I think people thought it was going to be much better against Detroit. I was fully expecting quite a few sacks. What I think people are missing here is that Rodgers wasn't running around because he was being chased and the line wasn't getting manhandled. They had two breakdowns with communication which is not good, but also a lot easier to fix than just getting manhandled IMO. They also had a play near the endzone where Rodgers did hold the ball too long.

My point is that it was better. It's still a bad line, but week by week, this line needs to see improvement and it was better. Now it needs improve next week and then the week after against Minnesota is going to have to be the game of their life. So far this was the 2nd best game the line played IMO. St. Louis being the first. That probably has to do with the opponent, but none the less, I think it's going to be a slow improvement.

By December, this type of thing hopefully isn't happening.

I wouldnt consider this an improvement.. I mean.. Its the lions. And they had 2 or 3 guys hurt on the line so that was backup DEs on the lions getting pressure. Hell they were even playin Olinemen some of the time.

You can't control who you play against only how you play. I would be much more concerned if the Packers loss one on one matchups like they did against Minnesota, Cincy, Chicago, and even St. Louis. That wasn't the case against Detroit. It wasn't one on one losses. It was communication problems and one play where Rodgers held the ball too long.

A sack is a sack on the stat card, but not on film. It's still bad, but better none the less. They'll be sacks given up in every game this year for the next month. That's just what's going to happen.
