Official Game Day Thread: Lions versus Packers Week 10

Huge choke by Crosby at end on the mis-hit. Worthy of a Bostickler Trophy.

Harlan?

Absolutely - unless it was Masthay with laces in. I will check the video.

^Laundry is important.

Packers need to alter playbook. Teams are jumping all the stuff they normally show in no-huddle. No one is open deep (if there is time) and no one worries about the run game.

King Friday suggested sending Jones to the sideline and I might agree. While sending Rodgers or Perillo to the sideline makes the no huddle one dimensional, taking Jones out of there for Janis (doesn't look like its going to be Abby) might be a move to consider.

But I think its the playbook and formation stuff first.

Agree completely. It's stale and not surprising anyone...and if you can't surprise you better dominate.

thought the d played well.

no, sorry, not buying it

if we had played this way against a good offense, then maybe you can say what the defense did wasn't bad

but when you play that way against a terrible team. its bad

its very bad

[Freak Out]

There were a few nice individual plays on D but over all it was not a good game IMHO. Lions were inept as much as the D was good.

[Fosco33]

Just got back from game. Great seats - neat to see moment of silence for Paris, wolf's name on the ring and even got a nod from Aikmen.

A few observations - arod changed cleats about mid 2nd q.
Did pack lose 4 seconds before last TD. Official said to reset clock to 0:40 but it stayed at 36. Could've given us shot to get another 5 yards and maybe a less shankable FG.

Also - seemed like refs were happy to keep flags in the pocket. Late hit out of bounds, hit to Starks head and at least 3 more missed holding/PI calls. Have teams just determined that the refs won't call it everytime so bump/hold and make it even harder for the slow footed offense to get open.

Special teams on both sides sucked. 2 missed fg, 2 missed pat, bad punts, onside kicks, long kickoff return.

Like I said - pack has been just average in last 4 games.

and then, at one point later in the game they rush 3, then send one on a delayed blitz and it blows up the play cause we can't figure out how to block it with our 5 linemen te's and RB's

Rodgers rolled into that guy. He was spying and came forward when Rodgers went wide. Bad decision with 3 man rush.

Actually, I thought overall it was one of their better results. They throttled the run game from nickel which you would expect to do versus that offense. But the killer again was big plays. Especially Tate on 3rd down. Also the TE not named Ebron on 3rd down between 2 defenders.

Reset the play clock is what the official asked.

how bright was the sun shinning through the new addition early on?

it looked like a lot of guys were having trouble looking that way

[Fosco33]

Yeah. Sun was in pack's eyes in 2nd q for sure.

Can't believe we abandoned run fully in 2nd half. 60+ attempts for arod.

more good news, the team that destroyed us 2 weeks ago is getting blown out by the chiefs 22-0 at halftime

peyton is 5-18 for 35 yards, no td's and 3 ints in the 3rd quarter

he was 21-29 for 340 yards and just 1 int against us

[red]

and the peyton manning era might have just ended

[Rastak]

and the peyton manning era might have just ended

Wow, that's bad. He was on the injury report I believe.

We got him at a bad time...coming off the bye when he had a chance to recover and get back to 85%.

I have a Broncos friend and I told him it was unlikely Manning would hold up through the rest of the year. He agreed with me. Manning fell apart last December. The guy can occasionally flash what he once was...but he's done and will only hurt the Broncos going forward.

he was just benched in the third quarter after 5-20 for 35 yards and 4 ints

he's not hurt at all
