WITH BODY PART PLEASE!

Injury report - Out: House (shoulder). Probable: QB Aaron Rodgers (calf), Lang (ankle), Sitton (toe), Matthews (biceps), Neal (abdomen)

Those Clif Bar snack things have been doing wonders.

Also, Perry not listed. This will be good for he eventual Seattle game!

Green Bay Packers @packers
McCarthy on schedule: I feel very good about the energy & execution. Wednesday's practice was excellent. Feel good about where we are.

Green Bay Packers @packers · 3h 3 hours ago
McCarthy on #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (probable, calf): I don't have very high concern right now. #DETvsGB

Packer Report @PackerReport 3h3 hours ago
No concerns on Rodgers. "Tomorrow will be a big indicator" with practice. Not a high concern.

Green Bay Packers @packers · 3h 3 hours ago
McCarthy on Davon House (out for Sunday): Making progress. Hopeful for playoffs. #DETvsGB

Packer Report @PackerReport 3h3 hours ago
"It isn't like he hasn't played," McCarthy said on Swanson, a rookie who will start at center.

Green Bay Packers @packers · 3h 3 hours ago
McCarthy: John (Kuhn) is extremely consistent. Having one of his best years as a lead blocker. Takes advantage of all his opportunities.

Green Bay Packers @packers · 3h 3 hours ago
McCarthy: I think the kick return game, this is the time of year it needs to accelerate. I'm looking for that to happen Sunday. #DETvsGB

The game Vs the Lions @ Lambeau is huge !

What makes it so and ....

TEN things we need to see to encourage a win result.

GO PACK GO !

I have exactly one standard for the Packers: just entertain, baby. My expectations for Sunday are sky-high. A good opponent, tons on the line. A possibility for glory - beating up a good team. Not a lot of injuries. I can't imagine a stinker, I'm expecting, no, demanding, a big win.

The Packers will win this game.

This will be a very tough game... I don't buy the 7 pt spread.

Detroit has handled us without too much trouble the last 2 times we've played them - granted one of those games was without Rodgers, and both were in Detroit; but still, Detriot can be a very tough out, and they have a lot of weapons.

They'll likely contain our offense under 30 pts, so it all depends on dunderdummy - of course. Almost every game comes down to dunderdummy.

[mraynrand]

I like the Packer D-line/LBs against the beat up Lions O-line.

I think the Packer O-line will play better against the Lions front 7 than in Detroit. That's worth a 14 point swing at least.

[woodbuck27]

This game will be close but we'll win by 7-10 Points.

Vegas has the Green Bay Packers @ [ -7.5] right now. Sat. 7:23 AM ... 27 Dec. 2014.

Bet the Packers to Cover and ...... the Under ( 47 ).

GO PACK GO !

Packers receivers know big hits await.

" Granted, the Ronnie Lott days — heck, the Roy Williams days — are long gone.......Ask former Packers receiver Antonio Freeman. He suffered seven concussions, a broken forearm and a broken jaw patrolling the middle. After the jaw in 1998, he said he had to drink Ensure and milkshakes through a straw — for 13 days — with Mom in town. " Fr. Article

GO PACKERS !

farley out...that's a good thing.

[gbgary]

this "get loud Lambeau" thing is kinda silly. it's always loud there. now if the cowboys put on a similar campaign then i'd understand. it would be 'please show up...don't sell your ticket'.

[Harlan Huckleby]

farley out...that's a good thing.

I think it is more fun to play and beat the other team's best. I always hate injuries, it sucked that Calvin Johnson was out, I think it was last game. It sucks that Lions are missing their center.

Packers need a good game against a talented team. They are due. I have a lot of confidence in Packer O-line.

Detroit is excellent at home but not on the road. Their defense is great but their offense? That bunch made Chicago's D look competent last Sunday. Stafford is inconsistent as hell. Now they have a rookie in the middle of their O line that wasn't all that great to begin with.

[King Friday]

I have confidence about this game. The Packer offense is due for a great game. They will be very happy to be back at home after two difficult road games.

The Detroit defense is tough, but playing Buffalo and Tampa in the previous weeks will be helpful for Green Bay. They've already been faced with stiff tests, and the coaches should understand what changes need to be made to help attack the edges more.

The Detroit offense does not scare me at all right now. Losing a veteran center is a critical blow on the road in a stadium that is going to be cold and loud.

I bet the 49ers wished all our injured guys were playing last year
