Not sure if I posted this somewhere or said it to a friend, but the Silver Lining I take from Sundays game is this. Had the Packers continued to blow out the Lions, I think they could have gone into the bye week a bit too satisfied with where the team was at. Hopefully not, but we sure layed an egg last year at Denver coming out of the bye week on a high note and sitting at 6-0. So perhaps that second half of football sent a message to coaches and players, that the Packers still have a lot of work to do to be a really good team and some of that work will get done in the 2 weeks between games.
The first half of football was the best we have seen from the offense in awhile, but the defense it was done against shouldn't have AR and Co. saying "see, all is well". The defense also played a very good first half, minus the MJJ TD. But, the defensive implosion in the second half should send a clear message to Capers and Co., "we need to get better in the passing game".
Never fun to watch a second half like the one last Sunday, but if nothing else, it may make us better going forward.
