Week 9 vs the Lions Pre-Week Chat

[Heyjoe4]

I will say before this game happens, if we get out of this game with a win…I don’t want to hear anyone *****.

Seriously, this team we are going up against is legit good. This could be an absolute ugly dogfight and if it is it isn’t because MLF sucks or Gute is terrible, it’s because the Lions are freaking good.

Love throws no tuddies and four picks but we win - let’s go!!!

And hat said look for Watson to show up in a big way, I think a couple play action deep shots are coming and his time is now.

The Lions are a very good team. Arguably the best in the NFL right now, even without AH.

Consensus/logic says a game in the rain is gonna be a grind-it-out affair. Not sure who that favors. Well no, the Lions should win this game.

But the Packers are home on a sloppy Lambeau Field so I like the Packers 24-21. A hat trick for McManus? Why not? And Watson showing up big time? It's about time.

If the interior O line does a good job; we should be able to protect Love. Of course we'll need to pick up blitzers.

Yup and do some blitzing of our own. About time for Gary to have a big game. Fine w me.

I've been slumming around these sites since '98 or so ... and this is what fan forums are built on. Same stuff everywhere.

Hey, I'm willing to listen. Two woulda/coulda/shoulda losses, neither of which I think anyone likes. Two blow-out wins against teams that had it coming. Four <1 score wins, a couple of which just shouldn't have been that close. How many of those don't deserve some sort of criticism?

 

[Heyjoe4]

Alexander is out. Detroit has a strong receiving corps.

What is it with JA and injuries? I don't know the numbers but I'm sure someone does. This season and last season, how many games has he missed?

Even with his sometimes empty trash talking, he is a very good CB. Just need him on the field more.

 

[AmishMafia]

Detroit is really good, for the first time in my life. Without 2 of our top 3 DBs, we have our work cut out for us. My best hope is the weather affects them more than the Packers. I wish Love sat out and he completely heals for the rest of the season, but maybe he is better than we realize.

I am always the optimistic one.

Therefore, jacobs has a big day grinding out some tough yardage. Kraft has a big day with more short passing. Goff has trouble handling the ball and his precision passing game isn't there.

Packers 23 Lions 19

Alexander is out. Detroit has a strong receiving corps.

That is why I figure the Lions to put up 38 maybe 40 plus. Josh Myers out. That could cause some false starts. Hope the exchange is not sloppy.

Pack are 1-9 in games played the weekend of the time change. They won last year because I was there motivating their sleepy butts.

Blaming AR, with Love (or Willis) thst curse has ended.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

Let's do this!

 

[weeds]

...with Tom Brady talking at us...

 

[Pkrjones]

Is this the game day thread? Let's go GB!! Opening drive TD & don't let them near!!

 

[weeds]

Uniforms look like St Norberts College

 

[Pkrjones]

Nice, I'll take 10 yds/carry!

 

[tripleguy]

Penalty to start. Typical.

 

[tripleguy]

Good thing we've cleaned up penalties. 2 so far

 

[tripleguy]

Not a great pass but catchable.

 

[Big L]

Not a great pass but catchable.

Behind him and he got a hand on it - that was such a short easy throw that has to be on the money

 

[PackerDNA]

Good drive, but still shooting themselves in the foot. Two penalties and I'll call him the second one a drop too

 

[Chaluke]

Looks like we may have two threads going for today's game.

 

[Chaluke]

Or maybe 3

 

[Big L]

Good drive, but still shooting themselves in the foot. Two penalties and I'll call him the second one a drop too

You can’t call it a dropped pass if he had to reach back to get one hand on it

 

[PackerDNA]

This team is just too stupid and undisciplined at times

 

[Pkrjones]

There's a gameday thread ending in Showdown...

Playoff seeding talk is great in wk15,but now is a little crazy,Packers have 5 division games left,49ers,Seahawks & Miami as well with CMC,Metcalf,Tua and some of there other key players returning for the match ups as of now, also play Saint's.So 8 of 9 very tough games imo.Will need a healthy Love,and the injuries he's playing with are 100% effecting his play,as u can see in his td/turnover ratio from 2023 to 2024,and his mobility as he ran for 250yds and 4tds in '23,and only has 25yds and 0tds this year.Love his desire to b out there,but nervous about him playing today on a wet field with a groin strain,but the staff and people around him r smarter then me,Go Pack!!
