Lions Week

[Patler]

Solari went into the booth to keep Dom company.

The snowball continues. Now wonder the O-line played like crap. Not enough direct personal contact and oversight during the game. Clearly, Solari being on the sidelines to hold their hands and coddle them was key to their early season performance.

Very good story on problems so far on offense. Short version? With Adams and Nelson out, what worked before (which was already simpler than previous M3 offenses due to no huddle) is not working now. Especially when you can double Cobb or put the best cover guy on him.

He did at some point, but I don't remember if it was last year, or the year before

and reds free FF advice for the week. START MATT STAFFORD!!!!

You say that now. Wait until this weekend when Stafford has his best game of the season.

Update: At practice, cornerback Damarious Randall (ankle), cornerback Casey Hayward (concussion) and right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) did not practice. Cornerbacks Quinten Rollins (neck) and Sam Shields (shoulder) and receiver Ty Montgomery (ankle) returned to practice. Tight end Andrew Quarless, who is on injured reserve/designated for return, is eligible to practice this week but did not participate.

Would be very good to have Monty and Shields back, even if Randall is out.

Also, same source confirms Fosco's report about Lacy being demoted and Starks promoted to 1st team.

Eddie Lacy was a limited participant, but it had nothing to do with injury

[Joemailman]

Who could have predicted the Lacy situation? Over the last 4 games he's had 33 rushes for 78 yards. Starks' injury history probably makes the Packers reluctant to give him the ball 20+ times a game. Opponents don't fear the Packers deep passing game, and now they don't have to fear the Packers running game. No wonder a lot of the short-to-medium routes aren't working.

Lacy has dealt with depression before. I wonder where his mind is at these days.

RANDALL IS OK. REPEAT, RANDALL IS OK. EVERYBODY BREATHE OUT. HE'S JUST SPENDING SOME QUALITY TIME WITH THE COMMODE.

Is anyone going to mentioned that lacy has officially been demoted to second string?

Starks is now the starter

What is there to talk about? That is exactly the decision that has to be made at this point. Lacy isn't in football shape. Starks offers more of a punch as a receiver out of the backfield, and is a better pass blocker too which doesn't hurt considering the current issues with the OL.

What a low point this is. This team looks awful - offensively and defensively. And Masthay, too.

I predict a narrow, ugly victory over Detroit, and much gnashing of teeth following.

If the team is as awful as you suggest Detroit is going to win in Wisconsin for the first time in eons this Sunday. It will not be healthy for any of us to visit any Packers' forums again until the 2016 draft.

[Fritz]

What I'm trying to say is that they're awful right now, and I don't think it's all going to be fixed in one game.

I don't know how far this team will go; I'm just trying to give some perspective. Right now the team looks horrible - but it's close to the same team that came within a whisker of the SB.

That's what's so appealing and maddening.

[denverYooper]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're awful. I'd say they played 6 quarters of unfocused football on the road against 2 unbeaten teams.

It would then be a pretty close approximation of what happen in the 2010 Packer-Lion game at Lambeau. Sean Hill (yup Stafford was out at QB that week) led the Lions to 431 yards and 6 scores.

Fortunately for the Pack we held Det to 4 FG in the 2nd half and won 28-26. Fans were screaming at each other in the stands every time Det marched down the field only to be stopped for FGs.

I remember leaving the game and thinking it felt like a loss even though we won. If I remember correctly that was also the weekend that Vick got his ribs crunched in the late game and had to be taken out. We went to the Stadium View after the game and had a few trying to wait out the traffic.

What's the word out of Michigan, Fritz?

Do the Leo's smell blood in the water or is everyone just trying to hold onto their jobs?
