Okay, I know it was just the Lions, and it was closer than it should've been, but I admit that I enjoyed it. Here are some reasons:

1. Aaron Rodgers was virtually perfect. At one point he had five incompletions, and all of them were drops. Even when he had pressure and had to run, his decisions were good and his throws were on the mark.

2. Ryan Grant ran well and broke the 100 yard mark. So did DeShawn Wynn.

3. Donald Driver got his 1,000 yards on that 71 yard bomb: his sixth 1,000 yard season--breaking the franchise record--and fifth in a row.

4. Aaron Rodgers surpassed 4,000 yards for the season--only the second time that a first-time starter at QB has done that (the other one was Kurt Warner in 1999).

5. Charles Woodson and Nick Collins each got INT #7.

Okay, it's just a bunch of stats, and stats are for losers. But at this point, I'll take anything.

I'm actually disappointed with this win. I was honestly expecting this team to blow out the Lions; I felt that was something they needed.

Honestly, the Lions are a very bad team. Sure they were going to come out and play hard, but they lack talent. On Offense, they basically have two players worth a darn. Can't name any on the D.

The Packers are vastly more talented than the Lions. I really feel like they should've put the nail in the coffin after leading 14-0. I expected them to score and easily make it 21-o, maybe even 28-0.

This D is clearly not playing with confidence, and I think it showed when the let the friggin Lions come back. The Lions!!! I'm still pretty ticked off we didn't beat the skin off the Lions. The Packers have to capitalize more when they get into the red zone. That's been a problem all season.

To quote Aaron from the Bears' game, "they (didn't) belong on the same field as us" but you wouldn't have known from watching the game.


Now that I've ranted, I want to say I was really impressed with the way Rodgers threw in the cold. Showed poise and tight spirals, there isn't anything to not love about his performance today.

Saw in a blurb that this was the first team in league history to have a pair of running backs and a pair of wide receivers break 100 yds in a game.

"Notes: Green Bay's Donald Driver and Greg Jennings each had 100 yards receiving Sunday. Combined with Grant and Wynn's 100-yard rushing days, it is the first time in league history a team has had a pair of 100-yard rushers and 100-yard receivers in a single game, according to Elias. ... Packers rookie TE Jermichael Finley caught his first career touchdown pass in the first quarter."

I hear ya, AADP. I thought the Packers should've blown them out as well. But you don't often get blowouts in cold weather games. And I give the Lions credit for running a lot of elaborate picks and so forth to get Calvin Johnson open over the middle.

Somebody mentioned Jermichael Finley. He was good too. A TE who can be effective on the edge and on fade routes in the end zone is a good thing to have. I am finally seeing why the coaches are intrigued by him.

Another history-making feat by the Lions is that they only got four interceptions this season, which is the lowest number by any team since the NFL went to a 16 game schedule.
