Week Fourteen: Green Bay Packers (9-3) @ Detroit Lions (11-1)

An interview with our old friend Wayne Fontes. He’s the anti Patricia. Seems like good guy but couldn’t get the team to the next level.

Moseley inactive again. They are fine in the secondary so I assume it was to make room for more lineman.

Guess I don't see these signs pointing to a Packers victory. Most of the injured players are rotational players. Look at when the Lions played the Packers in week 9. Wingo and Paschal were out just like they are now. Their starting edge players were Muhammad and Isaiah Thomas. They've now upgrade Thomas to Smith. Reader and Levi are the only ones on the DL who played but aren't available. They have since added Smith and Martin.

The secondary is completely intact. Just exchange Rakestraw for Moseley. Keep in mind Branch missed half the game.

On linebacker, Rodriguez was out back in week 9 just like he is this week. Only key piece is Anzalone. They added Alexander. Possibly Adams gets some snaps here as well. It's thin but not terrible. 

To recap, Paschal, Wingo, Rodriguez were all out the first time around. They are only missing Anzalone and Reader from the first time they played but have since added Smith (which has been a big addition), Martin, Alexander, and Adams. 

Wasn't Jaymo suspended the last time the Lions played GB? So the WR position gets a bit stronger this time, too.

He was, but given the conditions of that game, I don't think he would have been very effective.

His players loved him, but it seemed like he changed coordinators/schemes too often.     He was so close to being a decent coach.   3rd best in my memory behind Campbell and Caldwell.    I go back to 1974 with my memory.

I am not going to get too upset if they lose tonight.   I still expect 14-3

[Motor City Sonics]

Jaymo with the drop  and Goff goes right back to him.       No hard feelings.

7-0 Lions. This first Green Bay drive should tell us a lot. Opens with a sack.

So McNeil left the game already. Hopefully he comes back. These injuries are just getting insane.

Got away with a roughing the passer there

[Motown Bombers]

Pretty impressive the pressure they are getting. I'm surprised with McNeil and Reader out they didn't try to run more.

Already messing w/LaFluer 😆

[Motown Bombers]

Looks like he got it on the second effort. 

[Motown Bombers]

What is going on?

Why did Goff not throw at all on that drive

TP is at the game. He will have a talking to with Ben before the next possession.

I have full faith it’s all a part of some plan Johnson has cooked up. 

[Motown Bombers]

Looks like Zeitler is back in.

Great prat fall by Skipper.

Didn’t have defensive battle on my card 

[lordstanley]

10-0 Lions. 
 

Lions will figure out this Packers defense, if halftime if not sooner. 

[Hongbit]

I don’t believe either defense can keep this up.

That was a pretty crap call on Arnold
