Week 17 vs. Lions

[Arthur Squires]

Who are the players to watch out for, Zenner and Tate?

Zenner, Washington, Anquan and Ebron.

 

[Arthur Squires]

I saw that earlier. I know it's only two players, but having those two back really improves the defense as a whole by leaps and bounds.

Slay makes their defense much better. Swanson is important to their line. This will be a HUGE game for our Dline.

 

[Arthur Squires]

If you watch the week 3 matchup vs the lions Kenny Clark was getting pushed 4-5yds off the ball way too often. Guion didn't play that game so Clark won't have to play so much. After watching Lowry had a good game also. He shed blocks to stop ball carrier at line twice. My prediction Guion and Lowry have big games for our Oline. Another player we really need is Gunter. He has played much better than our 1st or 2nd round pick CBs

Packers win 24-14.

I highly doubt both teams will combine to score only 38 points.

I never heard of the practice squad; injured list. Can other teams sign players off this list ?

There's no reason for another team to sign an injured player.

I read he was put on IR.....I don't think there is a "PS injured list". He was seen using crutches at team facility but the specifics of his injury were not disclosed.

I haven't heard about it either but according to the Packers website it's a thing:

If Hyde is covering Eric Ebron then that all-too-familiar throw across the middle could be open just about every time Detroit needs a critical first down.

I fully expect Burnett to cover Ebron for most of the game.

 

[Royal Pain]

Who are the players to watch out for, Zenner and Tate?

Matthew Stafford.

He's finally having a year where he's healthy and he has good talent around him. He showed what he can do when given time in the first game against us this season. We know we can't count on our db's, so the D-line and linebackers need to put consistent pressure on Stafford.

I could probably google this, but you generally know these things:
Is Pennel eligible to return if we make the playoffs?

I misspoke, meant to say team as a whole, not defense.

Yes.

It will be interesting to see if slay can play. He was limited in practice and hamstrings can easily flair back up. In sure he will do whatever possible to get back on the field.

If nothing else, it will be something the announcers will talk about after Adams and/or Jordy scorch him for a long TD or 2.

 

[brandon2348]

Yes.

That's huge with Dallas on the horizon.

I'm hoping the team isn't as cocky as some of their fans and nearly all the media prognostications I've seen. I wouldn't deem the Lions winning this game as a surprise.

Agreed. Not sure why people are acting like the Packers are locks to win. The secondary is not good enough for us to chalk a road game against a quality team as a win. It will likely be a battle

 

[SoonerPack]

I am typically all for playing the best team possible but I won't be mad in the slightest if Slay doesn't go Sunday night. He is THAT much of a difference maker. However, even if he does go, I don't see him being his normal self but who knows. The way we are playing right now I expect us to win regardless. Hopefully The G Men can take care of the Skins and we can all watch the game with a little less anxiety. It makes me physically ill to think of missing the playoffs after this amazing run they've been on. Here's to a Giants win and a dominant regular season finale by our boys propelling us towards a title run. This season smells a lot like 2010 and we all know how fragrant that year proved to be. G P G!

CUT THE SECONDARY NOW!!!!!

CUT THE SECONDARY NOW!!!!!

You forgot "and fire Capers!!".

I don't expect Pennel to have an immediate impact once he returns from his suspension.

Aaron Rodgers is the reason why people are acting like the Packers are locks to win.

Aaron Rodgers is the reason why people are acting like the Packers are locks to win.

Well if you woke up this morning and read that Aaron Rodgers was hurt in a domestic shower incident and wouldn't be playing on Sunday, would you expect them to win? I think we all know, when you have #12 behind center, there is always a chance to win, even if your defense gives up 45 points.

That's correct. You can't have any sunshine without the sun !

Only if he and two clones can also start at CB.

I wonder what the percentage of Packer fans there is in Minnesota ? I noticed in sports stores there was about 50/50 in Packer and Viking merchandise plus an all Packers store in the Mall Of America. Minnesota used to be Packer territory until the foundlings came.
