But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
After a ten-minute delay in which his teeth are matched to the bite marks, Mark Tauscher is ejected for chewing on Ndamukong Suh's leg at the bottom of a pile early in the 2nd quarter. Play at right tackle improves from that point on.
Just before the half, Suh retaliates by ripping off Chad Clifton's leg and then uses it to beat Aaron Rodgers about his head. Suh is warned by the officials. Clifton's play also improves, as his kick-slide technique seems smoother with only one leg to drag around.
In the 3rd quarter Nick Collins reacts to taunts from Calvin Johnson by throwing various pieces of his uniform at the receiver, a tactic which ends up working remarkably well other than the distraction of finding out what Nick has tattooed on his left butt cheek.
In a mistake Mike McCarthy calls the "over-exuberance of youth", Clay Matthews picks up the Lion's quarterback, raises him over his head, and carries him over the goal-line on two separate occasions, inadvertently scoring Detroit's only two touchdowns.
Lions win 17-14.

Formally Numb, same person, same views of M3

That wasn't a nightmare. Stupid penalties, losing composure, bad luck, injured players, oblivious officiating, embarrassing decisions by coaches and players actually happened quite recently as you may recall.
I'm attempting to lull Karma into a premature sense of having screwed us over so that the game against the Lions can go on without another episode of the Twilight Zone taking over my screen as I try to watch a Packer game.

I am not underestimating these Lions. They can play. They should have beaten Chicago.
+1
How long do we have to watch football before the "any given Sunday" lesson kicks in?
We'll win thanks to A-Rod, but it will be another fricking war as in the Eagles game.

I predict that the Packers will play a sorry-ass first half, and leave the field at halftime to a chorus of boos. It will be an ugly, low-scoring affair - like say 10-7 at the half, something like that.
The Pack will play better in the second half and win, but few will be eased of their suspicions regarding this team's ability to play at a high level.
Just what I'm feeling.
"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
Was that the Lindy Infante and Tony Mandarich revenge game?

The Lions are a better team, but we are much better and we match up perfectly against them. Expect a lot of slants and other quick passes to take advantage of the Lions secondary. We have a good run defense and the only real threat other than that is Johnson.
After Monday's debacle I think the fellas will atone for that performance with a solid if unspectacular game today. Frankly I don't care what the score is as long as we have more points when the clock reads 00:00 at the end of the 4th. You don't get style points in the NFL like you do in the NCAA.
