I see you're an optimist. I'm not even sure what to think about this game after last week. They'll probably bounce back but beyond that I have no idea.

---

I have a better idea, target the guy who's open thanks to the double team. Or how about using our $9 million dollar RB or the one we used a 2nd rounder on last year?

---

They will beat he hapless Lions...so 12 can still show that he "has it"

Then they will get beaten handily by the 49ers, a team with no QB but excellent lines. The excuses will be, "we just don't do well on the west coast"..." we just didn't have our focus and/or energy", but keep drinking the green Kool-aid

If a good offense faces cover 2, then they should be able to run the ball, you know, if they actually call and try running it.

Also, Rodgers simply struggles more against cover 2 than other coverages... that's not always the best way to stop all QBs, but it certainly is for Rodgers.

I'll try again this week and hope AR shows up this time. *SIGH*

What will be frustrating is that even if the Packers win convincingly, fans are still going to gripe. They will say "Lions are trash, it was expected to beat them". And if the Packers win by just 10 points, holy shit storm of hateful mean emotional reactions. If Lions somehow win, Lord have mercy, I'll go into internet hiding because I will completely lose my shit over the stupidity that will ensue, lol. I'll lock myself in internet-jail! Bahahaha.

I'm just hoping for some progress this game. Improved tackling. Less hand waving. And just play smart football.

Based on history, we should probably expect the Lions to put up around 17-21 points at Lambeau Field. Looks like the over/under on points is sitting around 48 and Packers are favored by 12. By that I'm guessing the books are thinking it'll be Packers 31 and Lions 20 or something like that.

This feels weird, I'm actually nervous about this Lions game, though mainly for two reasons...

49ers and Steelers are next and those very well could be losses... so we can't start 0-4, need to win one or two and on the road for a short week to SF is a nightmare. If I was the Packers I'd be yelling at the schedule makers for combining a long road trip and a short week together.

But also the Packers weaknesses (the line play) is actually where the Lions have been focusing on improving... so their strength matches up well with our weakness.
