Official Packers at Lions Discussion Thread

“Shout out to our O-Line for giving up zero sacks this game, against Hutchinson.”

Looks as if Rhyan at centre is working out well. And Belton at RG.

They certainly played well this week. I wonder if they have changed their protection scheme. It seems to me they are now focusing on solidifying the middle first. We haven’t had a free rusher up the middle for a couple of weeks now.

We must be watching different Packer games.
Perhaps I’m from a different Planet. “All the MFL critique is getting tiresome.” C’mon bobblehead.

Packer Nation can clearly see Matt Lafleur is holding the Packer offense back. My biggest beef is he handcuffs Jordan Love by putting him in 3rd down and long passing situations.
You can cry blah-blah all you want but my response is you need to get your head out of the top of your ass.

Thank god no other coach ever faces 3rd and long. How do you feel this morning? Was the play calling better? I think it was WAY better because it worked....but it looked about the same as the last 10 games.

Its a shame we have a head coach that holds his offense back so much. If only we had a coach who consistently wins and produced 2 MVP seasons from his QB. Then we would have something special.

Belton got at least 12 yards rushing this game. Several times I saw a RB stonewalled and Belton came barreling in from behind and "tush pushed" the pile for a yard or 3.

Outside of Hutch, the Lions are banged up on defense. Not trying to undersell the Pack O line, but the Lions D has been snakebite again.

Way, way better feeling now. Lafleur and Love went to Watson long numerous times and it paid off immensely. So absolutely yes, Lafleur called a way better game. He took more chances throughout the entire game at Ford Field. But why can’t he do that more often?

Over the next 3 games (vs. Bears at Broncos and at Bears) Lafleur will need to stay aggressive, he’ll have to keep his foot on the pedal.

He took about the same number of shots to watson as he has since he's been back. Watson does change a gameplan. It was hard to take those shots against the eagle cuz Love only can throw it about 12 yards from his back.

The best possession receivers are the guys who have the ability to go deep. Watson has become that since Kraft went down.
