Game 16: Packers @ Lions *Sunday Night* Thread

They also announced they've added right tackle Riley Reiff to the injury report with a hip. He is listed as questionable.

Bummer. Robinson played well in his absence last time

I think we lose if GB scores more than 23 points. And Detroit needs to play with the lead today...keep the fans loud and into this game from the start and keep pressure on GB. And we can't go into that ultra-conservative mode if we get the lead. Hopefully last year's hail mary will keep them from just playing it close to the vest. Stafford needs to have a big day...3 TD's, a 65%+ completion percentage and no more than 1 turnover.

BTW, what's the over /under on how many times they'll show that hail mary play if the lions have less than a TD lead? 4?

Lol......thought about that too. They even have a reference to Richard Rodgers and that Hail Mary in Madden 17.

Scouting report ? Refs: Jerome Boger and crew are working this game.
What impact, if any, might they have on the game?

Some stats, as compiled by Dallas Morning News columnist Rick Gosselin:

His crew has called the fifth most penalties per game (15.1) and yards per game (125.1) for the two teams combined.

Home teams are 9-5 overall, and 5-1 in the last six games.

Boger?s crew has not worked a Lions game since 2014 or a Packers game since 2013.
Coincidentally, the 2013 game was against the Lions at Lambeau Field ? a 22-9 Packers victory in Week 5. Calvin Johnson did not play because of an injury, and the Lions? only TD was scored in the last three minutes on a pass to Kris Durham.

Since 2008, the Packers are 3-3 and the Lions 1-7 in games worked by Boger and crew. The Lions? one victory was at home over Washington in 2010.

What do the Lions look for when they research a crew doing their game?

?We kind of know what the tendencies are in terms of the calls they make and those kinds of things, which you would expect,? said Lions head coach Jim Caldwell. ?We look at all of that information.?

Pour it on, Giants!!

Pour it on, Giants!!

Interesting decision i suppose if giants and ATL both win. If were guaranteed a spot but not a first round bye....do you just sit guys and get people healthy. Or go for a division title?

Or if they both lose, we could get a bye. We could get a bye, a wild card or miss completely.

Doesn't look like a bye will happen but good chance we get regardless..

Exactly, wtf?

 

[biggunsbob]

That is probably it for a lot of giant starters right ?

 

[mhughes0021]

Lol dang....field positon vs 13-0 lead. Take the points. ...

 

[mhughes0021]

If they played them this long I'd think they'd keep them in until the game is won.

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn giant defense is something.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nope manning still coming out .

 

[biggunsbob]

Crap.

We still need to win and get a home playoff game. But if the Giants can hang on here the Packers Lions game might be a lot of fun...both teams can take chances with nothing to really lose....in terms of making the playoffs. Win the division!
