I was as down on the Pack as anybody last week but I got to thinking about it and I've let off the gas there a little bit.
Not that this team, the D in particular, doesn't have much to prove and it's certainly put up or shut up time.
Last week was a short week having to play on Thursday. Probably couldn't have happened at a worse time. Trying to work in a backup QB and then the problems shuffling the Oline. DLinemen beat up and really needing time to rest and mend.
At a time when the team probably needed the rest and the prep time more than any other time of the season they got the opposite. The perfect storm and Detroit blew out their bow.
Now they get 10 days, more rest, and more prep time. It's do or die but they did get a couple guys back and hopefully the D will unite and respond and Flynn will actually be ready.
I predict a win with Flynn, FINALLY, and a momentum boost that had to come right now. I also predict a Philly win over Detroit and we're right back in the hunt. Our A player will be back from then on and that alone will be enough to pucker the Lions butt holes where they will choke out.
