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


Recommended Posts

Updated forecast.

Good conditions for Montgomery and Gibbs to run all over the Packers. They rank 26th against the run in the last four weeks. I'm sure they'll stuff the box, but Goff should be able to make throws underneath to Gibbs, ASB, and LaPorta. On the other side, I'm hoping we get a hobbled and immobile Love. We will stuff the run like we always do, but Willis will probably find holes in coverage and then run for long distances.

The "Goff plays poorly outdoors" trope is overplayed and stupid, but I do worry some for Bates in his first outdoor NFL game.

FOX is reporting that Love will start, but they are going to monitor his mobility throughout the game. Sounds like he'll have a quick hook if he looks bad.

Wet condition and a bit chilly won't be good for his groin. Especially if he has to scramble. Hopefully we can get some pressures with a blitz package.

Asking for a friend. Will this game really begin at 4:25 PM or will we have to watch ex-jocks jabber at each other for 15 minutes or so before it starts? 

These 4:25 "game of the week" games usually start pretty close to the listed time, kickoff will likely be at 4:30 at the latest.
