The Official Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Game thread

[Bretsky]

Here we are at the end of a wonderful season gearing up to go to the playoffs. Before the season and after witnessing our lack of involvement in free agency I often used the phrase "8-8 would be really great". To say the Packers have exceeded any expectations I have would be an understatement. The only thing that stood in our way of having home field advantage throughout the playoffs were those despised Chicago Bears.

What a great year, and now we finish the season at home against the Detroit Lions. At full strength it appears we would crush this team. As is it looks like Woodson is taking the day off and possibly Jennings as well. Several starters sound like they will only see limited action.

Today we border along the line of wanting to play well and go into the post season with momentum against making sure that we don't have any serious injuries that would hurt us in the playoffs.

Ah, who would have thunk it; what a nice problem to have.

As I get ready to make my trip to Lambeau Field to witness the finale of a great season, I can sit back and reflect on this one as being one of the most enjoyable seasons I have witnessed.

Here's to hoping we have more memories this year :glug:

I'm off to pack the car; I hope this game thread provides us the push to go all the way in the playoffs


B

[Tarlam!]

You better be winning us the Super Bowl, B. :P

[Guiness]

The thread has arrived. Long live the thread.

Good luck to ya B, to take this one right on through 8-)

[Fritz]

Gosh dang it! Why can't they stop the run? Duckett's just tearing right through the middle! *#34%%&(*!

Oh, wait. The game hasn't started yet.

Better wear my #4 jersey today.8

[Tarlam!]

OK, nobody better mess wid da MoJo. Bretsky is taking us on a 4 game winning streak......

B, you are, aren't you?.

[CaptainKickass]

Can't believe we're at this point.

I'm hoping to see Tramon Williams and Will Blackmon allowed to actually play man coverage for most of the game if Woodson is sitting today.

The big question is:

Are we going to see Aaron Rodgers or Craig Nall get more time with the starters?

[MJZiggy]

May Bretsky be responsible for starting the first game thread next season! Go Bretsky, Go Bretsky!!

Damn, what a season. I love it!! It will be great to see some of the kids get a little game action. Let's see what they can do.

[GBRulz]

My brother and some friends just left my place on their way to the game. After trying for like two months to get tickets for him (before Detroit actually looked like the lame ass Lions they are)...today, people are practically giving tix away. Anyhow, to those that are going, have a great time and B, take us to the SB, will ya? tar was supposed to do that but there is this team called the Bears that def were the thorn in our side this year !!!

The weather today is cold, (about 12 right now) but not snowy or windy. This is the kind of weather that we can probably expect come playoff time. Then again, anything is possible in WI...except a temp above 35 in Jan :wink:

[MadtownPacker]

They need to stomp on the lions no matter who is sitting.

[esoxx]

Not a good move, imo, to approach this as a quasi-preseason game. Nothing like a two game losing streak going into the playoffs. :x

[MJZiggy]

Who says we're gonna lose it? You don't think Driver, JJ, Martin and Robinson can spread the offense without Jennings? I'm curious to see how the younger players do vs. the Lion wideouts. Can they contain them? Have they been learning from their elders? Maybe they're just waiting for the chance to step up and be game changers.

[SD GB fan]

heard that driver, jennings, kampman, and woodson are among the inactives

[esoxx]

Of course Driver, Favre, etc... will put out as usual. But how will they be able to put out sitting on the bench in the 3rd quarter. I don't have a problem sitting guys that are dinged or whatever, but if they pull starters with the game in doubt (see preseason game approach) then I'm going to have a problem with it.
And who's JJ? Haven't heard from him in 3-4 games.

[GBRulz]

M3 just got "coach of the year" for the Terry Awards.

Terry mentioned that this was his choice because he has done the most with the least.

[esoxx]

Gawd I'd be pissed if I paid money to see this game in person. Especially at the prices the ticket brokers were charging.

[GBRulz]

The Mr. Remarkable Award from Terry went to #4.

:lol:

[Kiwon]

Why is Driver inactive today?

[Fosco33]

Today's inactives for GB:

Driver
Jennings
Lee
Korey Hall
Kampman
Pickett
Woodson

[Fosco33]

Why is Driver inactive today?

Meaningless game....

[Rastak]

Why is Driver inactive today?

Meaningless game....


Then why start Favre?

[esoxx]

Why is Driver inactive today?

Meaningless game....

Then why is Favre, Grant, Clifton, Barnett, Hawk, etc... even playing? This pick and choose of who should sit and who should play is weak. Line up and play the game straight up.
The 70,000 fans who paid big $$$ for tix probably don't think it's meaningless. Or else they are fools.

[GBRulz]

I guess I don't agree with not playing all those starters. I can see Woodson and Jennings, who are a little banged up, but not the rest. These guys need to play in the cold and get some play time.

Reminds me of, I think two years ago when the Colts rested alot of their starters the last couple of games and came out flat in the playoffs.

[CaliforniaCheez]

A lot of players out.

McCarthy is screwing up and will have to learn from his mistakes on handling success.

Players huddling around the heater instead of moving stretching and keeping warm is a bad sign.

The Packers are acting like losers and I do not like it.

McCarthy thinks they can pick up in the playoffs after a month without much success.

[Rastak]

Why is Driver inactive today?

Meaningless game....

Then why is Favre, Grant, Clifton, Barnett, Hawk, etc... even playing? This pick and choose of who should sit and who should play is weak. Line up and play the game straight up.

It is smart to rest guys with marginal injuries.

[GBRulz]

nice ST coverage

[gbgary]

lol...crosby can do it all.

[CaliforniaCheez]

The Packers aren't trying.

[GBRulz]

their kicker is the captain??

[gbgary]

held them to a field goal...that's cool.

[GrnBay007]

well, time to see if the offense looks better than last week. Wait....could they look worse? :shock:

[Rastak]

their kicker is the captain??


I would guess special teams captain. He kinda deserves it, he's a helluva kicker.

[Tarlam!]

OK. Brett, take a snap, take a knee and go warm the bench....

[gbgary]

should have kept going outside

[GBRulz]

their kicker is the captain??


I would guess special teams captain. He kinda deserves it, he's a helluva kicker.

I didn't know there could be multiple captains on the team. I just noticed the "C" on his uni.

Yes, he's a helluva kicker. Hope he's enjoying his Jerry Jones loot lined pockets from last month. :x

[GBRulz]

hehe...how long has it been since we've seen Favre run like that

[gbgary]

brett's taken two hard shots already

[gbgary]

good bye...grant td

[GBRulz]

awesome run by Grant!!!

[Rastak]

Boy he has some nice moves.

[Freak Out]

Did the coach say how long Favre would play today?

[GrnBay007]

That was pretty!!!! :D

[Lurker64]

Did the coach say how long Favre would play today?

Likely longer than any of us want him to, but not as long as Brett would like to play.

[gbgary]

Boy he has some nice moves.

yes.....he's really a good back.

[Tarlam!]

brett's taken two hard shots already

Yeah. Seeing him shake it off was NOT funny.

I hope he knows what he's doing being out there.

[Tarlam!]

That was pretty!!!! :D

Hearing you say that makes me feel all Bretsky-like!

[Lurker64]

Doh.

[gbgary]

those guys were avoiding the kick when they should have just caught it. lol

[GrnBay007]

That was pretty!!!! :D

Hearing you say that makes me feel all Bretsky-like!


LOL perv II :P

[gbgary]

That was pretty!!!! :D

Hearing you say that makes me feel all Bretsky-like!

you could hear it?

[Rastak]

Nice catch Calvin.....I thought he was supposed to be good.

[Tarlam!]

Grant T-74 and counting....

Perv II?

Yes I could hear it - Seven and I are "connected"... 8-)

[Rastak]

That was pretty!!!! :D

Hearing you say that makes me feel all Bretsky-like!

you could hear it?


Good point, where are you exactly Tarlam!?

[Lurker64]

Nice catch Calvin.....I thought he was supposed to be good.

He's been injured a lot this year, and he's dealing with the depression that comes from being drafted as a WR by Detroit in the first round. Cut the guy some slack...

[GrnBay007]

geez, I forgot to make my score prediction this week. 31-17.

[Tarlam!]

Home, Ras. At least this is home for 6 more months. Prolly moving to Zurich in the summer. Job offer from a chemical co based in St. Paul. Ring any bells?

[Rastak]

Home, Ras. At least this is home for 6 more months. Prolly moving to Zurich in the summer. Job offer from a chemical co based in St. Paul. Ring any bells?


Must have 3 "m"'s in the name.


:D

[Tarlam!]

Nope. EL...

[Rastak]

Nope. EL...


Hmmm, drawing a blank....sounds like a cool idea moving to Swiss land.

[Tarlam!]

Anyways, if I take it, I'll be drinking in Minnie at least 4 times a year! You in?

[Fosco33]

I say as soon as Brett and company look 'sharp' they should get them out of there for a few obvious reasons. But I also like seeing the backups and possible players emerge with PT.

I've also liked some of the calls so far - give teams some film of random stuff all day - like that end around and onside attempt so far.

[Rastak]

Anyways, if I take it, I'll be drinking in Minnie at least 4 times a year! You in?


You got it.

[gbgary]

dang........thought he was gone again

[Tarlam!]

Grant T-45, but hurt...

[GrnBay007]

wow, good to see Bubba producing!!

[Rastak]

Grant T-45, but hurt...


He was in some serious pain.....I didn't see what happened.

[Lurker64]

Good to see Bubba shaking off the rust.

[Fosco33]

Well - I initially thought of keeping Brett in for one series and Grant in for most of the game (keep time of possession, clock moving drives). With that freak hit on Grant - I say pull 'em regardless. 1000 yard season is meaningless if you can't play in the big games.

[GBRulz]

Martin should have kept at full speed, would have been a TD

[gbgary]

Grant's ok...stinger.

[Freak Out]

Grant's ok...stinger.

Big sigh of relief.....

[GrnBay007]

JJ!!! :clap:

[Lurker64]

I'm liking the aggressiveness we've seen from both Robinson and Jones fighting for yards downfield this drive.

[GBRulz]

awesome to see Koren get a TD !!

[GrnBay007]

woohooo!!!!

Favre looks happier today lol

[Fosco33]

You could see how much Brett wanted to get KRob a TD. That's just awesome!

[gbgary]

detroit mailed it in weeks ago. this is practice.

[GBRulz]

god, I love our receivers!!

[Tarlam!]

Grant's ok...stinger.

Big sigh of relief.....

Er, return doubtful. I want my 1000 yard rusher....

[Lurker64]

Grant's ok...stinger.

Big sigh of relief.....

Er, return doubtful. I want my 1000 yard rusher....

I thought they said Questionable. Stingers are a funny thing. Sometimes they go away in minutes, sometimes they take a few hours. When he feels better he'll play, and we don't really need to put him in with a numb arm.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Crosby needs 6 more points for leading scorer in the NFL.

[Lurker64]

Crosby needs 6 more points for leading scorer in the NFL.

I guess we just need to score six more touchdowns today, then.

[woodbuck27]

Just getting on the game.

Great start to a BiIG day. :)

I want to see our 'D' pick it up a lot. The 'D' has been averaging 23 Pts. against since our shutout win over the vikings. That's not performance. I can still see the look on Favre's face when we last played the Lions and in the second half started to play really soft defenseively.

I hope we don't see that look again today. We have to build today on 'D' or we're as good as one and out in the playoff's.

PACKERS FOREVER!

[mmmdk]

K-Rob

[GrnBay007]

Crosby needs 6 more points for leading scorer in the NFL.

I guess we just need to score six more touchdowns today, then.

:glug:

[Fosco33]

Still just giving teams nothing to scout from - the tendencies and computer models will have to be tweaked for this game.

Love it. 8-)

[mmmdk]

BJ not that BJ :lol:

[Lurker64]

Jackson's not bad in space, he's not good in traffic, but he's not bad in space. These last couple plays are the first positive things I've seen out if him in weeks.

[Partial]

How did we get the ball back!?!? Tarlam, I am at work today and the Pack is playing well :lol: Out of the 4 or 5 games I watched live, they have lost 3 of them! :shock:

[Fosco33]

Do you think Lions starters can score 21 points against anyone - including a patchwork Packer backups? I don't.

[CaliforniaCheez]

BJ not that BJ :lol:
There's my Sander.

[GrnBay007]

How did we get the ball back!?!? Tarlam, I am at work today and the Pack is playing well :lol: Out of the 4 or 5 games I watched live, they have lost 3 of them! :shock:

You better be working during the playoffs :wink:

Bigby picked off Kitna

[Tarlam!]

I got bad news for everyone. I am wearing my #4 away jersey that I bought at Lambeau at "The Gathering".

[woodbuck27]

K-Rob

Was he just added to the long list of receivers of Favre TD pass's?

[gbgary]

How did we get the ball back!?!?

atari int

[GBRulz]

ok time to sit Favre.

[Lurker64]

Five more to go for Crosby...

[gbgary]

lol..........Brett doing the jump and giving the ref five

[woodbuck27]

I got bad news for everyone. I am wearing my #4 away jersey that I bought at Lambeau at "The Gathering".

You could be wearing a Lions jersey and 'the Pack' still rings this one up.

It's a LOCK!

[Freak Out]

Keep that mojo workin!

[GrnBay007]

Bubbaaaa!!!!!!!!! :clap:

[Partial]

how did they score?!? Did favre sneak it in?

[CaliforniaCheez]

ok time to sit Favre.

Brett needs 2 more TD passes to hit 30 on the year and extend that record.

[Tarlam!]

I've seen enough. Favre needs to be benched. He really sucks. Nall needs to go.

[GBRulz]

I got bad news for everyone. I am wearing my #4 away jersey that I bought at Lambeau at "The Gathering".

it's ok. Secretly, Woody is sitting at home in his TT Oilers jersey :lol:

[Tarlam!]

Bigby picked off Kitna

Partial, doing his job. I love that sought of fan commitment! D, you know where you'll be hanging on SB Sunday, right?

[ny10804]

That ref-five would probably garner a fine for any other player.

[woodbuck27]

I'm feeling:

#4 getting 4 for 30 TD's on the season.

[GrnBay007]

LOL that was funny with Brett and the ref!!

[Lurker64]

How's Rodgers's hamstring?

[woodbuck27]

I got bad news for everyone. I am wearing my #4 away jersey that I bought at Lambeau at "The Gathering".

it's ok. Secretly, Woody is sitting at home in his TT Oilers jersey :lol:

Yea.

I'm just funnin' with Packerrats. I'm a huge TT supporter. :)

[woodbuck27]

How's Rodgers's hamstring?

Who cares?

[gbgary]

How's Rodgers's hamstring?

like rodgers.........tender

[Lurker64]

How's Rodgers's hamstring?

Who cares?

If he can't play, I'm not sure I don't want another score before I hand the keys to Nall.

[ny10804]

Is Barnett "hurt" ? (Bishop is in)

[Tarlam!]

it's ok. Secretly, ?? is sitting at home in his TT Oilers jersey :lol:

Somebody has a TT jersey? Now, that has me extremely jealous.

[woodbuck27]

The Lions have some Roooaaarrrrr still in em.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Too much substitution too early.

[Fosco33]

Nope. EL...


Hmmm, drawing a blank....sounds like a cool idea moving to Swiss land.

Drawing a blank :lol: :lol:

[GrnBay007]

Another Pick!!!

[GBRulz]

woo hoo

[Fosco33]

Did Williams get too excited on his first INT - because he had a sure 7 if he would've waited for the block by Jenkins on Kitna?

[GBRulz]

Nall has the most beautiful eyes

[Lurker64]

Our offense was better with that other guy in...

[gbgary]

the crown cheered the punt........that's brutal. lol

[GrnBay007]

Our offense was better with that other guy in...

I'm bummed

[Tarlam!]

Our offense was better with that other guy in...

I'm bummed

Er.

[ny10804]

Craig Nall is like Brett Favre times 4. Brett Favre's number, that is.

[Lurker64]

Are we going to be stuck with 2 hours of:
Incomplete pass, -1 to 3 yard run, Incomplete Pass, Punt.
->
Incomplete pass, Incomplete Pass, Incomplete Pass, Punt.
etc.

from here on out?

[gbgary]

it's gonna be 3-and-out the rest of the way, for both teams. think i'll go scrape some paint. lol

[Rastak]

Are we going to be stuck with 2 hours of:

Most likely.

[Lurker64]

Nallball is not all it was cracked up to be.

[CaliforniaCheez]

I've never liked Morency.

It should dawn on someone next year that the Packers do not need him.

[GBRulz]

nice play by Harrell

[Fosco33]

Nallball is not all it was cracked up to be.

In '04 Nall played in 5 games for Green Bay. He completed 23 of 33 for 314 yards and 4 touchdowns, with no interceptions, and a passer rating of 139.4

I expect more than 3 and out.

[GBRulz]

I've never liked Morency.

It should dawn on someone next year that the Packers do not need him.

I second that

[CaliforniaCheez]

Nallball is not all it was cracked up to be.

I wanted Brett to get his 30 TD's. He could have done it by now.

[gbgary]

Nallball is not all it was cracked up to be.

was it ever cracked up? it cracks me up. :D

[Rastak]

Nice catch by Johnson, maybe he is good. :wink:


Nice play by Bush on the end around.

[Lurker64]

We don't need to let them score points so that this actually becomes a game. Get your head in the game Collins...

[Packers4Glory]

I'm sorry, but Grant looks really really good running the ball. I don't think we need to go out and draft anyone early next yr. JMO

[GBRulz]

our first 4 picks should all be in the secondary. which means we'll pick a WR :lol:

[GBRulz]

ha, did you see the Lion fan holding up a sign that said "FIRE MILLEN" ! how quickly the camera panned away from that.

I'm sure there are at least a couple dozen "Keep Millen" signs there. Shortly, we'll be seeing the "Keep Childress" signs, too :wink:

[gbgary]

ok......where's the kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhne cheer from the crowd? that's just wrong.

[Packers4Glory]

lets just pray we don't get Grant hurt this game. lets break another long one and sit down.

[Packers4Glory]

and............there it is..he gets hurt.

[Fritz]

The announcers are treating this like a meaningless game...so they are not giving injury updates. What happened to Grant? How bad is he hurt? What about Blackmon? The TV guys aren't saying sh_t about any of it. What's being said on the radio in Green Bay?

[Rastak]

and............there it is..he gets hurt.


I'm guessing you are WAY behind the live broadcast, that happened a long time ago.

[gbgary]

17-14 bears

Did I miss something or did he get hurt again? I figured he was out for the day.

[gbgary]

and............there it is..he gets hurt.


I'm guessing you are WAY behind the live broadcast, that happened a long time ago.

yeah.........it's half time.

[gbgary]

saints give up another td......geesh

[mmmdk]

Can Nall lead the O to any points in the 2nd half? If Lions want it; they can take as it's mainly Packer subs now! Damnit, winning breeds winning!

C'mon Packers! :pack:

[GrnBay007]

Unless we just start yacking, this will be the shortest game thread all season.

[Pacopete4]

they said he has a "stinger" or a "burner".. either way its nothing long term, he'l be fine..

[Harlan Huckleby]

Starters? We don't need no stinkin starters.

I totally agree with McCarthy's approach.

Sounds like Grant is OK, too bad he falls short of 1000 yards for the season, but he's too valuable to play today.
I'm more concerned about Blackmon's foot injury, its the same one he broke.

[Fritz]

What about Blackmon?

And can Nall throw a ball longer than a screen pass NOT into the ground? WTF?

[CaliforniaCheez]

Spitz hamsting

Grant Stinger (like Favre's elbow thing)

Blackmon hurt that foot AGAIN unknown how bad.

All out the rest of the day.

How many injuries would you be willing to pay to get a victory today?

[GrnBay007]

And Brett missed his 30 TD's for the season by 2.

lol nothing at all yet today. Snacks are coming out of the oven in a few min. :D I don't cook on game day lol

I still have that avatar around here somewhere, but it seems to creep out the boys...

[GrnBay007]

Nice run by Jackson!

[Pacopete4]

nalls just heatin up.. hasnt played in awhile but i think he'l show us he is a very capable backup for our team

[The Leaper]

I've been waiting for Jackson to show anything all year...he finally did.

[mmmdk]

Lions want it; they can take as it's mainly Packer subs now! Damnit, winning breeds winning!

How many injuries would you be willing to pay to get a victory today?

I think you read too much between the lines; I don't want starters. What I want is for the subs to take this game more seriously than was it a preseason game.

[The Leaper]

Crosby looking to wrap up the points title.

[Fosco33]

I'd bet there's a bit of posturing going on by the Packer's staff with regards to pulling starters and labeling injuries.

Everyone has injuries - most aren't listed if it's minor or a pre-existing injury.

They've got 2 full weeks to recover (many had about 3 including this past week). I'm not worried - especially because this game allows us to grow depth by playing backups.

[GrnBay007]

Crosby looking to wrap up the points title.

How many more does he need today?

Looks like I will have to be at Sears on the weekends for the next month or so. 12-0 after today :D

[Fosco33]

Where's the penalty on the hit to Williams' head by #97? Even the refs stopped caring about this game....

[Lurker64]

I can't believe Rouse dropped that.

[The Leaper]

Moss has 138 points scored.

Crosby now has 137 points scored. He is currently tied with Gostkowski (NE kicker) for most points as a kicker.

Graham (CIN) is at 126 thru 1 half.
Gould (CHI) is at 125 thru 1 half.
Folk is at 125 points...playing at 4pm
Bironas is at 123...playing at 4pm.

One more FG, and Crosby would likely wrap up the scoring title in 2007.

Spitz had an ice pack on his knee.

I believe the official word was "quad injury".

[The Leaper]

Our run defense looks pretty solid today considering Kampy and Pickett haven't played a snap.

[The Leaper]

smart play by Bigby to knock that ball down rather than let Johnson get another chance at it.

[mmmdk]

Does any non Packer kicker ever miss FGs at Lambeau?

[Fritz]

Riddle me this: the announcers just went on this tangent about how Mike Martz doesn't really fit what Marinelli is trying to do in Detroit, etc, etc, and maybe he'll be gone after the season (rumor in Detroit is that he's already gone). So...Marinelli frickin' hired Mike Martz, and it was no secret what Martz's offensive style was. So why does it take you two years to figure out his offensive style doesn't fit what you want to do? Duh.

God I love the Lions.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

So is Grant ok?

[CaliforniaCheez]

So is Grant ok?

He'll be fit for playoffs. Not unlike Brett at Dallas.

I forgot you are from Lion Land. Is there anything fun to do in Grand Rapids?

Fall guy.

[gbgary]

smart play by Bigby to knock that ball down rather than let Johnson get another chance at it.

Yep!

[Rastak]

Awesome punt!


72 yards......outstanding. I remember when Greg Coleman of the Vikes did something like that back in the early 80's. Not sure I've seen a 70 yard punt since then. (My memory sucks so who knows).

73 yard punt is something to remember.

Those puffy white Packer jackets are cool. I might have to go to the Pro Shop this week!

Bit of a lack of interest in this game, eh? This has to be the shortest game day thread I've ever seen here on PR.

What's up with DD? Did he not dress today? I don't see him in the boxscore. So, with Jennings not playing as well, who would be listed as the starters?

Wow - a 70 yarder...why was there no return? Did it go over the PR's head and he had to chase it or something?

Yea, he blasted it over the returners head. Lions almost touched the thing near the goal line too.

It was worth the review; I initially thought he touched...and maybe that Lion did :P

OK COACH!!

[Rastak]

There's that holding again. I really shouldn't watch the line play, this time it was a Green bay lineman with his shirt stretched like a tent.

do you like puffy shirts too?

Wow...The Lions suck against the Packers' backups...

[run pMc]

Is this a game for B.Jackson to build some confidence from for the playoffs and into next season?

[gbgary]

Is this a game for B.Jackson to build some confidence from for the playoffs and into next season?

maybe. the lions just want the game to end (like we did last week).

[Fritz]

I still think he dances too much. Though not as much as Tramon Williams on the returns. Just run the damn ball back up the gut, Tramon.

[Lurker64]

I kind of get the feeling that Jackson is auditioning for Morencey's job next year.

[motife]

they stain easily. if you like to eat hot dogs.

[motife]

GB's 5 wide receiver, no backfield sets reminds me of when, in a live game, Satchel Paige who was both pitcher and manager of his team, on third outs would send all the infield and outfield to the bench. Just Paige and the catcher remaining on the field.

"That's confidence," as Jerry Horne used to say.

[run pMc]

I've got B.Jackson's current stats at 20 rushes for 113 yds plus 2 catches for 22. Taking away the 46 yd run, the rest of the carries (19 for 67) comes out to about a 3.5 yd avg. With backups in there his blocking hasn't been the greatest, but he still dances too much.
The 3rd down back role seems to be his for the taking...Morency has had a few good plays this year, but otherwise hasn't shown much to make him a priority resigning.

[Fosco33]

Do you think Lions starters can score 21 points against anyone - including a patchwork Packer backups? I don't.
