Your last line saved the day, Guinness.

Yeah, the injuries on defense...I can see what MM is doing there. Why risk aggravating injuries to Burnett, Matthews, Guion, and Jones, when you have a bye next week? He's thinking that way he'll get them back in two weeks, close to 100%. And he's hoping Peppers can give the team a lift this week.

Stafford is playing the best football of his career right now, despite a sub-par offensive line. (You hear that, Tex??) While Packer fans clamor for a third-down scat back who can catch the ball out of the backfield, that's all the Lions have in their running game.

Lions also not without their own injury woes: Ansah, Levy, Williams (other starting outside linebacker) all out.

The Packers really ought to win this,depleted defense or not. We've been gushing about the depth of the Packer defensive backfield, and wondering why MM kept so many d-backs. Well, let's find out.

If Rodgers and Company can't get untracked at home against this depleted Lions' defense, then we can all hit the panic button, hard.

Come on Packers, goddammit.
