Golden Tate is a mediocre #2 receiver IMO. Seattle let him walk without much of a struggle and they aren't exactly stacked at WR. Their #3 is Jeremy Ross? I'd take all of the Packers WRs over the Lions' except Johnson. Stafford is good, but not Rodgers good. Reggie Bush is who we've seen for 6-7 years now. Decent runner, good receiver. I'd take the GB RB group there, but not by much.
Hard to compare 3-4 (2-5, 1-6, amoeba...whatever) LBs to a 4-3 but as a group it's close I suppose. Give the Packers a good MLB and it's not nearly as close.
Packers secondary is better. I'm not sure even Lions fans would argue that.
You put a lot of stock in a team's Dline so that's probably your line of thinking on the matter?
Their DL habitually bitch-slaps our OL ballarina dancers - that is a huge, huge problem for us.
All other things being pretty equal - yes, that is probably the difference.
Their DL habitually STOMPS our OL ballarina dancers - that is a huge, huge problem for us.
All other things being pretty equal - yes, that is probably the difference.
There I fixed it, then they get the boot from the game and we still win.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
