Official Packers vs Lions Discussion Thread

[bobblehead]

AR just said on the McAffee show that Toure was a receiver he thought deserved more play time based on preseason and practice. He was very happy for him Sunday (and obviously pumping him up and voicing his opinion on play time). ..... on another note, he said he and MLF are actually closer this year than any other, and the team is still united. So, that's good. He thought too that the team was really energized for the first time against the Bills (which I noticed esp second half). So, if they get healthy (as he too noted), they could come together second half. i still have doubts about J.B.

Good to hear that. I don't think the team is falling apart internally. Fans are rarely representative of a locker room.

Fox Single - Most of Wisconsin, and almost all of Michigan will get Packers at Lions. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen with the call. Northwest Wisconsin and almost all of Minnesota will get Vikings at Washington. Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth with the call. Most of the west, including Alaska will get Seattle at Arizona. Adam Amin and Daryl Johnston with the call.

I am sorry to report that I foresee a Packer loss in Detroit.

That Lion offensive line is actually good, and so the Loins will be able to run and run and run the ball. The receiver in the St Brown family who is actually good - Amon Ra - will make some key catches, and Goff will do enough because he'll have time to throw.

Meanwhile, Christian Watson gets hurt on about the seventh play of the game, and Arod spends so much time rolling his eyes that his eyeballs hurt the next day.

27 - 20, Loins.

I'd put more value on how LaFleaur reacts when asked about AROD's comments about the offense than I place on what he says through his tool

Yes, the Lions O Line actually is good, and Goff probably isn't as bad as the reputation he's gotten. Their RBs aren't great, but I still expect them to run all over Barry's D. On the good news side, though, I thiink the Packers offense figured out a few things the second half against the Bills, and I'm expecting a big game from Rodgers et al against the Lions. So I expect a high scoring game where the Packers come out ahead.

If they lose this one, the season pretty much is down the drain, as the next three games are Cowboys, Titans, and Eagles. Even if the Packers snap out of this funk, winning all three of those will be tough.

JW and Swift could have a game for sure...still think the Packers squeak one out this week.

I can't figure out exactly where we were discussing Gutes picks and the epic failure of DeGuera, but this is a nice little article.

I admit I didn't notice how effective he was, but I believe it. Lets stop calling him a TE and go with FB. Drafted in the same round as william Henderson I think(??)

If he turns into an effective blocking guy who catches a few passes I'll be cool with the pick. If he plays 17 years or whatever Mercedes is at I'll be thrilled.

Nice find Bobble. Let's hope this continues.

ONLY a GUTEBAG would draft a fullback in round 3 in today's game ))

Campbell out. Quay Walker will call defensive signals.

[Freak Out]

Love the quote Joe.

I'd like to see Watson used to stretch the field a few times. Run the ball a ton though.

He seems to struggle in the third round so he might as well take a fullback

[Sparkey]

Kris Barnes signed to active 53 man roster. They had an open spot so no other move required.

Lions have scored 35, 36, 45 and 27 points at home. 24, 0, and 6 on the road. Their defense is bad wherever they play. Bet the over.

On it...if I lose you owe me. Gonna put 5 notes on it.

Oops.
