The lions were the better team earlier in the season but have really cooled off. I am not that worried about beating them but the D line of the lions should be a worry of every packer fan.
The lions team I saw today made a ton of mistakes and looked mediocre on offense. Stafford seems to have regress from a few seasons ago.
I think our defense could win us the game honestly.
And that has been the frustration of Lions fans all season. The defense has given the offense a chance in pretty much every single game, aside from the Pats game. The offense has simply not performed. I would say a big part of that is play calling. Any play that requires Stafford to hold the ball for more than 3 seconds with that o-line needs to be removed from the playbook. Problem is, Lombardi seems to have a fetish for slow developing plays.
On the other side of that, is the players themselves. There are still a lot of dropped passes, and while Stafford's mechanics, mobility and footwork have improved, his throws are still not as accurate as you'd like to see.
I never thought I would see the day that I would miss Scott Linehan. Last year's offense, with all of their problems, were at least scoring points. That same offense with this year's defense would be something.
Maybe someday the Lions will get everything going at the same time.....
