We have to play Rodgers twice in the next 8 gms :(

[hankpav53]

god damn. so upset... only thing that could keep us in the turkey day one is their less than average pass defense... and for the final game they'll have the nfc locked up so hopefully rest their starters


we don't have a chance otherwise... still think we lose both

Good thing is we get to play that shitty defense twice as well.

Aren't we the last team that beat those bitches?

That would be it. 7-3. Some would say Rodgers didn't play all game but the defense kicked the crap out of him.

Tip pass with bad tackling, the worse pass I might ever see all year and one where a team needed to make a play at games end. They're 32 in pass defense.

That defense is ranked like 28th in the league in yards allowed per game.

They come up with plays to win the game though. Saints and chargers both lost because of the defense. Plus battleing injuries.

The only reason they are even in most games is because the offense, so far, has been unstoppable. If they meet a team that is balanced and slows down Rodgers and co. then that defense is going to end up costing GB.

Noooooooooooo. Of course they do. Doesn't mean the defense doesnt blow.

I'm sorry our secondary is beat up and our pass def has sucked. But they've been doing enough in clutch time to win games.

Plus losing jenkins has hurt obviously

green bays schedule hasn't been all that hot....worst matchup for them is a team who can get pressure without blitzing, good vs the pass, and can pass the ball...what's worse about their pass defense is look at the qb's they have faced coming in....i think green bay didn't win a title until their d turned around and so far they remind me of the packer team in 09 not last years...just my opinion though...we'll see if im right come thanksgiving

We have a shot but it's going to be an extremley tough game. Rushing four well and keeping 7 back is the only shot to slow down Rodgers. He hasn't scored on Lions in 6 Quarters and the first half last year he torched Wade twice and Landon Johnson. But the Pack are on another level compared to last year. Offensively Detroit has to play well obviously because it won't be a defensive struggle. Lions and Giants front 4 is the Packers biggest challenge this season.

 

[wolverine304]

Study the tape on what v jax did. Calvin is him 2.0. That's your way of winning.

 

[manchild98]

Any given Sunday. The Chargers got pretty good pressure on him. He really doesn't miss many throws at all. He just puts it on the money all over the field. Our offense has to be clicking on all cylinders that day.

Call me crazy, but I actually think we beat Rodgers on Thanksgiving. This will be the first Thanksgiving day game is how ong that we are actually playing for something and it will be the "unbeatable" Packers who will still likely be undefeated. That crowd will be rocking and I actually think we match up well with the Packers.

IMO two teams who will provide one of the toughest matchups in the NFL for GB is the Lions and Giants because of their pass rush. Our biggest weakness on defense is that run defense and I don't think Green Bay can exploit it. IMO that pass rush with slow Rodgers down and although he normal standards he should have a good day, but he won't look super-human against us.

On the other side that pass defense is looking awful and Calvin always seems to come up big against Green Bay. I say if Stafford avoids the turnovers on Thanksgiving (which he has all year) we win a close game and give them their first lose. I just have that feeling about that game.

You have a little too much Packer envy dmoney.

i understand this is a lions board, but rodgers was flat out UNREAL out there today.......the way he played was just sort of shocking to me. don't worry, i'll get over it....

 

[suh]

The only way I see the lions beating the Packers is if they slow down the game by running and utilizing play actions effectively. I saw a defense that is aggressive, which is one thing you can use against them.
