Official lions vs Packers Gameday Thread

[Fosco33]

Are you ready for the Yooper Bowl?

The battle for the 7th seed or NFCN pride comes down to the final game of the NFL season tonight in Lambeau.

You can be assured that the Lions will come ready to fight or spoil the late season run by the Packers.

You can also be secure knowing we’re playing this one with Doubs, Watson, Cobb and without Watkins/Amari unlike week 9.

You can also bet your house that ARod won’t be the leading rusher for the Packers and is very unlikely to throw 2 red zone INTs.

Lambeau will be rocking. The Packers are playing better as a team at the right time.

While the Lions have had our number lately - it won’t be enough to tonight to soothe the mid season naysayers.

Packers 37
Lions 30

[Sparkey]

Lions 24 Packers 17. I want to be wrong.

[Fosco33]

GREEN BAY -- Here are the inactives for Sunday night's Packers-Lions game at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay Packers

22 CB Shemar Jean-Charles
63 T Rasheed Walker
72 T Caleb Jones
80 WR Bo Melton
99 DL Jonathan Ford

Detroit Lions

1 CB Jeff Okudah
46 RB Craig Reynolds
28 RB Jermar Jefferson
90 DL Michael Brockers
2 DL Austin Bryant
74 G Kayode Awosika
66 G Ross Pierschbacker

[red]

OMG, a talking head just talked about, with video proof how rodgers is passing up wide open guys like crazy

but he did say he's been playing a lot better lately, which i haven't really seen

[run pMc]

No Okudah and no Brockers for DET on D, wow.

Meanwhile GB goes into the game with 4 DL. Gotta wonder why J.Ford is taking up a roster spot...other than Gute doesn't like to cut his picks.

[MadtownPacker]

Rodgers looks like he’s ready for tonight but he does look a little cold. Would like to see them come out aggressive early to get the points on the board before it gets colder.

[run pMc]

OMG, a talking head just talked about, with video proof how rodgers is passing up wide open guys like crazy

but he did say he's been playing a lot better lately, which i haven't really seen

Uh, Rodgers has been passing up wide open guys for years. It's frustrating as hell. Is he playing better lately? Well the thumb isn't an issue so that probably helps, but he hasn't exactly been MVP material. I guess by 'playing better' you could edit that to say 'better than Zach Wilson' and be correct. Not even cracking 200 yards passing in a game the team scored 40+ says something.

[red]

Rodgers looks like he’s ready for tonight but he does look a little cold. Would like to see them come out aggressive early to get the points on the board before it gets colder.

yeah, he doesn't like the cold at all

[run pMc]

yeah, he doesn't like the cold at all

old football players don't. Ask Ol' Bert Farvey or whatever his name is.

[Packgator]

Gameday post.

[red]

why is there a giant fucking nerd on TV giving me some guys idea of winning %



who the fuck cares if some guy things some team has a 57.3% chance of winning?

[MadtownPacker]

why is there a giant fucking nerd on TV giving me some guys idea of winning %



who the fuck cares if some guy things some team has a 57.3% chance of winning? yeah he should get off your TV and your lawn!!

Baboso.. :lol:

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[George Cumby]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Even tho this game doesn't mean much to Lions I expect them to play like its playoffs. Packers have owned them (mostly) for 20 years and they want to move up to big dog slot

[red]

omg, when was the last time you heard one of our return guys referred to as "the dangerous returner"?

[George Cumby]

Nice block by Deguara.

[Sparkey]

Nice start to the first drive.

[red]

jones made the skinny long haired white kid wiff pretty bad on that run

nice catch and run by watson

and flag on long bomb

[Harlan Huckleby]

hit OOB

[ThunderDan]

Lions could finish above .500 for the first time in 5 years.

[MadtownPacker]

hit OOB you are an expert at low blows so you should know.

[Sparkey]

Stupid fucking delayed reuns up the middle inside the 5 ?

[red]

whats the temp there?

looks really cold

we had a nice day today up north in the UP

[Sparkey]

Bad throw.

[Teamcheez1]

More dumb plays in the red zone. What else is new?

Worst team in the NFL

[red]

threw it behind dillon from 5 yards away

[MadtownPacker]

I prefer he didn’t run right there. No need at this point.

[Harlan Huckleby]

looked like he coulda run in

[Sparkey]

whats the temp there?

looks really cold

we had a nice day today up north in the UP

24 - feels like 16

[George Cumby]

Better than an interception.

[MadtownPacker]

looked like he coulda run in
No way he was wobbling his way not running.

[ThunderDan]

More dumb plays in the red zone. What else is new?

We need to rethink the whole red zone O. Worse than horrible this year.

[beveaux1]

Jenkins whiffs on the Dillon run and Rodgers throws wildly on 3rd down. GB settles for 3.

[red]

More dumb plays in the red zone. What else is new?

we've been bad in the redzone for a long time, through multiple coaching staffs

i just don't get it, its like how we always seemed to suck on special teams

[RashanGary]

It’s not too cold. The packers seem to always play like shit when it’s cold, so I’m glad it’s mild.

[red]

I prefer he didn’t run right there. No need at this point.

he would have taken a huge hit at the goal line

[George Cumby]

I'm just glad they didn't fucking throw it three times.

I'll take the runs on downs one and two any day.

[red]

It’s not too cold. The packers seem to always play like shit when it’s cold, so I’m glad it’s mild.

the way you could see everyones breath and the way they are all standing makes it look like its even colder then 24

[RashanGary]

When the lions did their lineup, I felt like we were looking at the sisters of the poor. We win

[red]

Goff comes up throwing wounded ducks

[ThunderDan]

Clark with a great rush there.

[beveaux1]

3 and out. Go D.

[George Cumby]

Clark with pressure.

[RashanGary]

The ref looks like the little kid at school who’s mom doesn’t love him with that chapped face. Did he get drunk and fall asleep in the parking lot last night or what?

[ThunderDan]

we've been bad in the redzone for a long time, through multiple coaching staffs

i just don't get it, its like how we always seemed to suck on special teams

We were top of the league for a couple years when MLF was first here.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Cletidus pimping since Harrell started hating on him.

[beveaux1]

Let's get the running game going.

[RashanGary]

Cletidus pimping since Harrell started hating on him.

I know. I’m never right about anything. Sad.

[Fosco33]

What was jamaal saying during his intro. Sounded like key and peele. Lmao

[George Cumby]

What was jamaal saying during his intro. Sounded like key and peele. Lmao

Dude. WTAF was that?

[red]

don't go for it

[Sparkey]

What a dumbass play?

[George Cumby]

Astonished Cobb is still playing this late in the season.

Glad to be wrong on that one.

[MadtownPacker]

What a horrible fucking play

[red]

fucking idiots, lets just hand then some life

[ThunderDan]

Stop that fucking shit. Run up the middle on 4th and short.

[beveaux1]

Bad, bad play.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Whatever happened to the QB draw?

[red]

What was jamaal saying during his intro. Sounded like key and peele. Lmao

i wanted to ask the same damn thing

[George Cumby]

*sigh*

[Teamcheez1]

MLF’s playcalling is garbage.

[George Cumby]

Whatever happened to the QB draw?

Bert and the QB sneak.

[George Cumby]

The shortest distance between two points is a straight fucking line, MLF.

[George Cumby]

Love me some Quay.

[red]

that was a close one, could have been PI

look how fucking red dan campbells nose is?

[beveaux1]

D playing very aggressively. They may need to carry this game.

[ThunderDan]

Thanks D for bailing out stupid ass MiLF’s play calling choices.

[red]

lucky that stupid god damn decision only cost us 3 points

[RashanGary]

Gotta love when opposing coaches come into lambeau in 20 degree weather and wear a baseball cap for 3 hours. Stupid. I didn’t see what Lafleur was wearing so maybe he’s dumb too. But three hours standing is hat weather.

[RashanGary]

Love me some Quay.

For sure! He knocks dudes backwards. Rarely does he lose a collision.

[Fosco33]

I thought they were gonna take timeout to look at the spot and make a better 4th down call if they didn’t want to challenge. That spot moved back 2-3’

[beveaux1]

When did we change to going for it on our own 30. Even on 4th and 1 it seems like a stupid risk.

[Fosco33]

i wanted to ask the same damn thing

[George Cumby]

For sure! He knocks dudes backwards. Rarely does he lose a collision.

I suspected he was going to be good when we saw NOTHING of him during the preseason.

[red]

don't try and look tough, dress for the weather

when i go to games in december and january i'm wearing all kinds of cold weather gear. no shame in it

[George Cumby]

Deguara with another decent block.

[beveaux1]

Watson, wide open!

[red]

Love me some Quay.

he looks like a keeper

[ThunderDan]

Why have Lazard run the reverse?

[George Cumby]

another odd call.

[Sparkey]

Rodgers is a fucking idiot.

[red]

doubs has really been the odd man out since he came back

he looked like our go to guy before the injury

GET RID OF THE FUCKING BALL!!!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Throw the damn ball.

[red]

Why have Lazard run the reverse?

is that the 2nd or 3rd WR run already tonight?

[beveaux1]

Barely made a 49 yarder.

[Teamcheez1]

Someone remind me why we are paying AR $50M.

[ThunderDan]

Nijmam gets shit on by the announcers. He had Hutchinson stoned until Runyan pushed Hutchinson past Nijman.

[Sparkey]

Defense better play top notch ball or we lose this game.

[beveaux1]

I thought the lions were the #32 defense in the NFL. They're playing like world beaters right now.

[red]

Defense better play top notch ball or we lose this game.

2nd game in a row the defense looks top notch and the offense can't stop sitting on their own balls

[Fosco33]

Lots of end around, edge rushing.

Strange calls or packers not adjusting to a bad defense.

[RashanGary]

Why have Lazard run the reverse?

They have Lazard in motion a lot and have him block in the run game. Trying to break tendency. But the Lions aren’t confused by it at all. They’re playing their rules and crushing Lazard.

[red]

i'm scared for campbells nose, it looks frost bitten already

[beveaux1]

Quay stoned him.

[red]

pick the bastard up and t-bone suplex his ass quay

set the tone!!

[MadtownPacker]

pick the bastard up and t-bone suplex his ass quay

set the tone!!
Damn you been getting counseled by JH?

[beveaux1]

Incomplete. Might be a good challenge.

[Harlan Huckleby]

which of the St. Brown brothers is the best?

[MadtownPacker]

It looks like it hit the ground before he grabbed it.

[Guiness]

Barely made a 49 yarder.

that is no mean feat in Lambeau today! Did you see where the Seahawks kicker doinked a 46(?) yard try today, sending the game to overtime? And he made the pro bowl I believe.

[Sparkey]

which of the St. Brown brothers is the best?

The Sun God RA

[smuggler]

Feels like a dumb challenge. I know it was third down, but it's at midfield anyway. They'll go for it. If you can stop them on 4th, why not stop them after 1st.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

What ain’t 23 shutting down St. Brown on Jaire Island?

[ThunderDan]

Not sure that is a good challenge.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It looks like it hit the ground before he grabbed it.

It was a hell of a catch if he did get it.

[Fosco33]

Looked like a catch live. Idk about challenging that.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure that is a good challenge.

Or great challenge guys!

[beveaux1]

Nixon is a game changer

[smuggler]

I don't agree. Was close enough it should have stayed a catch.

[red]

and another WR end around

3 or 4 in the first quarter

[beveaux1]

Whatever Nixon wants, pay him!

[smuggler]

Holy shit Watson is fast. The defensive wing had that snuffed out and Watson just runs right around him.

[red]

holy shit its this nerd again with his %s

[MadtownPacker]

and another WR end around

3 or 4 in the first quarter
I don’t like seeing Watson getting roughed up so much.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I don't agree. Was close enough it should have stayed a catch.

The Frog ain’t Mike McCarthy dumb. Frog knows what he’s doing.

Good challenge.

[beveaux1]

holy shit its this nerd again with his %s

So true. Why play the games?

[red]

Whatever Nixon wants, pay him!

we won't keep him because we're too stupid

[Harlan Huckleby]

"we don't want them to go"

[red]

come on lazard

[red]

GREAT catch by tonyan

[ThunderDan]

Great catch by Tonyan.

[red]

even more impressive on the replay

[beveaux1]

Duck caught by Tonyan.

[Fosco33]

Bobby!

[Harlan Huckleby]

very few TEs can make that catch

[red]

even if he caught it, he would have been short. he has to be able to find someone open faster then that

[red]

STUPID JUST FUCKING STUPID

the play call was a dump off to dillion, who was covered

[ThunderDan]

I really hate the reseeding of the playoffs after every round. If the #7 team beats #2, don’t make them face the #1 seed. Let them play the winner of #3/#6.

[Teamcheez1]

Throw the damn ball.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I woulda declined that penalty

edit: guess they did decline

[beveaux1]

Nijman eaten up by hutchison.

[Teamcheez1]

I really hate the reseeding of the playoffs after every round. If the #7 team beats #2, don’t make them face the #1 seed. Let them play the winner of #3/#6.

We have a zero percent chance of beating the 49ers.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

For hands of steel are always cold.

Fucking drops!

[smuggler]

Crosby bailing out the offense.

[beveaux1]

Mason giving it everything he has.

[Rutnstrut]

The way AR is playing is actually hurting the offense.

[red]

Crosby bailing out the offense.

we've scored 3 times and could still end up losing after 1 bad play

[beveaux1]

They need to keep running the ball with their RBs, not Lazard.

[ThunderDan]

We have a zero percent chance of beating the 49ers.

Just a comment about the playoffs in general not saying anything about the Packers winning if they get in.

[red]

The way AR is playing is actually hurting the offense.

welcome to the 2022-2023 season

[Sparkey]

I've been told that our current situation is better than having a younger mobile QB....?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Nijman eaten up by hutchison.

Time to see what Tom can do against that hotshot white DE.

[smuggler]

The only play I saw thus far that is on Arod was 3rd and goal.

[ThunderDan]

Wyatt and Quay.

[red]

I've been told that our current situation is better than having a younger mobile QB....?

who runs the system and gets the ball out right after his 3rd step in a 3 step drop or after the 5th step in a 5 step drop

[ThunderDan]

Savage has to pick that. Thank god for the holding.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The way AR is playing is actually hurting the offense.

Nobody is blocking Hutchinson, hombre.

[beveaux1]

How did Savage not intercept that?

[red]

whew

lucky there

clear holding

[Sparkey]

Savage completely whiffs on the pick. Thank goodness for the hold.

[ThunderDan]

Savage make the damn tackle.

[smuggler]

Holy shit, Savage. Look back for the damn ball!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

21 Savage reminding us why he got benched. Tackle!

[Teamcheez1]

Both of these teams are lousy.

[Sparkey]

Savage sucks.

[Fosco33]

Def needs to step up. Take one of these ducks from Goff and put it in the stands.

[red]

well, defense gave their all for 1 quarter at least

[red]

wow

the fat rookie did something

[ThunderDan]

Wyatt was completely held on that and still got the sack.

[beveaux1]

Wyatt, sack!

[red]

hey look at that

3rd and 1 and they ran up the middle

amazing

[ThunderDan]

Horrible D call. Gave up and run right up the middle.

[Harlan Huckleby]

this game is gonna go back and forth, evenly matched

[Fosco33]

Truck lanes by design on 3rd down? Good lord

[ThunderDan]

Savage made a good tackle, but Reed forced the rb outside.

[sharpe1027]

Nice play Savage

[beveaux1]

Great play by Savage

[Guiness]

pick the bastard up and t-bone suplex his ass quay

set the tone!!


Damn you been getting counseled by JH?

Joking aside, I worry about Walker's temper. I've seen him go off and cost the team yards a couple of times for extra-curricular activities after the whistle.

[red]

missed

[beveaux1]

Hard to kick in 20 degree weather.

[Guiness]

nice tackle by Savage, second good play tonight. If he came on that would be huge in the playoffs

[Guiness]

missed

tipped? looked like it changed direction, and I haven't started on the rye yet so I'm still seeing straight

[RashanGary]

Joking aside, I worry about Walker's temper. I've seen him go off and cost the team yards a couple of times for extra-curricular activities after the whistle.

Not worried at all. Quay is a baller.

[red]

Joking aside, I worry about Walker's temper. I've seen him go off and cost the team yards a couple of times for extra-curricular activities after the whistle.

no way, i'll take bat shit crazy all day at ILB

[RashanGary]

Tonyan is moving a lot better. Big run for him?

[ThunderDan]

Tom in at RT.

[red]

nijman benched for tom

[red]

why did tonyan stop running?

its like he caught the ball then stopped and waited for the contact

[ThunderDan]

You can’t stop and change directions Tonyan.

[Teamcheez1]

Just punt

[red]

4th and 1

POUND THE FUCKING BALL UP THE MIDDLE

[red]

there

still question the lineup

[ThunderDan]

Hey hey. An inside run on 4th and 1.

[beveaux1]

inside run. first down.

[MadtownPacker]

What should’ve been happening for a long time.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

4th and 1

POUND THE FUCKING BALL UP THE MIDDLE

That sounds sexual.

[sharpe1027]

Going for it is the only right call. Don't gain much field position by punting.

[red]

shit

[ThunderDan]

Really good run to the left behind the worthless run blockers Bacteria and Jenkins.

[RashanGary]

Damn, Jones fumbles again. I guess you live with that, as good as he is.

[beveaux1]

Jones fumbles the rock.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

And Jones poop out another rock.

[ThunderDan]

Shit, that hurts. Could have been up 9.

[Teamcheez1]

It’s very tempting to turn this game off.

[smuggler]

Looks like Tonyan touches it with his foot OoB...

[ThunderDan]

Looks like Tonyan touches it with his foot OoB...

Please be right.

[George Cumby]

Had to charge my laptop.

I really like Dan Campbell.

Dude looks, acts and talks like a Company Commander from the First Marine Division.

Unlike the metrosexual we have as a head coach.

[MadtownPacker]

It’s very tempting to turn this game off.Quit fucking lying you’re gonna watch the whole thing and the post game.

[pittstang5]

Sloppy play - play calling is fuckin horrible

[ThunderDan]

Douglas pick 6. Please

[KYPack]

Savage found a job he can do right

[pittstang5]

Tackle in bounds!

[red]

Savage found a job he can do right

barely

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[ThunderDan]

Good stick by Amos on 11. Looked like he was limping a little bit.

[RashanGary]

That hit by Amos!!! Made that mf pay for that catch!!! We need a few more big hits. Make it miserable for them.

[MadtownPacker]

Was the hit good enough Red you sick fuk?

[beveaux1]

Their offense looks better than ours.

[pittstang5]

typical 2 min defense......MFers!!!!

[red]

Was the hit good enough Red you sick fuk?

he could have picked him up some and dropped him on his head more

but it was decent

[ThunderDan]

Their offense looks better than ours.

Their offense is better than ours.

but our coach never has 1 single hair out of place

and women would kill for his perfect eyebrows

[George Cumby]

but our coach never has 1 single hair out of place

and women would kill for his perfect eyebrows

Fucking exactly.

[red]

what the fuck was douglas doing there?

[beveaux1]

I think we're trying to lose.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jones needs to stop rock excreting!

[ThunderDan]

That was the dumbest penalty ever. Why even put yourself in that position.

[pittstang5]

WTF Rasul....WTF!

[Teamcheez1]

This game is complete garbage. Neither of these teams belong in the playoffs.

[Sparkey]

Not for touching the ball. He turned and shoved the lineman in the face afterwards.

[pittstang5]

That was the dumbest penalty ever. Why even put yourself in that position.

Exactly! Dumbass move in a tight game.

[pittstang5]

MLF is channeling his inner McCarthy. Stop with the "cute" plays in short yardage situations.

[RashanGary]

he could have picked him up some and dropped him on his head more

but it was decent

:lol: for sure!!

[RashanGary]

Sims and dungy just can’t wait to change the subject from the nerd. They’re like, whatever dude.

[RashanGary]

That girls green pants really draw the eyes to her vagina!

[beveaux1]

I can't believe we have a 38% chance to beat the 9'ers. Has the stat guy watched us this season?

[Sparkey]

2nd half, need a stop on Detroit's 1st possession and then get a TD.

[Rutnstrut]

That girls green pants really draw the eyes to her vagina!

I'm glad it wasn't just me thinking that. But I'm shocked Red wasn't the one that brought it up.

[ThunderDan]

3 and out.

[beveaux1]

Nixon gets 10 on a punt return and we think it's a bad return. What a difference from the past 3 years.

[red]

I can't believe we have a 38% chance to beat the 9'ers. Has the stat guy watched us this season?

i think they're trying to bring in a new demographic to football



https://waitingfornextyear.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/m8qnbZt.jpg

[ThunderDan]

Great run by Jones.

[red]

so

we need to draft a RT next year

[Fosco33]

Need a TD. They’ve been elusive for us vs Lions

[red]

lucky

another shit throw, threw it way behind him

[red]

hit doubs in the hands in stride

[ThunderDan]

so

we need to draft a RT next year

Let Tom gain some weight and our drug using 3rd rounder a chance to play.

[red]

Let Tom gain some weight and our drug using 3rd rounder a chance to play.

we got good drugs for linemen

[beveaux1]

I knew that was outside his range

[red]

we are not a playoff caliber team

[beveaux1]

I was yelling for us to go for it on 4th down.

[Rutnstrut]

we are not a playoff caliber team


Not even close, and a lot of that is on the QB.

[Fosco33]

Not sure about that long fga. His long felt like 49. Can’t believe the underthrows and the drops.

Right now don’t deserve the playoffs.

Def has to go make something big happen.

[beveaux1]

we are not a playoff caliber team

Nope. We wouldn't be if they hadn't added a 7th playoff team.

[red]

I was yelling for us to go for it on 4th down.

we only go for it if we are deep in our own territory

[red]

holy shit

[red]

and just like that

we are losing

[ThunderDan]

If we can’t score a TD tonight, we don’t deserve to win.

[Guiness]

Did not like that decision to attempt the FG
