Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow. -
Some extra motivation for Detroit. Well, for the QB.
Also, no Ashawn Robinson or Rick Wagner for this one. Out, like the 16 other guys on IR for the Lions. My 83 year old mom might come out of the stands and suit up if anyone else gets hurt for them.
But Kerryon Johnson will play. What a dumb organization."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

They oughta also sit 11, Joey Galloway. Dude made King his bitch they last time both teams met.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
As the Detroit Free Press, yet another wally asset of the Gannett Empire, likes to say, Lions should #PlayLikeDungforYoung. Chase Young is better than the Bosas b/c he’s full-blooded black, according to Todd McShay.Comment

Aaron Jones needs 16 rushing yards for 1000 for the season.
Davante Adams needs 96 receiving yards for 1000 the season.
Aaron Rodgers has 24 TD passes.His previous low when he plays in all 16 games was 25 in 2018. He had 3679 passing yards. His previous low for a 16 game season was 3821 in 2015.I can't run no more

No matter the records or the stakes, a division game is always filled with more risk. Division teams know each other best and home ground/crowd can be irrelevant. Never take a division rival for granted or they will bite you in the rear.
GB should beat Detroit easily. Resting starters should, IMO, only take place in the second half provided the packers have at least a 4 score lead. Aditionally, more passes to WRs can only help as GB readies for the playoffs.sigpic

Our recent record vs Det should be motivation enough to not look past this game w/ all that’s at stake. Short week, Xmas day off, etc... classic trap game scenario.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Good Point, Fosco. Bad as they are, the Lions seem to get fired up against the Packers, and the Packers could be due for a letdown.
Just the same, the Lions really are bad with a crappy 3rd string QB (their 2nd stringer, Driskel looked decent). Also, losing and enhancing their draft position would help them a lot more than a win.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

#Packers coach Matt LaFleur: Taday is two walk-throughs. Morning is install and this afternoon they're going to do situational meetings and then a walk-through. Will be a late day for the players after skipping practice Wednesday.
LaFleur said having #Vikings punch the ball out against #Packers is on tape and once it's on tape everyone is going to try it. "We have to be mindful of it. That had a huge impact on the game."
LaFleur said "this week is a playoff game for us." They're playing for a week off in the playoffs and they're expecting a physical game from the #Lions.
LaFleur said that if RB Jamaal Williams can't play he would be able to rely on Danny Vitale and Dexter Williams to fill the void. But he said Tyler Ervin showed last week he can add something because he's so explosive. He just hasn't been in the offense as long as the others.
LaFleur said he can see #Lions defense is physical and still playing hard. Said rash of injuries they've had can be devastating but they've managed to play close games. "We know we're going to get their best shot," he said.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

DET will be fired up to play. Home division game, they will probably be out for a little redemption after the controversial calls leading to the loss earlier this season.
They are banged up and some guys will have the cars running in the lot, but I think most want to put good plays on tape.
Patricia will have the D fired up and ready to throw a punch. I think GB has better health, more talent, and with playoff seeding more to play for than DET does...so they will punch back.Comment

The stat that stands out most in this game is the Lions are the 32nd ranked team vs the pass.
Rodgers should gain confidence with his passing game.Comment

Kind of interesting to look through some of the defensive stats:
Opponent completion % - 4th
Passing TDs allowed - 5th
Interceptions - 4th
Opponent QB rating - 7th
40+ yard pass plays allowed - 30th
Yards/pass play - 22nd
Down to down this is a very good pass defense, but we've given up an inordinate amount of big plays. Might be attributable to youth.
Rushing yards/game - 22nd
Rushing yards/attempt - 23rd
20+ yard rushing plays - 4th
We give up chunks of yards, but limit the big runs. Run defense seems to be appreciably better since Kenny Clark got over his injury."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Under Pettine Packers will likely never be a great run defense. It's not a big priority with Pettine. He's pretty open about that.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View Post
As long as Packers are stopping the big runs, I suspect he's pretty happy.“I think you have to be sound against the run, but you lose a heck of a lot faster when you’re giving up chunks in the pass game.”I can't run no more

Thanks for posting this information.....it’s always interesting looking at the maps. That Philadelphia map is interesting; the North Dakota/Carson Wentz makes sense, but why down by Springfield and Urbana (IL)?Originally posted by Joemailman View PostAfter lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky.
