FIRST QUARTER
-First play from scrimmage, Arodge draws the defense offsides for a free play. This is something Arodge has added to his repetoire this year. PROBLEM: Arodge was very nearly intercepted when Quarless didn't even TRY to make a play on the ball. It's like he expected a whistle to stop they play or something. Rookie mistake. Not good.
-This first drive consisted of two nice runs by Jackson and a beautiful long TD to DD.
-12:29 Great sack by Raji vs max protect.
-10:02 Burnett comes up and makes a great hit, but it was overturned by a penalty against Detroit. People say the rap on Burnett is that he doesn't come up for run support. He sure did on this play. Detroit had alot of penalties in this game. They outplayed us in every facet except turnovers and points.
-6:59 WR fell down and Hawk intercepted it. Right in his gut. Another example of that shitty fieldturf. Fortunately in this instance, it wasn't one of our guys falling down.
-5:45 Arodge wastes a timeout to prevent delay of game.
-3:29 Masthay shanks a punt for 12 yards.

SECOND QUARTER
-11:39 Best fumbles, Pickett recovers. Neal had penetration on the play.
-Burnett injures his knee. I think Derrick Martin relieved him. Martin was later waived injured iirc. Peprah was a solid backup down the stretch.
-6:53 Hilarious free play to DD. Rodgers spun around 180 degrees avoiding the rush and rainbowed to DD for 50 yards. This was followed by a TD to Jennings on the next play. Arodge, once again drawing the defense offsides for a free play.
-5:30 Clay with a sack. Bush was blitzing and the QB had to step up to avoid pressure. BAM! Clay was right there.
-3:00 Hawk slipped on the fieldturf enabling Shawn Hill to hit Best in the flat for 20 yards.
-:08 Calvin Johnson with the TD right before the half, bringing the score to 14-21. Burnett got turned around in the end zone. The Lions were playing well, but we were beating them with turnovers.
-:02 Ensuing kickoff, Nelson seemed to be a bit lacksadaisical in picking the ball up and ends up fumbling it. Lions miss a 55 yard FG attempt, short to end the half.

THIRD QUARTER
-14:52 Woody interference. He had a few this game.
-14:47 Collins drops an INT right in his hands.
-TOP stats are shown. Detroit is leading in Time of Possession by a rough margin of 19 minutes and change to 10, as of the first half.
-14:35 Woody pick six. This is the one where he went down the sideline and dove into the end zone. Classic highlight. They were coming close to getting that ball a number of times. And they actually did get a few of them.
-9:36 Detroit drives all the way down the field, and Bush very narrowly misses an INT in the flat.
-6:04 Arodge intercepted on the 6. He was throwing one of of those balls where he was just throwing it up for grabs and letting the WR make a play on the ball. Rodgers was trying that earlier in the year. I didn't like it at all. Two plays previously to this, Rodgers had thrown another "jump ball" that was intercepted, it looked like the same play. But it was called back by a penalty. The first one was to Nelson, this one was to Jennings.
-3:12 Shawn Hill scrambles for 30 yards.
-:47 Rodgers is sacked by a really good inside rush from Suh.

FOURTH QUARTER
-13:30 Detroit FG to make it 23-28. Jordy fumbles the ensuing kickoff.
-11:35 Another "jump ball" to Jennings intercepted. Looked like the defender just timed his jump perfectly and took it away.
-Detroit gets a FG to pull the score to 26-28. Big defensive stand there.
-At this time stats are shown to the effect that Detroit leads time of possession by 34:15-15:54. They had outgained us in yards by 408-188. We were beating them based on turnovers and penalties.
-6:43 Diving deflection by Woody to prevent a first down completion in FG range. Defense came up huge in this game.
-3:39 Rodgers scrambled 15 yards for a first down.
-Game is sealed with a clock eating power running drive featuring John Kuhn. On that last first down, he dove over a player and got the yardage, enabling us to take "victory formation." How does he do it? LOL. He runs north south, that's how. In fact on some of those plays, it looked like he had some really nice lanes. He was able to actually SEE them and hit them.

A tough gritty win over an up and coming Detroit team. They fought hard and showed they were arguably the better team. They pulled off a close loss against the future Superbowl champs, with their starting QB on the sideline. Definitely a team to keep an eye on for the forseeable future.

Even though they won, it was a disappointing game. After that sloppy loss to the Bears, I thought they would bounce back strong, but they didn't. Obviously the Lions are not the pushover they used to be. One thing I remember is that Shawn Hill played really well. I was not expecting a performance like that from their backup QB. But at least the defense held at the end and the O-line and John Kuhn put it away.

Very true, although perhaps it's worth noting that the backup QB was not able to win any of those games.

If the Packers field is so bad why do the players like it so much?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown
beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls
beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
