Official Lions week 17 discussion thread

Man....You've got style.

And he's got grace...

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck that cheap shot bitch, let him play so he can also be responsible for the loss his shit team is about to suffer.

[KYPack]

Let's take what they give us, piss on them.

Det will likely replace Riola with Travis Swanson, rookie 3rd round pick.

Swanson had 4 starts under his belt, but they were at G.

He's a good kid, they say.

It'll be different for him, 1st start at C, with the line calls, gun snaps and all that.

This game is HUGE ! There is a lot at stake....for example.

a) The NO. 2 NFC Seed and avoiding any 1st Round Date in Dallas.

b) Aaron Rodgers bid for the NFL MVP.

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!

I noticed on PFT they mentioned Stafford has never played a game without Ravioli at center. That should be good for at least one fumble.

IMO, not having Raiola will be a huge loss for Stafford. High pressure game, and having some doubt about the guy snapping you the ball and making the protection calls= a little less confidence. Now if the GB defense can hit Stafford early and often, I think he will crack. Hard to tell though, he seems like a tough kid.

Ya, both. Stafford is tough as nails, but he makes errors. He will get affected by pressure, but he'll come back for more. I like the guy, but not his mechanics.

[Joemailman]

I could see Dom getting pretty creative with his blitz packages, taking advantage of of an inexperienced guy having to make the protection calls.

The airbag can't be right. My parents and grandparents had airbags before the first decade of the Packer's in the Wilderness was over.

Now that airbag might have gone off at odd times or not at all, but it was installed.

That's what the internet told me so it's gotta be right.
