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.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
