No confidence in the team at this point. Detroit had an impressive win against Philly so hopefully they suffer a letdown. Not bloody likely against a division rival, but we need all the help we can get at this point.

Packers offense is 23rd (35.8%) in 3rd down conversions
Packers defense is 14th (38.7%) in 3rd down conversions


The Packers are 6th in defense? When 26 teams are giving up more points than you, how the hell do you lose four games?

It's always something eh? Every season tells a different story.

Stafford and Calvin Johnson are having a great time. Who will cover Megatron? Shields is a good CB but he's never been good against Calvin. Micah Hyde is probably returning, that's a good thing for Detroit TEs so Ebron and Pettigrew will have a good game.
I expect Mike to run Lacy a lot up the middle, then when the Lions start to stop him we'll start throwing incomplete passes to where the WRs are supposed to be.
Detroit has no running game so we'll defend with 10 plus Morgan Burnett watching plays from a safe distance. Ha Ha will have a lot of work, he might rebound or be benched for Chris Banjo. Nate Palmer will not know what to do but it doesn't matter, the line will pressure Stafford and Stafford will be forced to throw to Megatron for a completion.

This will be a very close game.

Until the offense wakes up, I really have no real confidence on this team winning more than 10 games this season, and going 3-2 in the last 5 is being optimistic with how poorly they've played. I suppose the silver lining in all this is none of our recent losses have been more than by one score other than the Denver game. Both the Chicago and Detroit losses were failure of execution in the final minute. That's the difference between 7-4 and 9-2 right now. 10-6 is a borderline wild card team right now and this team will be lucky to make the divisional round if they even make the playoffs as a WC the way they're playing.

They still control their own destiny when it comes to the division, but this team is going to have to wake up in a hurry. You hate to think this season is a lost cause, but the only reason they're still in the playoff hunt is because of the 6-0 start. We'll see what the last 5 games brings, but right now, even making the playoffs, I don't see this team going on the road and beating either Carolina or Arizona in the divisional round unless things turn around in a hurry. If they can't beat an inconsistent Detroit team on the road, they don't deserve to win the division let alone make the playoffs imo.

I really do not know what to think of this team at this point. You'd think losing to the two bottom teams in the division AT HOME would bring on some kind of change...any kind of change. Due to zero accountability and stubbornness across the board, I see a lot of struggles on Thursday night.

I usually don't get down on this team but I am finding it difficult to find any sort of positive thoughts for this team when the same jargon is being talked about after a crappy effort and loss and the very next week they carry out the same game plan.

I won't make a losing score prediction but I am not going to be surprised if they do lose and afterwards we hear the same story. If they win, good for them. They should be beating these kinds of teams.

Basically the offense is failing to put drives together and failing to get in FG range more often than not in a number of games.

Unless the offense finds some sign of life I don't think this team wins 3 more games. Based on the last 8 weeks without much improvement or change I don't know how that even happens. I think Detroit will win this one comfortably, their offense is starting to roll it seems. Maybe we'll make it close in the 4th quarter as usual but it's still probably an L.
