1. You can often slice and dice stats until you get the subset of data that supports whatever hypothesis you want.

2. CJ went through a rough period in the middle of the season after taking some bad/dirty hits in the first Vikings game and was working with a bum knee and could barely grip the ball. He had a quote after the Seattle game that he couldn’t extend his arms and put a ball into the endzone on a pass because he couldn’t feel the ball at all. That first Minny game was where he started dropping passes he would normally catch.

3. Lions probably spread out to more targets than the Bears – Pettigrew, Scheffler, Burleson, Young, Broyles, Bell, etc have been frequently targeted because of all the double/triple coverage the CJ receives. Burleson (before his injury), Pettigrew, and Scheffler, in particular.

funny how you use quarterback attempts but you don’t use passes attempted to specific wide- receiver and for that fact u don’t see any other receiver on that list that’s triple teamed and double teamed more than Calvin Johnson so I’m not buying this list for one second maybe your using the skip bayless approach by saying something crazy knowing that you don’t even believe you I mean this Johnson gets punt coverage on him in the redzone what other receiver have you seen get that
