Matthew Stafford on red-zone issues: "It's just execution." Said it's not scheme-oriented with their issues. Prior to last week, Detroit had been good in the red zone, but 0-for-5 last week made things worse.

Matthew Stafford on why the team doesn't use the quarterback sneak much: "Maybe I'm just not good at it, I don't know."

Matthew Stafford on playing at Lambeau Field: "I love it. I love playing there." Said he's had some wild games there -- but he also hasn't had much success. He's 1-5 at Lambeau Field and it's the only place he's played in at least four times without winning at least twice. Stafford is 3-10 against Green Bay in his career. He's also played well in Green Bay, too, averaging 315 yards with 15 passing touchdowns and five interceptions, according to ESPN Stats and Information.

Jim Caldwell said he doesn't know how long it'll be for Taylor Decker to shake off rust but that it would take a little bit. When asked if he would be available Monday, Caldwell said "We'll see."

Ameer Abdullah has not had a single third down carry this year. Jim Caldwell said there was not much to it -- and said he's lead backs in the past who have not gotten work on third downs.

Jim Caldwell on tight end Eric Ebron: "We didn't expect him to go anywhere." Was asked if it was nice to have him back. Caldwell said "to have him back, he never left."

Packers WR Jordy Nelson said one of the adjustments from Aaron Rodgers to other quarterbacks is Rodgers' release time. Said his release is "something special." Said there has been some tweaks to the offense "but nothing too crazy."
