If it's close, if the Packers let the Lions hang around or come back to be close in the fourth quarter, then there's a better than even chance this is going to be loss #1.
But the closer Thursday gets, the less I think this is going to be close.
I don't think Rodgers is going to have inaccuracy problems two weeks in a row. I think the D is going to come out with serious attitude. And I think Stafford, his head coach, and the Detroit defense are all overrated.
As long as the Packers avoid the cursed Hochuli and Triplette crews, and the assumed 2-3 cheap/chippy shots by the Lions don't knock Rodgers out, I think this game over before the fourth quarter.
41-9.

None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes. |

I believe we will get far enough ahead in the first half that the Packers will begin to coast.The Lions will mount a comeback in the third and we will hold on and win by 7.

I have always found recent history to be more relevant when trying to predict a win. Or in your case a loss. The last 5 games against Detroit on Thanksgiving, I think we are something like 4-1. |

Steve Young said something interesting. Everyone has kind of been on the Lions have arrived bus lately and maybe the Packers go into the game wanting to say ... hey you've made a step forward but you're still not "here" and when better to show the world that the Packers are still the best team in the division by beating the Lions on Thanksgiving with everyone watching. |

It's going to be a very tough, physical game. Detroit's defense outside of their front 4 is very mediocre. A quality pass rush can mask a lot of problems in other areas of the defense. Pass protection is going to be absolutely critical in this game and I'm sure Aaron's going to be a bit smarter this year protecting himself. If the offensive line can do an adequate job of keeping Aaron upright, it could be a long day for the Lions DBs. This defense coughed up 35 points to a mediocre at best Carolina team at home.
I do fully anticipate this game to be a shoot out though. Stafford has been prone to some interceptions the past few weeks and probably still isn't 100%. The defense for the most part is healthy. Neal got about 15 snaps on Sunday which was a good warm up so hopefully he can continue to get back into game shape. Even though going into Detroit was a tough game last year, less we forget how good Aaron has been indoors the past 12 months. No reason to think he can't continue his campaign for league MVP on Thursday with a quality game and especially looking to rebound from Sunday. |

There is a vikling bozo infecting this thread with sneering vikling idiocy of a 2-10 humanoid. This is the Packers 34th game on Thanksgiving. For the last few years they are playing every other year. The Packers are in demand. The viklings were last invited to Detroit for Thanksgiving in 1995 and only twice since the 1970 merger. If it were a random selection the viklings would be there every 8th year on average. Clearly America and the NFL do not want the vikling goatsuckers to pollute a national holiday.

-lionsrule He's on the "other" site still. I don't advocate recruiting folks, but then again, if someone wants to ... I won't object. He should have time for another Packers website to bounce around on. |

History of Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day football games
History is nice. I am all in favor of it. GB's history is 13 world championships. Minnysoda has a history of none. Minnysoda has a history of choking when they get to a big game. It doesn't even have to be the SB, which they have coughed up so well so many times. Just look their colossal failure in 2003 against the AZ Cardinals.
GB has a history of losing in Detroit. But most of those where in the 1950's. GB's recent history is 3-4. I will take my chances on Thursday. Edited by member Tuesday, November 22, 2011 3:31:09 PM(UTC)

I'm going to need help with this from our resident choking expert, but I believe "chocking" should be spelled "choking". vikesrule, care to help out? |

Didn't watch or catch much of the highlights to the Lions/Panthers game...is Stafford's throwing hand still injured? If he is throwing anything like he did against the Bears, then I expect the Packers defense to have 1-3 interceptions..1 TD. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure on Stafford. The kid hates getting hit and makes big time (dumb) mistakes when he has someone running after him. Pressure won't allow him time to watch Johnson run a streak down the field so he can float a crap pass to him and watch him catch it over 3 defenders. Protect Rodgers. Suh is as dirty as they come and if given the chance, I am sure he will try to rag doll him...
Our offensive line hasn't been taking much this season. If something happens that shouldn't happen (Lang getting kicked in the junk) the offensive line reacts. I think this is going to be an extremely chippy game with a lot of bad intentions. I don't think Rodgers accuracy will be an issue this week. I did see him hold his elbow after a play when he threw it behind Jennings on a slant. I am hoping there isn't some minor issue there and just the cold playing games with his head. Maybe his elbow was cold?  Would be nice to see a resemblance of week 9 to week 10. Packers defense sharted themselves against the Chargers and came back in week 10 to smash the suck out of the Vikings. Maybe a close call against the Bucs in week 11 will bring out another fired up defense in week 12. Packers- 35 Lions- 24 Gotta love all the "Johnny-come-lately" Lions fans... |
