to Matt again.” For the 11 games that Stafford was hurt, the Lions are 6-5. If you recall, just before the injury, the Lions had fired their OC and were on a 2 game winning streak.

Because the team continued to stay in the playoff hunt with Stafford out, it begs the question, “is there a quarterback controversy?” Says Bryce, “No way! There’s no controversy here. Matt is the man. I was just happy not to eff it up for him. In the end we’re a team. I just played my role.” The lions are on the verge of making the playoffs. They control their own destiny and with a win in the final regular game, they’re in. This is a tight knit group and needless to say, the locker room is happy to have their captain back to lead them. Lions’ fans are hopeful that this not the last game of the season.
