    The Official Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Game thread

    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

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

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

        Better wear my #4 jersey today.8

            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?

              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.

                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

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

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

                      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.

                          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.

                            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.

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