Packers vs. Lions II Discussion Thread

[bobblehead]

This week the only thing that's gonna take off is Aidan Hutchinsin around or through the Packers' offensive tackles, whoever they may be this week.

Lions are going to be on fire - that crowd will be absolutely wild. It's going to be a question of withstanding the first ten minues of the game. Not sure this young team has the poise to do that, and they certainly don't match up in terms of talent. Plus the Loins are not as depleted, injury-wise.

I'm afraid I see glimmers, mere glimmers, of hope this week, with the Loins starting fast out of the gate, and after some competitive play, pulling away big at the end.

Work the run game all week in practice. Take the ball first and put together a drawn out 7 minute drive even if you only get a FG. That should calm the fans down at least until Barry fields his excuse for a defense.

Was Week 4 the one where everyone on the OL was hurt? IIRC they were without Bakh and Jenkins, I think Runyan got hurt in game and Tom was hobbling around too.
Hutchinson is a problem to block but I think they'll do better. Only thing is that turf sucks and the dome will be loud.

I don't think they will have much success running the ball, but they can't start the game throwing 6 straight times either. If nothing else maybe try mixing things up a little, GB is very predictable on 1st down - they run the ball the vast majority of the time. Maybe start with a safe short throw and do what it takes to keep their offense off the field. David Montgomery is probably still running thru holes in the defense in MLF's nightmares. Oh, and don't play 2 DL nickel on the 2 yard line.

As with most games, it will be won in the trenches and I think DET is better there on both sides of the ball.

All week in practice just means today. And they won't want to risk injury to Dillon in practice. Dillon was listed on the injury report yesterday with a groin. They likely started working on the gameplan late last week and that's what they'll go with. Except they might have to take Wicks and Musgrave out of the gameplan. Only way I see Packers winning this game is if the D/ST score at least 1 TD.

Not much changed.

Fuck Thursday games.

That is all

Matt LaFleur says Luke Musgrave not only has a "pretty significant" abdomen injury but was actually in the hospital. He played through it, told Flea the next day. LaFleur says Musgrave is "going to be a dynamic player" and credits his toughness: "He didn't say anything all game."

LaFleur said that they have the injury diagnosed and is under control. He said Musgrave is actually out of the hospital now. He won't play Thursday and he did not rule out injured reserve but they're waiting to see how things go.

Tucker Kraft time.

Luke Musgrave has a lacerated kidney. Doubt we'll see him again this year.

[Freak Out]

Wow.

The injury list could form a starting 11 with backups at several positions.

How in the wide wide world of sports do you lacerate a kidney?

It happened after going to the ground after making a catch. It doesn't look like much, but he did come down on the ball. You can see him holding his abdomen after he gets up.

How in the wide wide world of sports do you lacerate a kidney?

A kidney laceration is an injury in which a tear in the kidney tissue might lead to bleeding or leaking of urine into the abdominal cavity. The blood or urine collects in a space called the retroperitoneum, which is behind the peritoneum, where your bowels are located. Lacerated kidneys can also lead to blood in the urine. All kidney injuries (also known as renal trauma) account for 1% to 5% of all traumatic injuries that are severe enough to require treatment at a trauma center.1Shoobridge JJ, Corcoran NM, Martin KA, Koukounaras J, Royce PL, Bultitude MF. Contemporary management of renal trauma. Rev Urol. 2011;13(2):65-72.


Kidney lacerations can result from either blunt or penetrating trauma.

The #Packers signed WR Bo Melton and RB James Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster, placed TE Luke Musgrave and RB Emanuel Wilson on injured reserve, and elevated FB Henry Pearson and S Benny Sapp III to the active roster for gameday.

Injury report offering more hope than yesterday's did.
