The Official Packers Lions Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

Here we are week 17 of the season. Before the season started I was worried about finishing at Det and dropping the last 2 games of the season. Instead we meet a team that has been severely hampered with injuries this year.

The Packers should win this game going away. They should have the motivation and talent to dominate this game. Det is starting their 3rd string QB and if we can get a rush like last week don’t be surprised if we get 3 turnovers during the game.

I don’t see how but if the Packers somehow look past this game it will be close.

Packers win, 34-13.

[pbmax]

A chip on the shoulder game (see pic below). Rodgers didn't make the top 10 list on NFL for QBs and Jones is now living in chip land as well.

Detroit will scheme their way on D to make it close and the pass blocking on the edges will be dodgy at times on the road.

Second half adjustments win the day. Packers 27 Lions 20

This will be a good barometer of this team's character. Will they show up to play, like a championship team, or will they let a strong Lions effort bitch-slap them? The Flower needs to make sure they don't think they can walk out onto Ford Field and expect the Leos to lay down for them.

All this talk about a great locker room and having the right mind-set? We'll see today.

Obligatory game day pessimistic post: this will come down to a winning field goal attempt on one side or the other.

[Freak Out]

Destiny awaits.

[pbmax]

Green Bay Packers
11 WR Ryan Grant
25 S Will Redmond
30 RB Jamaal Williams
45 FB Danny Vitale
70 T/G Alex Light
79 T John Leglue

Detroit Lions
28 CB Michael Jackson
30 CB Dee Virgin
36 RB Wes Hills
69 DE Jonathan Wynn
71 T Rick Wagner
74 G Caleb Benenoch
91 DT A'Shawn Robinson

[pbmax]

So I guess Raven Greene not ready yet?

But Ka'Dar Hollman is BACK!

Bill Huber @BillHuberSI
No surprise on Jamaal Williams being out. Presumably means chances for Dexter Williams. With Tony Brown's release, Ka'Dar Hollman is up.

[George Cumby]

Obligatory game day pessimistic post: this will come down to a winning field goal attempt on one side or the other.

Enjoy the Win, Fritz!

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[ThunderDan]

That’s horrible, not a personal foul.

[pittstang5]

What a fuckin joke? Roughing the QB. Horsehit!!!

[ThunderDan]

Good run support by Tramon.

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!!!

[ThunderDan]

Watch the fake. Det has nothing to lose.

[pittstang5]

REally??? Fuckin Graham!!! Catch the fucking Ball!!!

[ThunderDan]

Of course Graham can’t catch a wide open seem route.

[pittstang5]

Horrible series!

How is Graham still on this team!!! Cut his ass now

[Teamcheez1]

Stupid play on 3rd down

[Harlan Huckleby]

that goes on Jimmy highlight reel

[pbmax]

My least favorite 3 play sequence this year.

Route to Graham, wide run to Jones, deep throw. At least it was 3rd and 10.

[ThunderDan]

3rd and 8 and we once again go for a 30 play down the field. Blitz pickup was fine. ARod needs to make a better choice.

[Gotarace]

Poor Opening Drive...Jimmy "Death By 10 Million Cuts" Graham Come on Man...

[Teamcheez1]

Horrible series!

How is Graham still on this team!!! Cut his ass now

I hope we don’t see him the rest of the game

[ThunderDan]

Can we leave Graham in Det after the game?

[pbmax]

Stupid play on 3rd down

It wasn’t a bad route. He had half a step and room to the outside. But he never kicked it into top gear it seemed.

Or just overthrown.

[red]

Seems like a rod didn’t listen to himself this week when he said he doesn’t need to be a hero and he just needs to run the system

3rd and 8 and he goes for the deep play along the sideline

And jimmy graham is worthless

[Harlan Huckleby]

Any tread left on Bubba Franks' tires?

[Gotarace]

Aaron didn't have a TD pass last week...Needs one on the opening Drive.

[pbmax]

Lot of 2-4 nickel from a defense that doesn’t run it much.

#wist

[TravisWilliams23]

3 and out. Thank's Jimmy.

[pittstang5]

Any tread left on Bubba Franks' tires?

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

[ThunderDan]

Z Smith playing ILB on the snap.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Packers are looking at this week as a Bye

[pittstang5]

Middle wide open

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!!!

[ThunderDan]

Not sure they needed to hold there. Had the edge on the run.

[pbmax]

No better way to get holding called than to fall down. ZaDarius

[pittstang5]

Wow a team that can dig themselves out of 1st and 20. What's that like?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Z gets revenge for the weak RTP call

[red]

Can we leave Graham in Det after the game?

They love TEs there, they might give us a first for him

[Gotarace]

Martenez Got blowin off the lie of scrimmage

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!!! Need a turnover!!

[ThunderDan]

Packers seem to be sleeping so far.

[pbmax]

Look what happens when your WR has good hands.

[TravisWilliams23]

Another hold on Martinez not called.

[pittstang5]

Wow...defense looks like shit! So slow to react

[red]

Wow, defense already in post season form

[Harlan Huckleby]

bad d

[pittstang5]

Wow...too easy

[pittstang5]

it's fuckin Detroit!!!! Cmon DEfense!!!!

[red]

Better get your fucking shit together ASAP guys

[Gotarace]

Wow we really didn't need to Give the Lions hope...Could be a long Day.

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, we are losing to the Lions.

Fuck this, how are we not completely ready to blow the Loins out.

[Rutnstrut]

Can't expect this team to play two solid games in a row.

[pbmax]

I’d be less upset if that play wasn’t run once per week now.

[TravisWilliams23]

When did Amendola remove his helmet?

[jklowan]

jeckell & hyde season continues wtf

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think it's nice that the Packers let Detroit win sometimes.

[Bretsky]

I’d be less upset if that play wasn’t run once per week now.

We better not shit all over ourselves today

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why do people say King is having a nice season?

Bevell was on Sherman's staff.

[Zool]

Welcome back Kevin King. He took a full bite of that fake.

[TravisWilliams23]

All started to go downhill after Jimmy's drop. Put the team in a funk from the get go.

[pbmax]

Well chosen play versus single high safety.

A good return!

[red]

Well at least Ervin wants to win

[Gotarace]

I blame that touchdown on Jimmy Graham...I hate Jimmy Graham

[pittstang5]

Great field position to be pissed away yet again

[red]

My god

Still think this is The same a rod?

Not even close

[Rutnstrut]

Rodgers continues to be inaccurate.

[pittstang5]

All day the throw....fuck me!!!!

CMon Rogers...LEt's GO!!!!!

[Gotarace]

WTF doesn't Aaron even look short anymore?

[Bretsky]

Rodgers shit in himself in that throw. Jones wife open

[red]

Looking at nothing but deep again, then throws away

There had to be a safety valve somewhere

[pittstang5]

only took half of a quarter to make a decent completion.

[pbmax]

How does he do that with Adams and no one else except Jamaal Williams on screens.

[ThunderDan]

That has to be Defensive holding. DE grabbing Jones coming out of the backfield on the pass.

[Bretsky]

Gitta ride jones

[pbmax]

Who was the fullback?

[pbmax]

That has to be Defensive holding. DE grabbing Jones coming out of the backfield on the pass.

Saw a bump, you sure about hold?

[pittstang5]

if you're gonna run, please don't run outside on this 3rd down

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers looks like crap again

[red]

Why are they so scared of using dexter Williams?

He looked damn good in pre season, and running back is the one position where rookies can come in a look good right away

[ThunderDan]

That was an uninspiring 3rd down run.

[pittstang5]

OMG!!!! Can't get one fuckin yard!!!!

[pittstang5]

ONE FUCKIN YARD!!!!!

[red]

He got it, great second effort

[pbmax]

Bach got crushed by someone.

[ThunderDan]

Thank you Aaron Jones. Great 2nd effort.

[Harlan Huckleby]

wow great play

[pbmax]

Lazard on wrong route.

[red]

Another deep throw

And drink

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lazard on wrong route.

maybe so

[pittstang5]

Nice cut Dexter, got what he could out of that

[red]

See, good first run

[red]

Short, but flag

Wow, such a weak call

[pittstang5]

Good Grief!!!!

[pbmax]

What?

[ThunderDan]

Really, football players forget how to hold on to the ball during contact if they haven’t play in a while?

[Harlan Huckleby]

cheap call

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Serious!!!!

[ThunderDan]

How is it a pick if the player catches the ball before the WR initiates contact.

[Gotarace]

What a Shit-Show...unreal

[Teamcheez1]

M4 does not have this team ready to play

[Harlan Huckleby]

fuck. quick kick.

[pittstang5]

Now out of FG range

[pbmax]

Terrible OPI call. Another drop on poor pass.

[Rutnstrut]

Rodgers is not a great QB any more.

[Bretsky]

What the hell

[pittstang5]

MVS and Graham need time with the jug machine...fuckin pathetic

[pbmax]

How is it a pick if the player catches the ball before the WR initiates contact.

He barely bumped into the guy.

[red]

GOD DAMNIT

Pull your heads out of your asses

Did Lafayette just give them the whole week off to get pedicures and shit?

Shit throw

[ThunderDan]

Go from a 40 yard FG to a punt.

[Fosco33]

What a shitty start. Was worried about trap game. And lions have beaten us often last few years. Not good.

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!!! Need a Turnover!!!

[Gotarace]

Aaron just can't hit Receivers in Stride...that was on Danica's Daddy

[pbmax]

Rodgers is not a great QB any more.

Golladay bailed out his QB with good hands.

Packers receivers don’t return the favor. Never catch throws at odd angles. Don’t catch balls in their lap.

[Rutnstrut]

He barely bumped into the guy.


Officiating needs to be more consistent. It's all over the place from crew to crew.

[Zool]

That’s now 3 bad throws. Gotta have more from a guy making $30M.

[pbmax]

There was a 3-3. Good choice.

[ThunderDan]

Martinez with a Tfl in the run game.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Anyone tried the impossible whopper? I flip burgers at the other joint.

[Zool]

Golladay bailed out his QB with good hands.

Packers receivers don’t return the favor. Never catch throws at odd angles. Don’t catch balls in their lap.

I have a hard time blaming the WR who’s running with no one near him. Tho Vagnia Scalding is bad.

[Fritz]

GOD DAMNIT

Pull your heads out of your asses

Did Lafayette just give them the whole week off to get pedicures and shit?

Shit throw


Nightmare.

[pbmax]

Now that was a bad throw.

[Rutnstrut]

Golladay bailed out his QB with good hands.

Packers receivers don’t return the favor. Never catch throws at odd angles. Don’t catch balls in their lap.


So now they need mediocre receivers to make their QB look good? I thought a great QB made crappy WR's look good.

[Teamcheez1]

Two bad QB’s playing today

[ThunderDan]

D gifted a 3 and out. But we will take it.

[pbmax]

Time to go with three new WR in off season.

[Gotarace]

Days like today make me Wonder why we Rushed to Extend Aaron Rodgers

[Rutnstrut]

Time to run the ball, A LOT.

[pbmax]

D gifted a 3 and out. But we will take it.

3rd string QB giveth (philly special) and 3rd string QB taketh away (poor throw).

[pbmax]

Time to run the ball, A LOT.

Agreed.

[Zool]

Time to go with three new WR in off season.

And 2 new TEs.

[Rutnstrut]

Days like today make me Wonder why we Rushed to Extend Aaron Rodgers

Truthfully he hasn't shown much of anything since that contract.

[Fosco33]

No production on 1/2nd down. Bunch of 3rd and Long. Aaron needs some smelling salts.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Time to go with three new WR in off season.

Too late. I warned y'all in March.

Metcalf, Isabella, Riley.

[pbmax]

So now they need mediocre receivers to make their QB look good? I thought a great QB made crappy WR's look good.

He makes Lazard look good. The rest don’t offer anything except Adams.

[esoxx]

Just got to love the cheap, ticky tack calls. Let them fucking play a little bit!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think they miss Williams a bit

[pbmax]

They adjusted on D. Need run adjustment on O.

[ThunderDan]

Don’t think the cutback was the right choice. Looked like the hole was in front of him.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jones missed the hole.

[Fritz]

Bad, bad, bad. Playing with zero energy.

[esoxx]

Too late. I warned y'all in March.

Metcalf, Isabella, Riley.

I'd rather have A.J. Brown.

[MadtownPacker]

Looks like they are warming up on O.

[pbmax]

No production on 1/2nd down. Bunch of 3rd and Long. Aaron needs some smelling salts.

1st down has been a problem all season.

[ThunderDan]

There is a throw right in stride.

[pbmax]

Jones is not afraid, I’ll say that.

Jones with no interference out of backfield it’s no problem to complete.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Maybe they should throw to Adams even when he's covered.

[ThunderDan]

Nope, incomplete.

[Harlan Huckleby]

They listened to me

[esoxx]

Two fucking refs standing right there and they both somehow think he got his feet in bounds? LMAO

[pbmax]

Throw a little late?

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers 2 completions for 29 yards

[pbmax]

Two fucking refs standing right there and they both somehow think he got his feet in bounds? LMAO

The guy closer to the LOS didn’t at first. Deep guy talked him out of it.

[esoxx]

The guy closer to the LOS didn’t at first. Deep guy talked him out of it.

Has the deep guy been drinking? What is he seeing?

[Harlan Huckleby]

They need a little production out of another back

[pbmax]

Bad protection call.

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Nightmare!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers is garbage today

[Fosco33]

Maybe they don’t want the bye.

[esoxx]

Rodgers sleep walking out there. How about a side step?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers did his job by not forcing a throw

[Rutnstrut]

They need a little production out of another back


Yeah the quarterback.

[ThunderDan]

Had to be a complete blow in the protection call. Every one moved right and the Lions were overloaded on the other side.

[pittstang5]

Can't even get into FG range. What the Christ!!!

[esoxx]

Too much hookers and blow last night in the Motor City.

[pbmax]

Has the deep guy been drinking? What is he seeing?

That sky cam shot when they came back showed him dragging that front foot ( not sure if he got the pellets jumping).

But the ball wasn’t there yet. Think he saw feet and then looked for catch.

[Gotarace]

At least Scott is Punting Well...

[pittstang5]

DEfense is garbage, Rogers is garbage. MVS and Graham are garbage. What the hell!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

jeez, giant holes

[pbmax]

2-4 ain’t working.

[Harlan Huckleby]

zeee

[ThunderDan]

Amos with a nice TFL in pass D.

[pbmax]

Love the new sideline rule.

[Harlan Huckleby]

the big mo just shifted

[Gotarace]

Aaron...2/9 29 yards...unacceptable

[pbmax]

Linsley is questionable with back.

Patrick in.

[pbmax]

Let’s do that again.

[pittstang5]

Earn your extension Patrick!!!

Nice hole!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Linsley is questionable with back.

Patrick in.

Better to lose the game than lose linsley for playoffs

[Radagast]

I'd like to say the Packers are impressing before the playoffs, but...

[pittstang5]

enough with the deep shit. It ain't working..

LET'S GO!!!!

[pbmax]

Missed Williams blocking on that one but Jones got it done.

[Gotarace]

Aaron refuses to scramble...come on

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers is just terrible.

[pbmax]

Poor effort on the sideline catch.

[esoxx]

Well, in fairness to Rodgers, Detroit does have the worst ranked passing defense in the league. Tough sledding out there.

[Harlan Huckleby]

3 yards outta bounds

[ThunderDan]

We are playing for a bye and possibly the top seed. Somehow we didn’t get up for the game,

[pittstang5]

Why is every deep throw to the sidelines? Is the middle of the field not open?

[Gotarace]

Why is every deep throw to the sidelines? Is the middle of the field not open?
Graham Dropped one wide open there...it's Cursed

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The corners at Wisconsin-Stevens Point could cover these wankers playing receiver for the Pack.

[ThunderDan]

Rogue 1 is starting on TNT. It is going to be tempting not to watch it.

[esoxx]

Fackrell looking for his jock strap.

[pittstang5]

Give me a break!!!

[ThunderDan]

New Orleans able to play with a spark against Carolina to finish the season.

[pbmax]

Safety went chasing and offered no help.

[Teamcheez1]

We are not prepared to play

[Zool]

Maybe the O won’t suck in the second half?

[red]

did a-rod convince the rest of the team to throw the game?

we all know how much he hates playing at home in the cold

[jklowan]

this team blows

[Gotarace]

Alexander ...10 yard cushion...Sweet

[pbmax]

Fackrell gets holding called

[ThunderDan]

Fackrell caused the hold.

[pbmax]

did a-rod convince the rest of the team to throw the game?

we all know how much he hates playing at home in the cold

What?

[pittstang5]

Fackrell gets holding called

Yea, that was obvious holding.

[Zool]

What?

Maybe he thinks Rodgers has gone full Favre?

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!!! Need a turnover!!!

[pbmax]

Same pick play Packers ran and no call on block.

[Teamcheez1]

Blown coverage

[esoxx]

David fucking Blough outplaying Hollywood Rodgers.

And it's not even close.

[ThunderDan]

That was as much as a pick as the call on Adams was.

[pittstang5]

How is he wide open, right at the 1st down.

[jklowan]

how many 20 yd conversions are we gonna allow fuck this team no heart

[red]

What?

he'd rather be in warm weather malibu then green bay

[Teamcheez1]

We are getting picked apart by a 3rd string QB

[MadtownPacker]

Maybe he thinks Rodgers has gone full Favre?Didnt Eli and friends give out the same playoff beatdown to a younger Rodgers at Lambeau?

[esoxx]

What a dumbass Alexander

[pittstang5]

Fuckin A!!!! Stupid penalty

[red]

yup, can't suplex the guy

pretty decent belly to back tazplex

[pbmax]

Cmon. Jaire after the whistle. Amendola was jawing at him earlier and got in his head.

[pittstang5]

just let them score at this point

[ThunderDan]

How is that after the play was over? Ok so it is personal foul, but it certainly isn’t after the play to tackle the ball carrier.

[red]

How is that after the play was over? Ok so it is personal foul, but it certainly isn’t after the play to tackle the ball carrier.

can't pick them up off the ground and them slam them

[red]

blow looks so much better then rodgers right now

[Zool]

Soooo, Vikings in GB next week huh?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Who the fuck is David Blough?

[pittstang5]

Defense has sucked royally on 3rd down

[Teamcheez1]

Blough making Rodgers look even worse

[pittstang5]

Just give them the 6 points. Defense is wasted

[Zool]

Where is Preston Smith these last couple weeks?

[red]

jeesus

what a complete joke

can't look much worse

[esoxx]

What a beatdown. Embarrassing

[pittstang5]

Soooo, Vikings in GB next week huh?

Yep

[ThunderDan]

can't pick them up off the ground and them slam them

I understand that. But if I am doing that to tackle the carrier it isn’t after the play. If he lets him go the WR could continue down the field.

[red]

Who the fuck is David Blough?

the guy thats making our 100 million plus QB look like a third stringer

[MadtownPacker]

Defense has played the whole game. Need to dig deep and go down the field and score or it’s gonna be an early playoff exit.

[esoxx]

Fucking team shitting all over MLF. He gives them full day off on Christmas on a short practice week and this is how they repay the guy?

Hope MLF learned a lesson on this one.

[Zool]

I understand that. But if I am doing that to tackle the carrier it isn’t after the play. If he lets him go the WR could continue down the field.

Amendola stepped out before being picked up.

[JohnMexico]

Fucking stupid ass team. Rodgers cant do this shit anymore and Lafleur hasnt proven that he can do it yet.

[red]

I understand that. But if I am doing that to tackle the carrier it isn’t after the play. If he lets him go the WR could continue down the field.

i think it all comes from when barr broke rodgers collar bone

its one of those rules that turned the nfl into the all pussy league

[ThunderDan]

No complete shit call. The ref on the other side of the field made the call. He couldn’t see where the block was initiated.

[ThunderDan]

Now Jones broke his wrist trying to catch the ball.

[red]

RUN THE FUCKING OFFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUIT GOING DEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now we are fucked, jones out

[Teamcheez1]

What a stupid play by Rodgers again!

[pittstang5]

the guy thats making our 100 million plus QB look like a third stringer

If Rogers would stop taking shots down field, i think we'd be a little more in this game. but a leopard ain't gonna change his spots.

There he goes again and now Jones is hurt. Fuck me!!!

[red]

Now Jones broke his wrist trying to catch the ball.

correction

trying to dive for yet another overthrown throw
