There are many takes on what exactly to take away from the Lions game. There seems to be three general opinions about the game. I think the Lions are a better team than their record indicates, however the Packers demonstrated some very serious problems throughout the game.

I would say that's very accurate. GB clearly has the best talent overall in the conference and the best QB, though Minn clearly has the best back. The Bears should be 1-3, the Lions could easily be 3-1, and the Vikes have dropped a turd thus far. I do honestly think that all four head coaches are very sub par (especially Lovie) and that will tell a tale before the regular season and playoffs are over.

What does Lovie even do for his team? He doesn't have much of a role in the defense and certainly no role in the offense.

He's run the ball this year on 4th and goal from the 1 TWICE, and failed. The first time was against the Lions and he could have taken the lead with a chip shot field goal late in the game. He only won that game because of the "stupid rule" (trademark pending), and after the game said that he'd make that call every time. When I heard that I presumed he was just lying to cover a blatantly obvious fuck-up, but the moron did it AGAIN in the Monday night game. He wouldn't have coached another game for me after that, but I guess the McCaskey's are even stupider than Lovie is.

I went with option #2. Sure, the Lions are improved, but they were without their starting QB and their #2 WR, and their start RB was playing hurt. I was especially disappointed that the Packer receivers had trouble getting open in key situations against a secondary that is supposedly awful. I'm glad that they got the win, though, and the game did end on a big up note with that long drive to kill the clock.

KUHN! The drive the Packers put together to end the game was surprising and gave me a different kind of confidence about the offense. No doubt they'll have to put more drives like that later this season.

6+ minute game ending drives are so tasty. Yes, we let the Lions get back in it, but we sealed the deal when it counted. I'm all about a team knowing how to win, both from coming from behind and protecting a small lead. Victory formation is the best formation. 🙂

Going for a TD on fourth and goal at the one yard line is not an unusual call. In fact, I would guess that it is by far the most popular decision in that situation.

I don't think Lovie is a great coach, but he's pretty good. More often than not, he's outcoached whoever has been coaching the Packers during his time in Chicago.

Funny. I compared the kill shot Aaron tried to make to Gregorious (which would have made the score 35-23) to shooting a wounded zombie lying on the ground in the head (but missing).

Well, that final 6+ minute drive was smashing a wounded zombie lying on the ground repeatedly in the head with an axe.

Beautiful. Kudos Packers O.
