Official Packers/Lions Game Thread

I can't wait for the game tomorrow! Wait, next week you say? Well, screw this. I'll see you guys in this thread Saturday.

I don't think we'll go winless... but, ya never know.

Well.....that makes me feel better!!

Kool-aid tasted good? Hey, be a Packer fan for crying out loud. Naivety ain't a crime though. I predicted a 6-10 record - now that's naive! Still gonna be a Packer but I'm gonna speak my mind when things are this bad.

the one thing that scares me about the lions game is the dome hex combined with taking the rookies on the road. rookies tend to do better in friendly territory than on the road.

Well, after the first Lions' game against the Seahawks, the fans were quietly optimistic. They liked Marinelli's response - close isn't good enough, so what if we stayed close? - and they thought this team would play Chicago really tough.

All the drumbeating by the Detroit coaching staff about wanting "men" who wanted to win at all costs, that would give their lives to win, blah blah blah, played really well here.

But after a thrashing at the hands of the Bears - it was worse than the Packers' loss - they seem to think it's the same ol', same ol' Lions.

Go Pack

We will sneak one out 34-27 Roy Williams blows up but a late pick by Kitna seals it for us.

I predict Packers 17
Lions 14

I have a million questions, though, will Koren see playing time at receiver? Will Spitz be back and if so, does Colledge start in place of Moll or no? Will Morency play RB or stick with KR/PR? Can we put some stick 'em on Bubba's hands 'til he gets his confidence back?

By the way, since I was so down on the officiating in the first week, I must say that they seem to have done a much better job with the second, though I really didn't see where Bubba bumped the ref...

Does this mean we get the #6 announcing team next week? I can't imagine it getting worse than this week's crew...but I suppose it is possible. Going lower than "Nick Barnett plays MLB better than anyone else in the league" is going to be very difficult.

I think we get the #9 announcing crew. Some popcorn salesman and the starting QBs mom.

[BooHoo]

Even though the Lions have had stinky teams the past few years they always seem to rise up for the pack game. Don't expect us to blow them out on Sunday. I would be surprised if it isn't decided by 4 or less points.

They'll be an improvement over what we've had. Just a quick bit of advice for them, when the snap count starts, quit talking to the actor who's pimping is latest gig and talk about what's going on on the field. The actor will wait, the fans will torch your car after the game.

We get the 2 from last week.. Ron Pitts and Terry Donahue. Too bad we can't get Matt Vasgersian, at least HE'D be entertaining.
