08:02 AM ET 09.18 | So much for home-state allegiances. Joe Staley might have played at Central Michigan and Rockford High. That doesn't mean the San Francisco offensive tackle had nice things to say about his home-state Lions following the 49ers' 27-19 win Sunday night. In fact, when asked about the Lions' starting defensive front -- Cliff Avril, Ndamukong Suh, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams -- Staley called them "extremely" overrated. "They didn't want any part of us up front," Staley said, according to Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. "Look at the game. We killed them. Every single pressure they got was cheap. It was on a keep or something like that. They weren't beating us one on one."

This was pretty obvious to anyone who watched the game. Not much roar out of the Lions on Sunday.

That is supposed to be one of the dominant defensive lines in football, and they didn't do anything Sunday night. I don't think anyone wants a piece of San Francisco right now.

There is a good reason the Lions score so many points when they win games: They have to. The Lions ranked 23rd last year for points allowed. The Lions walk loudly and carry a small stick.

The problem is they are slow to get out of their recliners and can't pursue as well as they did last year.
