The Detroit Lions have experienced slow starts throughout the 2012 season.

Matthew Stafford believes the issue has simply been execution and not a flaw in aggressiveness.

"We were aggressive in the first couple quarters," Stafford said in an interview with 97.1-FM. "I missed a couple guys. I missed Tony Scheffler on the fingertips on a play early in the game, missed a pump seven to Titus (Young) that was off his fingertips, missed another pump seven to Calvin (Johnson). I mean, we were pushing the ball down the field, throwing it all over the place. It just got to a point in the second half where we just executed better."
