The big difference was 7 out of our top 10 players didn’t play. The Lion’s were depleted as well but not like the Packers. Bottom line is Stafford should have been able to beat us with our top 4 defensive players out and a backup quarterback lead offense without our #1 WR.

Stafford did (do enough to) beat you. It was the Defense that lost.

Really, it doesn’t matter who is injured for the Pack, the Lions let Ponder have his way with them, what do you think Rodgers is going to do. That D line needs to start earning its pay and all of the hype they get.

Not smart for the packers to rush jordy Nelson back.

Funny, Mathews, Woodson, Williams, Nelson, Rodgers, Jennings, Raji didn’t play last year in the last game against Detroit.

How did that turn out Lions fans?

You realize the Lions were playing with less starters than the Packers in that game, yes?

Lions fans have been pretty quiet this year, which is a welcome change to last year. A win over Green Bay might bring them back out of the woodwork and start them yapping again, and I don’t know if anybody really wants that.

4-5 Lions vs. Packers without Perry, Matthews and Woodson. Playing in a controlled environment of 75 degrees on a fast rug. Rodgers and Nelson on one side, Stafford and Megatron on the other…

————————————–

Lions without Best, Delmas, Houston, Spivey, Burleson, Bentley, Lacey, Corey Williams, etc.

Soooooooooo over-rated!! Where was this guy last year??

He didn’t have a good year, that happens.

They also didn’t generate much of a pass rush outside of Matthews when he was getting double teamed. Thats deffinetly not the case so far this season.

Ripe for an upset. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Lions pulled it off.

I hate to say this because Im a Packer fan… I think that the upset would be if The Packers won this game… I know Detroit sucks, but I think that there are just to many people down this week.

This has all the makings of a old, new-wave NFL shoot-out. As Bart Scott would say, “Can’t Wait”.

Never the less it is what it is.

1. They can’t afford to be as cautious at OLB as they can be at WR, they just don’t have the depth — particularly w/ Nick Perry going to IR.

2. Nelson didn’t re-aggravate anything. Two separate injuries. The second one just happened to happen on the first ball thrown his way after coming back from the first.
