Official Packers vs. Lions Turkey day thread

[Bretsky]

The qb fumble for a td was a killer and the fake punt was borderline insanity. It is great to have a disciplined special teams group

How the fuck do they not have turkey legs? Madden frowns from above.

We all just said the same thing

They didn’t even give love a turkey leg?

What did we just do all of this about then

Greg Olson ate it up in the booth

The Love-O-meter is at an all time high. I’m starting to believe in Love.

Fuck for once you might be right. That is going to be the fucking turkey they were supposed to serve.

That bitch telling him they didn’t have any turkey legs was pathetic.

I can’t give you any rep because I must have repped you a decade ago or something and it says I have to be nice to someone else before I can say anything nice to you again

He was legit today and made some damn nice throws

[Freak Out]

Fun game to watch. Love had a hell of a game. The fucking D got after it.

[MadtownPacker]

Congrats again to bobblehead, the reluctant hero.

[Rastak]

Impressive game.

This team doesn't have the talent on the field to compete with the Lions. Injuries and youth have made this game too high a mountain to climb.

If we end the game within two touchdowns of the Lions, it will be a moral victory. I just hope we avoid more injuries.

I was wrong. Love is better than I thought he was. Barry coached better than I thought he could. MLF had those guys ready to play. I was impressed. Fourth straight game of improved offense. Next year, we can contend.

[ThunderDan]

What a great game.

Here are the questions I now have:
Why the fucking haven’t we been playing 3 bigs in all year? Det had a hard time running and with 5 guys rushing we got a lot of pressure on the QBs today.

Why haven’t we been running this offense all year? Did the OLine play that much better? Love looked decisive with the ball. Pat Kirwin said it takes 20 starts to see what you have at QB. Maybe he is right. We have seen a bunch of bad and now 2 really good games in a row. Love hopefully is having the game slow down for him.

These advanced metrics on when to go for it or not are completely stupid. I get that 17 or 18 down in the same thing so going for 2 makes sense there. Packers should have kicked the extra point to go up 16. Det should have been kicking FGs all through the 2nd half. Point are points. Unless the teams had no confidence in their kickers, I don’t get it.

That call for a fake punt was stupid. Even if Det got it, they had to go another 40 yards to get in FG range. Still a great chance they would have punted later in the drive if converted.

I am visiting family in Pennsylvania, and it’s really been great to see the kids and grandkids. I only wish I could be in Detroit so’s I could listen to Detroit sports talk radio tomorrow.

About those Loins, was last week’s Bear scare a signal that they were getting overconfident? As my college roommate used to so eloquently say, fuck those fuckin’ fuckers!

Boy that was not the same Packer team we’ve been watching the past two years. Who put the speed in their cream of wheat??

Man, that was fun to watch.

Well, I finally finished wading through all 13 pages.

A GREAT but not unexpected day from my point of view - I said we would probably beat Detroit. Any team that struggled against the Bears was clearly beatable.

I'm wondering, was Goff one of those QBs ya'all whiners and haters thought was better than Love? I said top ten for sure. I may need to upgrade that. I get much the same feeling watching him as I got watching Rodgers - he's extremely unlikely to throw it to the other team.

Congrats to another guy I praised and heard a lot of shit about: Jonathan Owens. Ditto that for #36, Johnson. For years, maybe decades, it seems like we've had mostly soft Safeties. These two may not be perfect, but they really laid some hits on people.

Gary is pretty damn solid. I see hopes that Van Ness may progress the same way Gary has.

Thumbs up for the punter and down for the kicker. At least bring in somebody to compete and put some fear into him.
