Campbell, I think, can play D line.

Williams was OK under center but the broadcasts do so little replay hard to say.

Several throws for TDs should have been for shorter completions and first downs. The last one to Jacobs as an example even if he should have caught it.

The Defense held up it end of the bargain.

The intentional grounding was ludicrous in light of what they let Goff get away with on a previous play.

Packers offense still in neutral without big plays and the Lions played a lot of 2 deep to prevent it.

Hoping to see Banks and Zeitler at Guard soon.

In retrospect, having Zeitler on the inactive list and Williams available might have saved Love's health. Not sure there are others who have snapped on offense this year except Burton.

[Joemailman]

MLF said Rhyan and Monk are expected to be out Thursday. So it will be Williams or Burton at Center.

After the game, Josh Jacobs said he apologized to his team for dropping Jordan Love’s TD pass on third-and-5 with 3:30 left. Big turn in the loss. “That’s a play I’ve got to make. So I said, ‘If you want to blame anybody, put it on me.’”

So I honestly think the officials are punishing MiLF for complaining now (cuz he's been right). He was pretty animated about Goff grounding that play so the officials turned around and said "fine, you think it's grounding we'll call it". Except we had a receiver in the zip code of the throw.

Plenty of blame to go around: OBVIOUSLY incompetent if not downright crooked officiating on at least half a dozen plays; Also horribly flawed kicking - zero excuse for that on carpet and no wind; inexplicable drops - I don't think Love throws a ball that is somehow hard to catch. Chronic poor O Line blocking, both on runs and passes;

My candidate for the most blame, though, is LaFleur. I hate his playcalling the great majority of the time. In addition, there is the decision to go for it on 4th down instead of settling for a FG. I also hate it that he failed to call out the God damned officials in his postgame interview - "it is what it is" sheeeesh, just tell it like it is instead of being afraid to get fined.

The Packers could be looking at another shuffle up front. Center Sean Rhyan is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Lions, according to NFL Media. X-rays were negative, with an MRI scheduled for today to determine the extent of the injury. A high-ankle sprain can mean a four-to-six-week absence, though Rhyan’s timetable remains uncertain pending further evaluation.

Totally seems like a lost season, a lost team, at this point.

Years ago we blamed a Packer trainer for all the injuries - Mike something or other. Did they rehire him?

Team has a bad, bad offensive line - so bad even Tex remarked on it. Penalties nearly literally by the dozen. Drops galore.

This is an ugly team, an ugly season. If you do decide to part ways with The Flower at season's end, do you think that Guter has to go, too?

I'm not this negative to be honest. We went into detroit, faced the refs and the Lions and still almost won the game. The problem is that we are now last in our division which makes the playoff push a difficult road. But the team looks a world better than it did a month ago and if they ever figure out that Zeitler should be playing.....But I'm sure Stenavich knows exactly what he is doing. Its just that no one else does.

[Joemailman]

If they can get Banks and Zeitler in there at Guard, I think the season is still salvageable. Jacobs I thought looked better as the game wore on. If you get some semblance of a running game, that improves both the 3rd down offense and red zone offense. Of course, they still need fewer drops and more made kicks. The defense is keeping them in every game. They are where they usually are, occupying the last playoff spot. Not all is lost.

Wyatt gets flagged for tackling a runner that is still trying to run when no whistle was blown (that anyone heard). Officials told MiLF that "the play was obviously dead".

Goff is being sacked and throws it into no mans land. Closest guy is easily 15 yards away. No flag. Next drive Love is in same spot and throws it at Kraft? who is covered but within probably 6-7 yards. Grounding.

2 roughing the passers that the network announcers and a former ref called "very weak".

Branch spears Kraft in the face as he's basically down and blasts his helmet off. In college he's gone for targeting, no question. Here, no flag. Will be interested if he gets a fine for that one.

Thats right off the top of my head. I can edit and add later if I remember more, because I think there was actually more. Those were the egregious ones.

Edit 1: Golden flexes at crowd. 15 yards and 11k fine. St. Brown dances and points at packers after offsides penalty for about 30 seconds straight. Not taunting.

Cisse's INT overturned after St. Brown initiates contact 5 yards downfield.

[Patler]

Apparently, the difference between Goff's non-grounding call and Love's grounding call is that Love's throw didn't reach the line of scrimmage. In that situation, the intended receiver has to be much closer to the throw.

I can accept that (though I have not yet seen Goff's throw).
