The fact is, it was reported that the Lions made an offer to the Patriots for Matt Cassel.
Pioli outbid them.
If Pioli, who should have had a better idea of what Matt Cassel really was, stayed away from that trade, and the Lions got Cassel, it's entirely possible that the Chiefs could have traded up to the Lions spot in that draft for Stafford.
So, at the end of the day, there is no excuse.
