I read on Twitter that everyone hurt came back in. I think that report was obviously wrong for Cook.
But Martinez and Randall did come back after leaving the field.

Hyde, Randall, and the rest of the secondary had awful games

IMO the reason Detroit stayed in the game was because the Lions took advantage of our extremely thin D line, no CM3 and 2 starting DBs out.
Frontrunning is back and it feels so good.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.
Is this a thing that happens to all NFL teams? Is it human nature to relax, or is it the prevent defense and the conservative playcalling?
I get, to some extent, backing off on defense so you don't get burned for a quick touchdown. But wait, didn't that happen anyway? It wasn't until the end of the game, when Dom went back to a more aggressive defense and MM let Rodgers throw that slant to Adams, that they salted it away.
That second half kinda took some of the joy out of that game.

This is just wrong.
Detroit was eating up possession in the second half with long sustained drives (due to Packers thin D).
We had one drive stall for a FG due to a holding penalty.
One drive end due to a drop by Cobb
Another drive basically end due to a Trevor Davis drop
In the above drives McCarthy called excellent plays, I believe. You want to run the clock out and put the team in manageable 3rd down distances. That was achieved but the players did not execute as well as they should have.
On the final drive Lacy made some great runs to end the game.
Now please explain to us how the foot was taken off the gas? Should we throw every single play and eat up only 20 seconds off the clock on a drive? Then we will be reading posts from you about how the play calling sucks and McCarthy didn't feed Lacy who had a great day?
I am better looking than you.
Dang, Arclite. All that factual recounting. You're messing me up, man.

Sorry.
Would hate to get in the way of a good 'Fire McCarthy' narrative
I am better looking than you.
but we didn't eat time off the clock, and they destroyed us in the TOP battle
not to mention we saw a-rod going back to looking for the deep balls too many times
sure you could sit there and blame the lack of offense in the second half on 3 plays. but the fact is, we came out with a different game plan both on offense and defense in the second half.
why stop what was working so well in the first half?
a rod was 3-6 for 31 yards in the second half.
does that look anywhere close to the same type of output we had in the first half?
you have to have balance on offense. i think we called 9 pass plays the whole half
and we called somewhere around 12 or 13 runs (not counting kneel downs and qb scrambles or sacks)
so we did go run heavy in the second
I don't want to see McCarthy fired. If he got fired, he'd have a new job in about two minutes.
I just want to bitch.
Though I am happy they won, and in the big picture, honestly, it's a win without a bunch of starters, and you could say the team just let down.
But that baseless bitching sure was fun.

Okay, double post, but I don't care. Here's what Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press wrote after the game:
"The Packers were tougher. They were smarter. And they were better coached, jumping out to a 31-3 lead."
Wow. Tough? Smart? Well-coached?
Maybe we're all too inside our heads. Or maybe the Lions just suck really bad. I don't know.

and i call that mike sherman syndrome
both of the last 2 mikes are very similar IMO, both did next to nothing as far as coaching was concerned, both just rode HOF QB's to success
many packer fans couldn't believe we could get rid of such a winning coach as sherman. he did jack squat after leaving green bay BTW
hell, if a lot of packer fans had their way, sherman would probably still be the head coach. and the sad thing is, we probably would have won just as many super bowls in that timeframe
