Official Week 3 Lions at Packers Game Day Thread

I don't think MM cares whether he wins by 1 or 100 as long as he wins. He seems unconcerned about keeping his foot on the gas vs. counting possessions and figuring out how to bleed the clock, while possibly allowing the other team to make a game of it. Remember the Atlanta game in 2014 amidst a perfect home record? They were owning Atlanta, much like they were owning Detroit by halftime yesterday. Then, they went into a shell in the second half and held on to win in both games, which takes me back to my points. It's a calculated way to win, but can give the fans discomfort at times. They were certainly short-handed, and probably wanted to make sure they didn't sustain any further injury. Is it the best approach? I don't know. They won.

You're probably right ....... and that's an OK thing right up until it isn't. Occasionally, something goes wrong with that "just getting by" approach, and you don't. In other words, rarely, Aaron Rodgers doesn't bail him out from his stupid tendency to be that way.
