Official Lions Week Chatter

[Guiness]

Well, they'll need all defensive hands on deck so they can, like New England, win with under 300 yards of total offense, the difference the Packers will be doing so with their All-World QB.

I know I sound a little bitter right now. All the more reason for Rodgers and this offense to get back on track, so everyone can tell me "I told you so."

So that's not happening - with Burnett, Shields and Mathews ruled out, plus Guion and Jones listed as doubtful, that's 4 starters and a primary backup the defense is likely to be without.

At ROLB the next player on the depth chart is Fackrell. I haven't noticed him on the field during the regular season.

Also, #Packers have downgraded DT Letroy Guion (knee) and OLB/DE Datone Jones (knee) to DOUBTFUL. Hihgly unlikely they'll play, either.

Packers S Morgan Burnett (groin) and LB Clay Matthews (ankle/hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday vs Detroit. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=2...924367651832-4 …

Fackrell's played about 5-10 snaps per game.

Lowry coming out time.

Fuck Hades and his 4 inch cock, the Claymaker sure is injury-prone as an OLB. Missed only a few snaps playing ILB last season.

Hope we see more Pepper trm than Fucker or is it Fackrell?

Watch out for my dawg, K-Brice. He's gonna shine.

[HarveyWallbangers]

What the heck! Half the starters on defense are out. I was feeling pretty good about this game.

I wasn't feeling good about before taking away 4 more players on Defense. Now with a preseason defense and a dog-shit offense, it's looking more like Detroit will win by 14 instead of the Packers.

[Rutnstrut]

Not real shocked that Clay has hurt his vag again.

[Bossman641]

Not real shocked that Clay has hurt his vag again.

He hadn't missed a game since the very end of the 2013 season.

[esoxx]

All the injuries on defense make it even more imperative that A-Rod be A-Rod once again. Time to take charge and carve up this Lions D. They're without their best pass rusher so should have time in the pocket.

31-27 Pack

I heard Sam is going to see a concussion specialist. This isn't a good sign.

Would you rather he see a foot specialist?

[Rastak]

What the hell...

You should start a new attrition thread.

That map chops off a solid chunk of northern WI and gives it to the Vikings. It has been that way for a few years now. I have many friends and relatives who are livid, as they are no longer able to see Packer games. On cable they previously were able to get the games, bot not under the current licenses. It makes no sense, because it is and always has been solid Packer territory.

It's because their stations come out of Duluth.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Their "over the air" major network TV has ALWAYS come from Duluth, but since cable TV first came into the area in the mid-1960s, the cable provider also carried more southern stations (Wausau, Eau Claire. Green Bay, etc.) in addition to the Duluth stations. As a result, the northern WI counties always had Packer games available to them, WI state news, etc.

However, a couple years ago the NFL apparently revised their rules to prohibit importing conflicting same-network games into the Designated Market Area (DMA) of another station. The FCC then included northern WI in the DMAs of the Duluth stations. The result is that whenever the Vikings and Packers play at the same time, the cable provider can not carry the WI channel. Some of these people have had Packer games available to them for 50 years; but now, because of rules changes, they miss a lot of games. For the most part, they have also lost WI based news, as I understand it.

The NFL has provided a solution for Packer games, individuals can subscribe to the NFL Ticket Package for $250.

At least, that is the way it has been explained to me.
