Official Game Day Thread: Packers vs. Lions

[The Leaper]

We put up 37 points, but amazing as it sounds we still left a lot of points out there on the field today..

Not nearly as many as the Lions.

[BallHawk]

It sounds like most of the injuries today were nothing of great concern. KGB was walking around, CW was able to walk to the locker room without a lot of pain. Pickett came back in. Tauscher, it sounds like, could of played.

The one that concerns me is CW, but it doesn't look like something that will keep him out long. We just need him for Dallas. If he can play against Dallas, he can have a game or two to rest up. We're going to need to play A-grade to beat Dallas and we need our best defensive player to do it.

The packers truely are a "team" and all of the parts got us to 10-1. We do need everyone to be healthy or at least able to contribute next week.

Returning punts, on his 35 yard return

Wow. And having to cover Cowboys next week with the young guys. The decision to let Woodson return punts may end up costing us home field in the playoffs against the Cowboys.

Some will tell you the Packers had no choice but to have Woodson fielding punts.

I guess they'll just rush 11 and attempt to block punts the rest of the season.

This situation pisses me off. Having your aging star corner return punts makes zero sense.

But then again, he could have gotten injured just the same trying to run a pick back for a touchdown. He is back there to make plays and he was making one.

Philly game is a good example of why you don't generally want a wide-eyed rook back there.

he wanted to do it but if Chuck wasn't to be the return man, we should have had another player doing it in the preseason. I don't think it is a great idea to go from Woody to a rookie in week 10 or 11. I know Will was to be the return man but he can't be counted on.

If Bush makes the block, Chuck doesn't get hurt and probably takes it to the house.

He made a damn nice runback. It's a judgment call. I think there are other players available who can perform nearly as well as Woodson.

What about Robinson?

Well I just got done watching the game. I had it recorded and everyone I met or called the first thing I had to say was "Do Not tell me anything about the game!"

Sorry if this is one big recap for you guys but here I go.

What the hell was with that running out of the clock at the end of the half. I could not see that the ball was ever loose and it seemed to me like 3 lions players just jumped up and started acting like it. The lions were using that as cover to keep the clock running to either limit them to a FG or keep them from scoring all together!

There were a lot of other BS things I felt the lions were doing as well that they kept getting away with that just seemed cheap. The lions are now in competition with the bears for the lame ass cheap shot bastards of the NFCN!

These injuries are really upsetting to me because of the NFL's bullshit scheduling. The Packers have had to travel to this game, get all banged up and then travel home to prepare for the next game. And Dallas is (and has been) already sitting in the easy chairs relaxing for next week.

In case you haven't noticed, Dallas is never slated to visit Green Bay during the regular season. That's why I don't put much stock in the won/loss records between the two, because most of the more recent games have all been in Texas except for in 1997 when the Pack roasted their asses 45-17....

Why yes I have noticed that as well.
Jerry Jones= Everything that wrong with the NFL today! How this pile to crap is able to pull of this bullshit year after year is beyond me! That asshole hates Green Bay because we are the smallest market in the league and we make as much revenue as they do and its because of Green Bay that he doesnt have more control because we prove you dont have to be a rich prick to win football games.

Yes, i realize I am spouting off without any real facts to back me up. It just upsets me that Cowboys seem to be catered to year after year in these match ups.

One thing Koren lacks is great hands. If anyone has followed his career, you'll notice the many drops he has had and returning kicks is much easier. The rotation on a punt is trickey while catching a kick is pretty easy. Blackmon was the guy but he can't stay healthy.
