ill-feelings.\u00a0 Patricia recently rejoined Bill Belichick in New England after having been fired by the Lions earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit reached an agreement Saturday night to send Stafford to the Rams in exchange for draft picks and Los Angeles quarterback, Jared Goff.\u00a0 It was a surprising move and gives both players a fresh start in their respective cities.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who might be disappointed that Stafford won&#8217;t be playing for the Patriots, don&#8217;t be too sad.\u00a0 Lions fans can tell you first hand about quite a few last-second frustrating losses and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2021\/01\/26\/should-the-patriots-sign-matt-stafford-thats-a-tough-one\/\"><strong>untimely second-half turnovers<\/strong><\/a>, which has become an all-too-frequent occurrence for a player who simply hasn&#8217;t lived up to his potential.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Rams, they appear pretty excited, with the trade putting them <a

third-best odds<\/strong><\/a> behind just the Chiefs and Buccaneers to win the Super Bowl next season.<\/p>\n<p>But for that to happen, that begs the question whether or not Stafford can step up in big moments.\u00a0 History certainly hasn&#8217;t shown that to be the case and given Stafford&#8217;s previous postseason showings (0-3 in the playoffs), they&#8217;re putting a lot of faith in a player who has never been able to make a significant playoff run, let alone win it all.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe a change of scenery will do the trick.\u00a0 Or maybe Rams fans will simply get a first-hand look at what Lions fans have had to watch during Stafford&#8217;s frustrating NFL career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For any Patriots fans who were hoping Matt Stafford would have
