This ain't the old Lions, #1 in points scored!

Our defense (even if fully healthy) might have more than their hands full. And it all starts up front with the Lions dominant OL.

I'm expecting a lot of complaining about the DL coming out of the Lions game.

It doesn't look like the Packers will be able to run the ball this week.
Lion #5 in rush defense. Natural that brings up the question is their run defense THAT good or is it because they get ahead and other teams must pass to try and catch up? My guess is the latter.

Looking at their schedule and the ranking of teams rushing per game, doesn't look like they have faced many teams that are good in rushing.

Of their schedule

#3 Titans, which that Titans offense sucks, that should tell you about the teams rushing that's ranked below them.

#2 Buccaneers, 10th overall in the NFL in rushing per game and the Lions defense absolutely did shut their rushing game down in week 2 of the season. Buccaneers RBs had 17 carries for 40 yards, or 2.35 yards per carry. Looks like the Buccaneers were without their starting RT for the game. The Buccaneers won by shutting down the Lions offense.

#1 Cardinals (which having a running QB helps),
They're 7th in rushing... looks like their RBs got 13 carries for 32 yards for 2.46 yards per carry. In another fairly low scoring game. But QB did have 9 yards per rush.



Looks like the Lions shut down the RBs, and the other teams switched to the passing game where they had a lot more luck.

But do the Packers have a better OL and RB than them?

Also if Willis is playing, some read option or planned QB runs might be huge change ups.

We are so, so, freaking hosed. Our only hope is Dan Campbell beats the Lions like he did Thanksgiving.

Even the turd gamblers know what is up.

I like our chances. Play action them to death as they have a weak secondary. If packers are loaded with these so called young talented WRs, then we should win most our matchups.

I do not like our chances of going into the playoffs without a healthy Love.

Sit him at least through the bye week and let the chip fall where they may.

Agreed. I prefer Malik over Love until he is 100%.


I dont want to see anymore back foot INTs as he limps away to the sideline

Looks like rain this weekend. This favors the Packers because Jared Goff and rain do not mix well. He might fumble. He will absolutely throw some balls that can be picked. We've seen this before in rain with him.

This is also the Lions first game outdoors this season. I believe they only play outdoors two more times the rest of year.
