Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
According to Cohen's JSO story, Clay's other injury is a hamstring.

Packers missing five defensive players on Wednesday: Clay Matthews, Morgan Burnett, Letroy Guion, Datone Jones and Sam Shields. All but Shields (concussion) were at least watching practice. Matthews, Burnett and Jones were on the elliptical and bikes.
Much to texaspackerbacker's (Tex) delight, the Lions have put RB Ameer Abdullah on IR.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
This game scares me. The Lions have a capable offense, while ours is a dumpster fire. If what is left of our defense at this point doesn't show up, we are looking at yet another divisional home loss.
I'm guessing at this point that we find a way to sneak past the pussycats, but I don't think it will be in a way that answers any of the questions about our offense.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
All I know is that Stafford is going to put up some big numbers. Our pass defense is horrible right now.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
If we dont win by 14+ this game is a loss.
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.
If the Packers don't win this game, it might be time for some panic to creep into the fan base.
The Lions are hurt, and their offensive line is bad. I know that sounds like the Vikings, but this defense is not of that caliber. Ansah, their best defensive player (maybe Slay is close), is hurt and may not play. Andre Levy is hurt and may not play. Their other starting linebacker is out, too. As APB points out, Abdullah is out - they have only a scat back as a running back in Theo Riddick. Hali Ngata is slowing down.
Stafford has been playing well. But if the Packers can't beat this beat-up team at home, then there is some very real trouble in Green Bay - especially if the offense can't score again.

When Sherman ruled the Pack, and the Pack were facing "adversity", Detriot was the team that would always put the Pack out of its misery. Pack would slaughter the Lions in fashion, regain intrepidity, confidence and potency along the way. Pack would eventually make the playoffs - In fact, Sherman NEVER missed the playoffs as King/GM/Coach.
With the offense tanking in the face of adversity, McCarthy would be wise borrow some stuff from Sherman's playbook, literally and figuratively. Hell, run the U-72! Throw backward pass to TE who then throw TD WR! Slaughter the Lions! Regain intrepidity, confidence and potency!

Stafford is my favorite NFL QB after Ice Ice Ryan. Stafford would be #1 were he not a non-Packer NFC North QB.
As many of you know: I am a scout with a Master's from you-know-where. Here's my scouting report on Stafford: Has a rocket of an arm. Gunslinger through and through. Humble. Amicable. Benevolent. Antithesis of egomaniac. The much used noun "jerk" is never used to describe Stafford.
How nice of a guy is Stafford? If you tell him you have not engaged in coitus since Super Bowl 31, Stafford will take you to a bar, find the belle of the bar and say to said belle, "Hi, I am Matt Stafford, millionaire, football star, handsome fellow and man of virtue. I know I had you at millionaire and you're likely soaking wet right now, but if you want me, you gotta fuck my buddy here first."
Hopefully Stafford has a good game Sunday and the Lions lose.

Since Jim Bob Cooter became the OC mid last season, in 10 games Stafford has been fantastic. 69.3% completion percentage, 2779 yds, 23 TD, 3 INT, QB Rating 108.2.
I just don't know about all this talk that if it's not a 14 point win, the Pack should be embarrassed. I think that's unrealistic.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
I don't know about a fourteen point win, but the Lions have no running game and a weak offensive line. The Packers supposedly have a good defensive backfield and good linebackers.
If the Packers can't beat a beat-up Lions team at home, there is trouble in paradise. And if the Packers win 13 - 10, that's not so good, either. Better than a loss, but not very encouraging.

T.J. Lang did not practice today. He was at practice working on a stationary bike. Brian Price has been promoted to the 53.
Thom Brennaman and Charles Davis calling the game.
Alright, Charles Davis. Might listen to TV broadcast.

That map chops off a solid chunk of northern WI and gives it to the Vikings. It has been that way for a few years now. I have many friends and relatives who are livid, as they are no longer able to see Packer games. On cable they previously were able to get the games, bot not under the current licenses. It makes no sense, because it is and always has been solid Packer territory.
It's because their stations come out of Duluth.
