Packers vs. Lions Discussion Thread

The alpha male of a pack of wolves refrains from displaying weaknesses at all costs. Weakness is an invitation for another male to dethrone the alpha.

Can’t win them all. But, as leader of the Pack, it is important that the Lovemaker lead by displaying toughness. Go win the fucking game!

You just described last week with Willis coming in and winning it. So how does it go now?

I hate to say but the was an obvious energy when Willis went in.

Game’s likely gonna be a shootout. In a shootout, the Packers are better off with Love.

If the Packers want to win the division, they have to win this game. You don't sit anyone who is cleared to play and can help you win.

Maybe probably, but not a certainty.
If the Packers lose tomorrow they can still split with the Lions and Vikings. Would need to sweep the Bears. After that need to win out over common opponents. A heavy lift but possible.

I say again, if Love can throw normally and has 75% or more mobility, then he should play.

Must win game or any other game, you don't give up the best chance to win just for stupid hyper-caution. And beyond that, people in here saying he should sit it out don't have any knowledge about how good or bad off he is. Neither do I, of course, but I'm saying the default should be to play him and anybody else who can play at say 75% or more ability - unless a replacement's 100% is better than the injured guy's 75%, which it ain't in the case of Love.

I'm thinking LaFleur has the good sense to play him.

You’re one to talk….
Willis is an adequate backup for the Packers, he will never be anything else.

Who was that guy, skinhead? Rumpleflintskin? Some skin guy. Yea, you sound just like that guy.

That is when the alpha female has his back and hen pecks him until he rests his damn groin. I agree though, men with testosterone refuse to show weakness, even for their own good.

Or is it less likely to be a shootout with Willis running ball control, keeping Goff on the sideline frustrated?

And to be clear, my position is that if Love is impeded Wilis gives us the better chance to win. Last week, once Love was hurting, it was shotgun, no play action, don't make him back peddle all game and we lost a ton of deception. If Love lines up under center, we pound it 25 times and play action off it all game I'm fine with either guy.
