I second this.

In Detroit, the sportsheads are talking about this as a "referendum" game - a referendum on the Stafford contract extension, a referendum on the OC, Jim Bob Cooter, and a referendum on Jim Caldwell and the contract extension he received earlier in the year.

The Packer defense is spoken of in dismissive terms, and maybe appropriately so.

Lions' back end on defense is playing great, particularly Slay and Quinn.
