Official Packers vs. Lions Gameday Thread

Hey, we almost looked like a strong defense for two plays in a row

OK

THIRD DOWN

Here are where successes and failures are made on defense.

Let's go Pack!

failure. our d is a big fat failure

[ThunderDan]

OK, horrible first half. Only down 4 and we get the ball to start the 3rd q.

[Teamcheez1]

No point in MM taking the timeouts. We haven't stopped them on 3rd down yet.

[Upnorth]

What a poor showing in the first half. Lucky break on d keeps us in this though. Hopefully MM makes good adjustments and we get hot on O

[pittstang5]

Another ugly half - not much faith in this defense tonight. Oh well.

[VegasPackFan]

I think we had the ball all of about 8 minutes that whole half. So now the damn Lions are pushing us around at home in the snow. There better be some serious adjustments at half.

[ThunderDan]

we seem afraid on d no matter who we are playing

It's amazing that we are 8=4 with our O not playing well this year.

Who do you think is keeping us in this season? You are better than that Red. You're a Packer FAN!!!

Horseshit f'ckin prevent defense call

It was single coverage with a blitz. It was the reverse of prevent defense.

[Bretsky]

Think about that again. They lead the League in pass plays and are running more than half the time.

If M3 and Capers knew they would be in trouble with no Lang and only 4 lineman, this is EXACTLY what you would do to game the contest in their Packer favor.

We seem afraid to go downfield with the ball. I see what I see. All these quick screens to the WR's. We are afraid to take a chance in this weather. This offense looks lost right now. Once upon a time, we attacked and sent Finley down the middle of the seam while Jennings would go deep and Cobb or Nelson would go downfield as well. We had defenses on their heals. That seems lost.

[Teamcheez1]

Our offense scored 3 measly points against the Lions!

We would lose to most teams as poorly as the offense is playing. Couple that with the defense, and we are damn lucky to be down only 4.

[channtheman]

Disagree with those timeouts at the end. We have done nothing to show we can stop the Lions, all you do is risk a blown play on defense leading to a Lion score. In a game where you have been dominated so much, I'm happy to only be down 4 and get the ball in the second half.

ok...time to go look at that play again. Nobody even sniffed the QB

[rbaloha1]

Fortunate we are only down 4.

Expect a down to the wire game.

There is no offensive line for protection. They could barely hold the pocket to throw a 15-20 yard route for Jennings.

I want them to throw shorter, not longer. Faster reads. 1 then 2 progression, then get rid of it. Stop going backward. It doesn't help to run the ball if it never pulls them out of Cover 2 or slow down the pass rush.

Also, I thought you were commenting more about the Lions than the Pack O.

RUSSELL WILSON....wow.....wish he'd have waited a year though.....I wanted something good for Flynn
