Inter-members Discourse Inspired by Activities on Thanksgiving Day

[denverYooper]

Gee whiz, Pugger. First you get us a tie, then you start the non-game day thread too early!
Let's get with it!

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Did I start this too early?

Ohh yea....I forgot to tell you.

Fritz got his tailgate party started this morning.

i think all previous guidelines or rules have been thrown out for this week

[Cheesehead Craig]

i think all previous guidelines or rules have been thrown out for this week

Does that mean you have to be sober for the game this week?

that might happen. i just got back from the hospital and i'm not suppose to drink for 24 hours. so we'll see if that happens

I agree. Let the rumpus begin!

Question:

Who do you think has the most pressure on him to win in this big game for both the Packers and Lions?


After the game he suffered through last week Vs Tampa Bay. I'd say it's this guy:



He needs to rebound from his four-interception performance.


GO PACK GO !

We have been swapping QB's like the Fonz swaps Italian women, what is Detroit's excuse?

[woodbuck27]

If you check out the thread I posted this morning RE: the Green Bay Packers NFL Rank 'RISE' in terms of Toxic Differential.

Look at how the Detroit Lions are doing over the last two weeks (Weeks 11 and 12) in terms of this same statistic.

What do you see?

Where does that lead you in terms of optimism and todays big game at Ford Field?

Does this shift in the two teams in this regard predict a Green Bay Packer win? I believe there are other tangibles that need to be examined.

I also believe this:

I believe we're in for a very exciting game. I hope somehow you get a chance to enjoy it.

GO PACK GO !

Wow.

[woodbuck27]

Wow.

If the Lions lose, Schwartz's seat gets pretty warm.

They're by far the healthiest team in the division, and the only one to have their QB start every game. Not only is GB on their 4th QB, but Chicago's been playing their 2nd stringer. Yet, Detroit has failed to put much distance between themselves and Green Bay or Chicago. They could be playing to put the Packers out of their misery today but instead are just looking for some breathing room.

If they don't win today, they're in deep schmidt.

If the Packers lose, their season is on the brink, so there is pressure on their depth to perform. But, like Bobble sez, they've been MIA at the most import position for 4 weeks and have been scrambling to find a suitable backup after the unthinkable actually came to pass (in the same year that they cut their developmental backups right before the season, no less). They're the underdogs, always the easier role.

Yes a load of pressure on the LIONS today.

The players have to be thinking:

' It's been almost a decade since we won this Holiday Day game '

2003 and no win on Thanksgiving since... must seem like light years ago to the players on that team.

Sometimes the harder you try to erase something the harder it gets to simply change it.

PACKERS !
