Packers vs Lions Game Thread: Happy Thanksgiving Edition

[GreenBaySlacker]

If you only watched our two games against Detroit you’d think we’re the best team in the league

We are the best team in the league. Just don't know it yet...

Thats exactly it. I would argue watson was touched past 5 yards on 3rd down, before wicks sweet 4th down conversion to seal the game...

It seems like to me that contact is ok if the receiver runs into the db, into his space. Which I kind of thought happened to Nixon.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Which they are one of the best.

Oh come on tynimiller. That's the perfect opportunity to homer out.

You think Lombardi would've said GB is only one of the best?
What the hells going on out there?!

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Bears are dangerous AND healthier than we are.

I haven't watched them all season.

Seems to me we haven't lost that many players for the year. Half our roster might be on the injury report currently. Yikes. But I'm guessing the majority of those guys are timed to be back to near 100% by playoff time....

And, we need to crush them... Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to do that without Wyatt. That really saddens me.

That was literally the words that were going through my mind.... We're going to crush them...lol then you said it.

Weems +1

No. They are not. The season enders add up. Hobbs, Ness still out. As you play better teams it becomes more difficult. Now our 2010 was an anomaly. 1/3 of the roster visited the hospital and we worked miracles.

I find myself thinking about that often. That was the one year where "Next man up" worked, and worked well.

I think the unemployment rate was high that year and TT ran a Help Wanted Ad.

Continue to say, Love is not who people think he is or hope he was going to be. First drive, 3 very bad passes, he had a TD and threw the ball below the receivers needs while he is running, next he threw in the ground - for $55M GB is getting less than half that in return, the guy is average, nothing more. 2nd drive, worse than the first- this is the GB offense the past 4 games. 17.5ppg avg is horrible for a supposed top level team. Thanks for a D that actually plays at a high level.

You never came back to give props only to bash?

barring serious injuries...I think the ice has broken-the team is as good as they will be

As Picard (ST) said "engage!"
