Week Nine: Detroit Lions (6-1) @ Green Bay Packers (6-2)

[IdahoBert]

Come on don’t let the Packers dream of getting back in this game. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I like the challenge even though it didn't look great on first look.

[MichiganCardinal]

Ugh. Frustrating that muff was only a loss of one.

[Sports_Freak]

Lions defense stressing us but they've still only given up 3 points. Remarkable. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I'm a big fan of the Packers center.

[IdahoBert]

After such a drive holding them to a field goal is pretty good. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Still a three-possession game.

6 in response would ice it.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Holding them to three was big there. They were driving and they stopped their momentum. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Five straight commercials that aren't political.

How the hell am I supposed to know who to vote for?!?

A nice 7 minute TD drive right about now would pretty much end it.

[Motown Bombers]

This was a good game to not have Jameson since these conditions aren't suitable for him. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Still going to have to pass it, they're selling out against the run.

Don't worry, Quarter break coming.

Even a 5 minute FG drive. Hell, even a 2 minute FG drive or 5 minute scoreless drive. Packers aren’t going to score 3 TDs plus at least a couple of two-point conversions, in under a quarter. That’s why if I’m Green Bay I probably would have gone for it on 4th and long. 

[lordstanley]

That “drive” wasn’t ideal. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Lions winning special teams today.

[IdahoBert]

Forcing a turnover here and then scoring a TD would be nice. 

[Motown Bombers]

What was stopping the Lions from putting Brandon Joseph's jersey on Branch during halftime?

[IdahoBert]

Gutsy play to get the First down on that fourth and five for Green Bay. 

[lordstanley]

Damn, what a catch. That would have been game. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Game saving catch.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Heckuva catch there by Reed. Rakestraw got caught not looking and playing the ball. He should have had that stop.

Meh, down 18 he didn't have much choice.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Uh oh, Davis is down.

True, but it worked. Sometimes desperation is a good friend.
