Official Game Day Thread: Lions @ Packers - 10/3: WIN 28 - 26

so time for the thread?

34-3. yeah that bad. They have been getting chewed out all week, so I expect domination.

Dude, that was totally going to be my score.. ok fine..

35 - 3

Without their starting RB or QB, i could see it

LB Brandon Chillar (shoulder) did not practice.

LT Chad Clifton (knees), S Nick Collins (knee), S Charlie Peprah (quad) and CB Charles Woodson (toe) were limited.

LB Brad Jones (knee) and DE Mike Neal (ribs) practiced fully.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Neal would have to go through a full practice on Thursday and recover well on Friday to be full go.

Clifton is ahead of where he was a week ago, so McCarthy said that's a positive.

Even though Jones appeared to take most of the first-team reps in jogthroughs, McCarthy said Frank Zombo is the starter at ROLB right now. "It is something we have talked about here since I have arrived. You have to be available and you need to be accountable, and Brad is going through an injury situation right now. I’m not sure if he is healthy enough to play Sunday, so we’re going to play the prepared players. We’re going to play the experienced players. I felt as a staff, particularly the last two weeks, that we have been way too up-and-down during the course of the week of trying to prepare players based on their health situation, and waiting on a certain number of individuals to get healthy by the end of the week. So it is something that I actually addressed in the team meeting today, and I don’t know if that is why you are asking the question, but it was addressed today, the ability to prepare and play the prepared player over going back and forth all week. Frank Zombo is the starting outside linebacker today."

McCarthy is hopeful RB Dimitri Nance, who was inactive on Monday night, can help the Packers this week. "I’m really going to give him an opportunity to maybe even get up on special teams. I think he’s done some things in his time already, just on the coverage unit and things like that. You just really look at the combination of potentially having three halfbacks as opposed to three fullbacks too is definitely a consideration. He’s fighting for some playing time."

McCarthy said he is satisfied with the system he has setup for possible replay challenges. He said none of the coaches in the booth had a replay of the Jones fumble, so McCarthy went with what he saw in front of him.

A league spokesman said the NFL is still reviewing the Collins-fan incident and would likely rule on it Friday. McCarthy said he addressed it with the team. "Just reinforced that we need to be smart in those types of situations," he said.

Well I'll be there taking my wife to her first game finally. I'm hoping to see a massacre but at least a bit of a game made out of it from Detroit.

I hope Neal recovers and is able to play.... I really want to see him in action! He's needed depth on that d-line.

i know bears game was bad but if they play without a lot of penalties,they will beat the lions know they have a good d-line but seemed they gave up on vikes,when they stared the run game maybe brandon jackson day here go pack.

I have Packers 31 Lions 7

Awesome! I bet she's thrilled! I chose my first trek to Lambeau (wait, I'm getting a little choked up at thought of actually doing this ).. to be the game vs the Cowboys.. coming all the way from San Antonio to see my Packers kick some Cowboy butt.

Should be an easy win for the Packers. Packers should be angry. Javid Best is hurting. Shaun Hill is starting. Arod should be lighting up the weak secondary.

3-1 by Sunday afternoon... GO PACK!

I'm nervous they're going to blow it with penalties. Again.

Packers win 31 -10. I expecting a lot of action from the Pack in this game =]

45-10 packers, statement game 2 defensive touchdowns. Pack at home I feel it.

I want us to SHUT THEM OUT!
31-0 or something

we better pull this one off, oh man packer fans heads would explode if we somehow managed to lose this.

I expect the lions to be able to score....just not as much as us.

38-14 Pack

Oh and 10 sacks from CM3 to make up for last week B)

ROFL the weather guy for the NFL that brings projected game forecasts said the Bears are this years team that gets by with smoke and mirrors cause the Lions, Cowboys, and Packers had Da Bears beat.
