    Titus Young was a well-known character risk when the Leos drafted him, but they took that risk. Doh!

    I believe his failure with the team, combined with the numerous off-season arrests of others on the team, caused Martin Mayhew to pass on Janoris Jenkins, who plays a position in which the Lions have only one real player (cornerback).

    This could be a low-scoring, ugly game.

    I just hope MM and Rodgers are patient. I wish Rodgers would quit passing up wide-open pass receivers.

      That said, the Lions are better than their record indicates. They lost their last few games by an average of less than 6 points. Would be a mistake to underestimate the Lions.

      Btw, Lions put Titus Young on IR. Somewhere some Lion fan is venting on an internet forum that they shoulda drafted Cobb instead of Young.
      The Lions were worse than their record indicated last year. They won many close games in come-from-behind fashion last year and they now seem to be losing those. Teams are essentially triple covering Megatron in endgame situations when they know that Stafford will look to him. Without the bomb to Megatron plays in those situations, Stafford is having a hard time being as effective.

        That sort of seems to be who they are now, with all of the injuries. Hopefully they've accepted that because they are able to win those games. It wasn't so long ago that they "couldn't win close games". They've become quite adept at it. Rodgers has even already matched his season high for 4th Q comebacks (2). There's a good chance he sets a new mark there this year.

          Packers lost their games by 8, 2, and 3 before the Giants game. Guess the Packers are better than their record too.

            Slug fest in the beginning.

            Packers gain control and cover the spread.

              #Packers practice report: Charles Woodson and Shields back limited. Grant practiced. No Matthews, Nelson, Lang, Wilson, Neal or Starks

              D line is going to be short a body or two. No rest for Worthy and Daniels.

              In other news, Johnny White went to IR not Starks. He'll be back just in time to tease us again.

                I'm starting to wonder about CM3. Is his injury worse than they're letting on or are the Packers just being extra cautious since they've been winning?

                It's interesting that Urlacher got injured and a definite prognosis (Grade 2 Hammy) and timeline were put forth. With Matthews it was "Hamstring" and "a couple of weeks".

                  M3 not sure about Lang but doesn't like what he learned about Neal's shoulder. Good grief.'

                  "I don't feel real good" about what he learned today about Neal's shoulder. Will know more tomorrow.

                  Lang ... MM doesn't have feeling one way or the other. Not progressing like Lang would want.

                        Neal doubtful for Sunday.
                        Lang and Terrell Manning questionable.
                        Driver, Saturday and Shields are probable.

                          Neal is not in danger of needing to go on IR, injury was NOT what they feared earlier in week. But highly unlikely he will play this week..

                          Also, the reporters have reached a consensus that both Mathews and Wood will be back for the Bears.

                          Shields will play this week. That's a pretty good group of corners.

                            I am relieved about Neal. My guess is he will return in 2 weeks. Whew. Running out of bodies.

                            Will Grant or Harris be active? Can Harris play special teams?

                              It will be interesting how much, if at all, Shields will play. I think Hayward has the nickel spot locked down. Do you put Shields in over House? If not, then it would come down to dime defense. Do you take a safety off the field?
