Stafford finally getting credited after a decade of suffering with the lions
Ok we get it. Detroit is a trash franchise. Every comment gotta remind us of it 😂
@@kingjuan8891 😭😭
I mean Stephen A just tried to put 27-3 on him when Stafford's team fumbled 4 times all on vital times. Also the missed FG that Stafford setup. None of that is in him. Other people are giving credit tho
He has a talented team who already went to the super bowl
he got lucky. That bucks offensive line was horrendous.
Everybody needs a wingman like Dan. He capes TF out of Stafford
why shouldnt he????? HE BELIEVED IN HIM SINCE HE WAS IN DETRIOT. lol. I WOULD TOO
Have to when you have the media that constantly push a narrative.
As a lions fan I’ve been for the last DECADE
@@emekaamerican863 underrated comment
@@emekaamerican863 this comment is elite.
Dan has every right to talk his sh*t right now, He’s told everyone Stafford is the man, and everyone dogged on him for a month now.. So far Dan has been right. As a Rams fan, I can’t be anymore thankful for Stafford, dude is clutch more times than not with an amazing arm.
I'ma Ram to I love wat Matt dun did but he still have more to prove he gotta prove he can win us a ring
No Sean Mcvay is the man, 49ers Finn’s expose Matthew for the 3rd time in Lev- I mean So-fi stadium
He has to win it all Danm he get his 1st playoff win he The next Brady 🤣🤣🤣
@@anthonyburnett6183 2nd play off win.. but it's how he did it. It's what he's been able to do within just a year. A forgotten under the radar stud in Detroit, to a clutch play off winner with the Rams. Dude outdid Brady and stopped that Brady magic. And came in clutch.
@@anthonyburnett6183 he’s won 2 in his first year being a LA Ram he’s proven he can win in the playoffs
Everybody needs a friend that will have their back the way Dan Orlovsky has Matt Stafford’s back.

I honestly love Dan sticking up for Stafford. Stafford proved everyone wrong yesterday.
I think everyone needs a friend like him
Only thing he proved is that he is another mentally weak link on an all-time mentally weak team
The Rams were in the super bowl with Goff
Niners proved that he isn’t worthy of the playoffs by picking him off and getting into the Wild Card by coming back to beat the Rams. He’s gonna go home after this weekend, luckily, he now lives in L.A😂
did you watch the 2nd half? he blew a 27-3 lead
I love when Stephen A. gets called out 😭
Stephen A is a buffoon
@michal villafana cry
find you a partner who loves you like Orlovsky loves Matt Stafford. Honestly tho, as a Detroiter, I can say what all Detroiters already knew: Stafford is a star, and he really blossomed as a decision maker and executor on the field after Megatron's retirement, once he no longer had Megatron as a safety blanket to lean on. learned how to run a balanced attack, placed greater importance on WRs being able to do their jobs well and run good routes (Golden Tate, Cooper Kupp), as opposed to just throwing up a prayer and having CJ81 bail you out with his godly leaping ability. Stafford was just unlucky to play with zero run game (except for those brief blips provided by Jahvid best and reggis bush/joique bell) and a defense that hardly ever played complementary football. when stafford came on with 40 seconds and 1 timeout, the whole of Michigan knew he had too much time on his hands. sad that the pick the Rams owe the Lions has lost a little bit of value, but absolutely stoked and happy for Stafford. way overdue that the man gets his shine.
From Detroit. All facts spoken
Exactly
Matthew Stafford couldn't be just some scrub if the Rams didn't trade 2 first rounders to your Lions. You guys might fill a lot of holes over the next 2 years and build something over there. If I was your GM, I'd wait till 2023 to draft a QB because that's going to be a strong class.
@@jlh4jc i agree! lots of uncertainty with the QBs in this class. no winners a la joe burrow, and no spectacular talents rated as high as trevor lawrence/justin herbert. plus, goff, despite battling through injuries, was top 5 in the league in QBR over the last quarter of the season. that too, with the tsunami of injuries the team was hindered by. the offense showed enough progress over the last 6 games of the season that they've earned the right to run it back with Goff for another year, hopefully with more guys fully healthy. maybe draft a developmental QB somewhere in round 3? malik willis intrigues me if he falls to round 2, but honestly we need to upgrade the surrounding talent on both sides of the field so i'd much rather that we target DE, LB, WR, and S with our top 4 picks, preferably after we've made a couple of big signings in free agency.
@@shashanksubramaniam1400 Jets fan here. Not to overhyped but ya'll can be good after you grab some FA's and draft. Penei Sewell is a All-Pro type of tackle.
How is up 27-3 on Stafford? 4 fumbles that weren't on him. Then the missed field goal that isn't on him. If anyone talked about Stafford not getting it done if they didn't win. His team almost choked it, not Stafford
Agreed. Stafford absolutely bailed them out at the end.
that hike over his head. bad passes. He was blowing that game just as much.
@@brettt141 So now he plays center? And Brady had more bad throws on pne drive than Stafford has had in 2 weeks but nobody is blaming him. Just give credit where its due
@@brettt141 28/38 366yrs 2TD/0INTS.
Bad passes? Not even a Rams fan but you're delusional. Rams stacked D let Tom back into the game. If the Rams lost it wouldn't have been on Stafford. Dude threw a dime to Cupp to clinch the game on the road.
This you trolling Steven A? Tf lmao
@@brettt141 stafford has 3 incompletions in the 4th quarter, one of which was a drop by Higbee. The hike also wasn’t over his head, it was to his side because the center messed up the snap count, which is dictated by the quarterback. Please stop talking about football if you don’t know the first thing about it.
Stephen A.’s face expressions looking at this man standing up carries a thousand memes
HE WAS CEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE AS DAN WAS ACTING LIKE A WEIRDO.
@@janecoe9407 shut up lol
Dan has been cooking Stephen A. for days straight and it's hilarious
@Crombie The fact that you don't see that, shows you either don't know sports or you're a simp for Screamin A. Smith. Either way it's embarrassing.
How'd he cook him here???
@@jsilva7005 I know football and he made some valid points and also he didn't
@Crombie well as of today that take hasn’t been wrong, Arod, Brady, and Allen (not his fault) all got bounced. Him and mahomes are neck and neck but what’s wrong with Dan betting in his man
@@jsilva7005 Screamin A lmaooo
As a packers fan, I’m rooting for Matthew Stafford to win it all. This dude is so good and just displayed that on Sunday ✊🏽
The look on Stephen A's face when Dan said everyone needs a wingman is priceless 🤣
😂 right....he also acts like he never sounds like this when talks about A. ROGERS lol
@@josh_e7446 SAS always on A rod like A rod not 7-9 in the postszn
Since the SB
Gave him memories of max
When the Chiefs only had 13 seconds left, all that was going through my mind was “Man I wish we had Matt Stafford”
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂
Lol me too bro, me too
Agreed. To be honest though, I would be happiest with either of them in that situation.
"The greatest game never seen" is what made me believe Stafford was a HOF. That was so long when he beat the Browns after dislocating his shoulder.
I saw it, live
I mean it was dubbed that title. Forgot to mention lol
Longtime Stafford fan. This game was THEE game for me also.
A beautiful game really
Stafford wasn’t at fault for them blowing that lead. McVay was obsessed with running the football when the Bucs couldn’t do anything about the air game
Yeap, and he also didn't fumble the ball 4 times
his play calling be suspect at times
McVay wanted to take pressure off of Stafford by running the rock. The last 5 games Matt has been making mistakes and turning over the ball.
I think he was doing the opposite of what the Falcons did when they blew the lead in the Super Bowl..
@@flavho it was very unreal to see Cooooop fumble and Akers to fumble twice , i couldn’t believe my eyes
They really are avoiding talking about Aaron Rodger 😂😂😂😂
They want Stephen A to have the last 30 minutes to talk about him lol
They talked about him
They already talked about him
0-4 Aaron
Dan really out here with props, being all loud, and hanging on the rim for every single take discussed....looking like this year's valedictorian of the S.A.S school of sports entertainment.
He beat Stephen A at his own game smh
Matthew Stafford is the only QB from Georgia that didn't choke to Tom Brady.
@Crombie 🤣choke with 2td ur delusional af
@Crombie what, how can someone possibly choke if they make the 40 yard deep throw that sets up the game winning TD, all while having no turnovers. He clearly didn’t choke. Choking would’ve been had he fumbled the ball on that first snap on the final drive and let the Bucs recover. That’s choking. He literally did the opposite, he was clutch, people just don’t wanna give the man his flowers and I don’t get why.
@Crombie who threw the ball to get the kick ? Hush
@Crombie Stafford plays defense? Stafford is the one who snaps the ball over people's heads? Stafford doesn't hold onto the ball during a HB dive?
Who was the one who led the offense down the field with less than a minute left?
Please refrain from commenting on football, because you clearly don't understand the sport.
@Crombie exactly yu sound delusional do yu know football? The comeback wasn’t his fault he doesn’t play defense he’s the reason we even here , got us a big 27-3 league then made the 2 big throws to kupp Dnt hate the playa
Bruh the Rams nearly choked the game away fumbling like 4 times, I ain't gonna lie I was nervous for their sake lol. But Stafford didn't even flinch on their final drive which goes to show you he's clutch
I can't tell you how awesome it is to see this segment. I've been justifying Stafford all year hahah the only thing that worries me... 49ers. They JUST match up well with us. I honestly feel Shanahan builds his team TO match up against us. I don't think he's worried about the Seahawks or Arziona as much. I give the niners credit, where credit is due. Should be a dog fight. I also love that the 9ers got in and showed the NFC who's divison this really is. We all knew the nfc west would be rep 2 or 3 teams lol now you all know what the rams face all year. Rams loses are justified
Cupp was wide open and Stafford thew it to him. That was the game winner right there
Ironically, Kupp was supposed to be a decoy on that play but Stafford read the defense and realized he was gonna be 1-on-1.
Stephen A really ducking from the Aaron Rodgers topic. LMFAO
Go off Dan 😂
Dan's jacket 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YOU THE MAN DAN. EVERY STAFF FAN LOVES YOU. YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH MY GUY. SALUTE!
Does Stephen A Smith really wanna act like that comeback was Stafford's fault? NO! Stafford isn't why that game got close, there were four fumbles by LA! Akers also only had like 50 rushing yards!
Dan was definitely talking about rob Parker lol
With any QB, there’s ALWAYS an adjustment period when going to a completely new team and system, especially one as complicated as McVay’s.
Dan knew how good Matthew is, so he wasn’t worried that he’d end up putting. It together. The results in the playoffs speak for themself.
Yes but that doesn't mean bow down to him ? Once a good qb gets a great team around him no duh he becomes a great qb but give those pieces around him credit as well cause this ain't a one player game ?
@@jaypeee97 hey, they weren’t getting it done with Goff, this only proves they were a quaterback away from a suberbowl
@@jaypeee97 it becomes a one player convo if that player was the missing piece
@@brobiewankenobi9492 lol you do realize goff still has more playoff wins and super bowl appearances than stafford... they literally got to a super bowl with goff so literally nothing has been proved tbh
@@ronanbellis4775 You can't deny that Stafford is a better QB though. Goff is good in his own right, but Stafford is definitely an upgrade. Stafford has only been out of the playoffs so often because he played for the Lions, which is now Goff's privilege. I'd be surprised if Goff wins another playoff game considering the miserable state of the team he plays for...
Orlovsky calls out Stephen A, but ignores the sudden Amnesia that Ryan Clark had on Get Up when he said that Rodgers never had any memorable moments in the playoffs. As if Clark is not able to remember how Rodgers completed that 3rd and ten to Jennings on the Super Bowl to help kill the game against his Steelers while he was playing Safety.
Bro that was over a decade ago
@@oscaralvarez247 he was in the game.
If he forgot about it it's because he forced himself to... out of shame LOL
@@oscaralvarez247 Ryan brought up plays from 10 years ago
@@oscaralvarez247 That's what makes it memorable. People still remember that throw. The same way people still remember the tuck rule incomplete pass or Eli's pass to Burress, and all of those were over 10 years ago. Seriously, that is your argument?
@@JeebyTube Thank you, well said. Like always, all these Rodgers haters like @Oscar Alvarez talking about "oh it has been over a decade since he won Super Bowl." Like those don't count.
Dan got it right. What a great performance by Matthew Stafford.
😂 “he’s sus” that got me gooooood
He’s always been great. Matthew Stafford was always that guy, he was just playing in Detroit.
TBH, every time Stephen A. passionately speaks as if he was once a pro athlete, I wish he would be forced to return a punt in the NFL once a week for the season..
Lmaoooo
I was with Dan until he said he’d take Stafford over anyone else in the playoffs with the ball in the hands.
Yea I was like wait what??? Lmao
I mean the dude threw his team down the field in 30 seconds he has the most 4th quarter and GW drives since he’s entered the league
On a final drive, yes give me stafford. The best final GW drive qb there is.
@@donnycash I get it. But Mahomes all day
Probably everyone but mahomes, burrow is close but I’d take Stafford
“The GOAT did his job the defense didn’t” the defense forced 4 clutch turnovers! Brady was 30-54 1 TD 1 Fumble 1 pick… They folded, but they literally played it as well as the could
Yes another idiotic comment from smith. Def saved Brady’s bad int right before half and gave him short fields with other 3 turnovers. Kupp’s and Akers fumbles gave them the ball at rams 30.
Nah the defense definitely sold him out on that last play
the point is bucs wouldn’t have had the chance to make it a game without the defensive getting ball and giving short fields to brady. And that was an all out blitz on final play. Stafford made an incredible throw and kupp beat coverage like he has done all year.
Love how after 4 turnovers giving the offense the ball inside the 40 they still gonna give Brady all the credit
Thank you Dan! You know the Detroit fans always believed in Stafford and we are SO Happy he is getting his shot. When will the media FINALLY give Stafford his due!!
Stafford been a BEAST in my mind...
0:30 SAS pulling the iconic meme face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u know exactly what meme I’m talking about too 🤣
I love Dan bro! He so authentic unlike others!
Y’all are not giving us the content, we wanna hear what Stephen A has to say about Green Bay
Great game from Stafford. From a detroit lions fan that was a hater for never getting it done here.... he played awesome.
I'm a die heart Detroit Lions fan, and I was and still am a Stafford fan, I pulling for the Rams this post season because of Stafford.
ESPN can't even afford a chair for Dan? 😂
Matthew Stanford has the makings of an elite qb tbh. His rookie season he had the most completions and I believe on his second year he had 45 td passes in a season. And had less turn overs. Those are good qualities to take in the post season. I think rams offense just showcased how good Stanford was.
He’s top 5 in the league right now I would say.
They put a team together to win now....
@@joebidenisretarded6263 I agree I would definitely put him in my top 5.
Yes dan! 100% correct on Stafford like always.
Does Stephen A. not watch football!? Those turnovers were NOT on Matthew Stafford. Cam Akers lost those two fumbles.
love the way these two dudes go after each other but still have smiles at the end of the debate
Stafford was brilliant especially at the end of the game!
☆☆☆☆☆
😎
As a rams fan I can’t believe I ever defended Goff, I’m so glad they made the trade
Try defending Tony Romo for 14 years 😐
Aye Im a Rams fan too and I feel you on the Goff thing..Im like if you my team I'ma ride wit you til the end and that's what I did until the end lol
I think he needs to win the Super Bowl to prove the trade was right.
And now Stafford has a Super Bowl ring!
They're all walking contradictions wrapped in a blanket of hypocrisy, its ESPN
Stafford is now getting the credit he deserves
“Stat Pad-ford” gotta be one of the most hilarious nicknames of all time
🤣🤣irvin went in at the end
The Bucs comeback wasn't on him that was on the defense, Matt was clutch.
Yea the bucs came back. But it wasn’t on stafford. The rams fumbled 4 times. None of those were on him. The fg kicker also missed a kick short. Like cmon man.
My fav QB Matthew Stafford under pressure while being blitzed has the highest passing rating in the NFL 🔥 it was a good game would’ve been a blowout if not for the 4 fumbles. I hope he get that Super Bowl ring he definitely deserves it 💪🏽
If Stafford was drafted to oh let’s say the PATS or CHARGERS or COLTS or CHICAGO he would have rings. Competent teams
He definitely not getting a ring with the chargers or bears
@@sugareecereviews disagree. Bears and Chargers never had a qb as good as him.
@@xcwilliams7980 chargers had brees and rivers and now Herbert what are you on
Probably not with the chargers or chicago.
Chargers have never been competent lmao
Anybody that actually watched Lion games knew that Stafford was never the issue.
SAS needs to take the L on the chin and can't even so that. 😂
Stafford dropped a DIME to Kupp. I never saw a better pass in my life.
You must start watching football this weekend lol. Patrick Mahomes had better passes
@@tdot2853 I guess I'm a little bias because I wanted Stafford to do good to shut all his doubters up. So I could be over exaggerating a little bit. Lol
If that’s the best past u ever seen something is wrong with ur brain
@@outgjkkgf1685 how come I can't have my own opinion?
@@bulichew9971 this dude is on everyones comments shittin on stafford so dont worry" just emotional stafford beat the goat and outplayed him
That comeback had nothing to do with Stafford SAS it had to do with them having FOUR fumbles in a 27 min period. “The GOAT did his job” ummmmm Brady didn’t play very well at all aside from 50 yard TD to Evan’s.
72 QB rating is bad, 55.6% bad, 2 turnovers bad. Had they won the game it would of been bc 4 fumbles Stafford and Brady had nothing to do with + a missed 47 yard kick by their pro bowl kicker who had been 28/29 on kicks under 50 yards coming into the game!
Stephen A Hogan: I’m the only one who wears jackets.
"your objective and wonderful with everything else you do but your emotional about Mathew Stafford" lol
Dan so used to losing he don't know how to act right now lol
Mathew Stafford played 0 part in the Bucs coming back! He’s team had 4 fumbles and none of them were on Stafford! Stephen A been talking nonsense lately
Bruh for real. Cam Akers fumbles twice, Cooper Kupp fumbles and then the Center snaps the ball when Stafford isn't looking. Of course they don't score more points because that's 4 drives that ended.
Anyone that thinks Stafford is bad doesn't know football.
He signed with the Houston Texans for a 3-year, $9 million deal on March 1, 2009. He was beaten out by Rex Grossman for the backup quarterback position during the preseason, and served as the Texans number three quarterback. After the 2009 season, Grossman signed a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins, making Orlovsky the backup quarterback for the Texans.
I've been a huge lion fan since I was 6. And i was so happy we traded Stafford, because he deserved better than the lions, and now you get to see what I knew he could be!
If the rams lost that game it would NOT have been stafford’s fault. Three fumbles, a missed field goal, and a bad snap. Not on him
I’m a Cowboys fan and would love to see Matthew Stanford and the Rams take it all.
Cooking SAS. It’s glorious. Just absolutely GLORIOUS.
1st is Was Carson Wentz .. now It’s Matt Stanford like C’mon Dan 😂😂😂
Hey Stephen A how that Vax work for ya 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Find a guy who loves you as much as Dan loves Matt and Wentz
To some of the folks out there, Dan Orlovsky is wearing a "jacket" as a wingman to Matthew Stafford and you can see clearly from this segment that this guy has been defending Matthew Stafford against the naysayers for a LONG time. His bomber jacket is a tribute to the movie, Top Gun, when pilots need great wingmen to survive battles. I'm guessing Matthew Stafford is Maverick and Dan Orlovsky is Goose. And after seeing Dan Goose getting so pumped up to see his pilot prove him right, I'm more excited to see how Matthew Stafford in the NFC Championship!
Speaking of rough patches Stephen A... 2:48 😂🤣😂
Playmaker fires me up just about every time he talks!
Great takes on this
I want IGUODALA!! 😂
explain how SAS attacks Bills Defense/DC calling for the man JOB to get him fired but you let the best WR in football blow past everyone and somehow the Bucs DC doesn't get attacked lmaooo
When he said everybody needs a wingman Stephen a thought about max for a minute
I’m a part of your community Dan! I be arguing for him all the time
Dan I need that JACKET 🔥
Stafford was the steadiest player for us over AD, Kupp and Ramsey…Stephen A is literally just trying to argue lol
I feel like Dan makes people Stafford haters because he’s such a fan boy… Stephen A. was actually reasonable for once. He said that Stafford struggled in the middle of the season (he led the NFL in INTs let’s not act like he didn’t), but he turned it around & had overall a good season. That sounds like the WAY more reasonable take here. He also said Stafford almost blew a lead in the 2nd half, but showed up when it counted (also very logical & true.) Dan is a fan boy, Stephen A. was actually being logical for once.
With any QB, there’s ALWAYS an adjustment periods when going to a completely new team and system, especially one as complicated as McVay’s.
Dan knew how good Matthew is, so he wasn’t worried that he’d end up putting. It together. The results in the playoffs speak for themself.
Stafford didnt blow the lead, cam akers almost choked away the game by himself lol. He didnt have a int or a fumble hos team got nervous n made mistakes
Dan just has to constantly defend Stafford from all the naysayers.. people are just upset Stafford is proving them all wrong.
But Stafford didn’t blow a lead, so that’s not logical or true
How are his interceptions during middle of the regular season relevant when he’s playing the best football of his life when it matters. First year on a new team, I’d say he’s adjusting rather well.
Dan acting like 1 game has changed Stafford results the last 11 to 12 years 🤣
🤣😂
2 games have
Stafford hasn't been the reason for the Lions' failure, just like Goff isn't now and Orlovsky & Kitna weren't before Stafford. They're just bad. He's been great his whole career!
The “scramble to the back of the end zone” boy has something to say🤣🤣🤣
How is Stephen going to bring up how they lost the 27 - 3 lead but only mention the bad snap and not the fumbles by Cooper Kupp and Cam Akers?
These facial expressions from Dan and Stephen a. are priceless 😂😂
We all need a friend like Dan.
I watched Matt on and off with the Lions over the years and I KNEW he had the right stuff. I hope he wins a Super Bowl this year. I cannot believe the folks who say he wasn't a good quarterback, a good man.
When you have to debate on first take at 8 but also have to take down kamikaze pilots at 12.
Michael Irvin relax...... I just watched the longest yard Sunday. 😭😭😭😭😭
"He's sus" 🤣
It’s bitter sweet seeing Stafford win with another team, but you can’t be nothing but happy for him. He’s done a lot in Detroit. What he did at the end of the game he did the same thing here multiple times. Also he’s responsible for 2 Receivers having the most receiving yards in a single season. He finally has a good team behind him as said.
Matthew Stafford has always been good , he just always turns the ball over when it mattered . He reminds me a lot of Tony Romo . Let's see if he can actually win a ring 👌💯
If it wasn't for them four fumbles it wouldn't have even been a close game. Matthew Stafford was flawless right from kickoff they played an almost perfect first half but it was those turnovers that weren't his fault is what made it a game in the second half against the greatest QB of all time in his house , so yea Matthew Stafford just kindly shut some people up with his play this year not that he even cares about that but he is clutch and he can launch the ball way down field off his back foot if he wants and his side arm throws is why it's always fun to watch him play especially now with him being on the best team he's ever been on before.
Non football people/average fans (what Stephen A is) don't really understand how much of a team sport football is. Bradys a great player, possibly the greatest qb ever, but he couldn't have done what he did with the lions. Not even one Superbowl would he have. Would people still consider Tom Brady a great...? Who knows
Stafford 3-3 in the playoffs now. Threw a pick and still found a way to beat the #3 defense in the league. SB is gonna be grea6, as I'm not sure Cincy has a lock down defense like that. The offense should be able to open up more. Could be a real high scoring game!!!
And those 3 losses were with a team that has 1 playoff win in nearly 60 years.
