[QUOTE="weeds, post: 1046226, member: 39"] Last season, each team laid a major egg head to head. In the September game, at Lambeau, the Pack were b*tch slapped pretty handily and in the November game on Thanksgiving no less, the Pack jumped out to a big lead but still let the Lions make a game out of it. The Pack allowed no sacks and didn't turn the ball over whereas the Lions allowed 3 of each. You can look at the boxscore and dismiss those stats as "garbage yardage" if you want, but I don't. Arguably, the Lions are the best team in the NFL at this point in the season and anything can happen as the season progresses. Still, if the Pack are not competitive at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, it's going to be a long, long, long day. The Pack start slowly?? Kiss 'er goodbye. The Lions, in my opinion, on paper are the more "talented" team and are [B]expected[/B] to win. Not only more talented, but in my estimation, the more aggressive team as well. They have evolved into one of those teams that will try to intimidate an opponent from the outset - call that what you want, because I'm not going to say what I call it ... and then, as someone said during the week, will not only try to win by whatever means, they will try to humiliate opponents ... not just win. So, sportsmanship is not even factored into the equation. Yeah...yeah...yeah... I've heard their response ... "If you don't want to be humiliated, then, stop 'em", right? That doesn't alter my original premise that sportsmanship is not in their coach's frame of reference. The only response that the Pack SHOULD offer up is some bad attitude too. If it turns into a feeding frenzy of cheap shots and sh*t talk ... so be it. I think though that Alexander won't play - he never seems to when an opponent with actual talent at receiver is next up on the schedule. If this sounds like I'm counting the Pack out ... I'm not. We'll see if Matt and his staff have them ready to play and if this team has an attitude that's sh*tty enough to compete on the Lions level of sh*ttiness. There... I've said it. We'll know by half-way through the first quarter what it'll be. [/QUOTE]
