Can I at least hold on to my wiener?

I thought you had someone else to do that for you now.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Why weep or slumber America
Land of brave and true
With castles and clothing and food for all
All belongs to you

Ev'ry man a king, ev'ry man a king
For you can be a millionaire
If there's something belonging to others
There's enough for all people to share

When it's sunny June and December too
Or in the winter time or spring
There'll be peace without end
Ev'ry neighbor a friend
With ev'ry man a king

Thanksgiving day looks to me like it'll be the toughest game of the year for the Pack. I don't think any defensive frontline is close to as physical as the Lions. That's going to be a great test.

[Joemailman]

Surprisingly though, teams have been able to run the ball a bit against them. Lions are giving up 115 rushing YPG with a 4.8 YPC. They apparently toughen up inside the 10 though as they have given up just 1 rushing TD. Lions are doing a good job of forcing teams to settle for field goals, so red zone efficiency would be a key against them.

you a betting man?

The packers may be a slight favorite, we'll see. Its going to be awfully loud when packers have ball, I expect Packers will be going on silent count, don't count on your 10 offsides. The Bears were victims of most of the presnap penalties last night.

I'm not a money betting man.

I'm sure the offense will work with and know the silent count. I still won't be surprised to see them try to bait that D into jumping. 10 was just hyperbole for how jumpy those linemen are and the fact that the Packers O will probably look to take advantage of that.

You can be sure M3 will be looking to take advantage of that aggression. Screens. Cobb. Etc.

I think Finley and Starks/Grant will have a great receiving day. I doubt we will destroy this team, but we should win putting the kitty's in their place. So long as our Oline plays at their peak we will be fine. Buluga will be back, right guys?

Um, dudes, Blue Dog just quoted an excellent Randy Newman lyric. I mean, I care about the Lions game and all, but respect should be paid when a poster goes outside the norm and brings in a little art.

Not that I think Blue Dog is anything but a louche dissipate, but given that, let's offer some praise when the blind squirrel finds a nut!

I wondered what that picture was.

I'm still wondering.
