  • Official Packers vs. Lions Discussion Thread

    Packers lead all-time series 105-72-7.

    Last meeting: September 20th, 2021. Packers overcame a 17-14 halftime deficit to win going away 35-17. Aaron Rodgers threw for 255 yards and 4 TD's. Aaron Jones has 115 total yards and 4 TD's. Davante Adams had 8 catches for 121 yards.

    Offensively, Lions rank 22nd overall, 21st in passing and 18th in rushing. In 13 games, Jared Goff has passed for 3007 yards with 17 TD's and 8 INT's. Amon-Ra St. Brown leads Lions with 803 receiving yards and 4 TD's. In 12 games D'Andre Swift has 587 rushing yards and 4 TD's. Jamaal Williams has 558.

    Defensively Lions rank 28th overall, 25th against the pass and 28th against the rush. Opposing QB's have passed for 3904 yards with 28 TD's and 9 INT's. Opponents have rushed for 2174 yards and 18 TD's. Lions have sacked opposing QB's 26 times, led by Charles Harris with 7.5.

    Packers opened up as 11 point favorites, but are now off the board due to uncertainty about whether Packer starters will play.

    MLF said the plan is for Bakhtiari to practice this week. He hedged on the question of whether a guy like Bakhtiari could play in the playoffs if he doesn't play this week.

      The right thing to do is sit the starters; but in Adams presser it was brought up that he's about 30 years away form Jordy's single season record and he wants to get it. Wish they would have left AROD and DA in one more series and take care of the record.

      Anyways, I think the starters will play about the quarter. But IMO it's the wrong call
      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

        Totally agree, they should have wrapped it up last night so they can rest next week. Too risky with omnicron or aggrocrag or whatever it’s called. Sit ‘em, unless they really throw a stink about it. Then play them a series then sit em.

          The exciting thing about the reserve Covid list this week is it doesn’t matter. The more the merrier because it ensures they won’t miss the playoffs.

            Tim Boyle played with more heart yesterday than I've seen Jared Golf ever play with.

              I think maybe going 3 weeks between competitive games is too long. I guess I have bad memories from Packers sitting Rodgers and Woodson last game of 2011 season and then laying an egg in playoffs vs Giants.

              I liked the way McCarthy handled it in 2007. Favre started. Packers came out and played very aggressively and built 21-3 lead early in 2nd quarter. Pulled Favre and put in Craig Nall to mop up.

                Agree totally. Treat it like a preseason game 3. Starters play the first half as a final tune up, then pull the bigs.

                  The #Packers just placed Dennis Kelly, Darnell Savage, and David Moore on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

                  An already thin offensive line unit gets thinner and the best returner Green Bay has had all season, who only played one game, is now on the COVID-19 list.
                  These guys could potentially play Sunday if asymptomatic.

                    The next two weeks really. Let them get that cold out of the way.

                      Single season records are crap anyway with number of games played changing

                        Packers haven't had a double-digit win at Detroit since Thanksgiving Day 2011. Lions always come ready to play in this game.

                            Man, I’m hoping for injury luck the rest of the way. We’re in the mix every year with Aaron Rodgers but only have one ring to show for it. It would be nice to have a really lucky last part of the year and somehow win one more.
