Week 5: Packers @ Lions

[Mondio]

No Alexander is big. I think he’s a great matchup for Tate to shut him down. I guess we wait to see that. I think he’s the biggest inactive for us this week

 

[HardRightEdge]

Breeland is listed as inactive from what I have seen.

Doh!

At first I thought maybe they were getting him up to speed and in playing condition, but now I have to wonder if his foot still isn't healed fully.

Breeland wasn't listed on the injury report until Friday where he popped up as "limited participation / questionable" with a hamstring. So, there's that. The Troy Brown era rolls on unless he was released this week and I missed it.

 

[Jerellh528]

Rodgers is starting off bad.

 

[Jerellh528]

Man I wish we had a wr like golladay

 

[Jerellh528]

Tf is going on.

 

[TornSolace]

We haven't looked good all season and Rodgers hasn't looked good either

 

[HardRightEdge]

Q: How is it possible for a team to be down 24-0 at the half without having punted even once?

A: That question is now rhetorical.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

While I do believe the ball never hit King on that punt, it might next time, I am so sick and tired of seeing players even near the damn ball when the returner yells off coverage...."GET THE F*C* OUT THERE!"

 

[Jerellh528]

How come the offense has been coming out like crap but comes alive in the second half.

 

[Jerellh528]

Lol Crosby

McCarthy literally gave up by sending 'Miss it Crosby' back out there for a freaking 56 yrd fg. I can't even say I'm surprised.

 

[Tacklynn]

Am I observing a telling comparison in character and demeanor or does my lack of football knowledge obscure my vision? Last week Aaron Rodgers is unhappy with the game plan and playing and gives a pouty news conference that indirectly raises questions about Mike McCarthy's competence. This week Mason Crosby has a disastrous game that could certainly raise questions about his competence going forward and Mike McCarthy gives him an opportunity to get the last points of the game. I see self absorbed sulking vs. team building class. Am I seeing correctly or do I need a vision test?

You do realize, with the FG, the Packers still had a chance to tie the game (hail mary) if they had recovered the onside kick. If they had gone for the TD there would have been no time left for the kick off recovery and FG/HM.

Sadly, there wasn't enough time on the clock for that scenario, since the clock runs during a kickoff once its touched. The game was over no matter what happened before the final FG.

Off sides penalty would have negated this beaut:

1st & 10 at GB 41
(0:01 - 4th) M.Stafford kneels to GB 42 for -1 yards.

so there would have possibly been time for a final shot.

I will have to watch it again, but had the Packers recovered the ball after an onside kick, time would have gone to zero. Since Detroit was receiving, I assume they are on offense and its not considered a penalty on the defense, for one last play to be run?

Don't bother. The point was a FG with an onside kick, hail mary, 2 pt conversion, OT score was the only theoretical chance to win. No other way at that point was possible.

Breeland was listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury. That indicates his foot wasn't the reason for him missing the game.

ME BAD
The last field goal try was not the 56 yarder. There he should have punted or gone for it. Needed 11 with 5+ minutes left.

Just realized Packers never punted plus scored or missed FGs on every 2nd half drive.
