Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Absolutely huge to get Rodgers that extra week of rest. Gonna be cheering hard as hell for Detroit next week.

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Awesome win. We would have lost for sure if Rodgers didn't come back. Go Lions next week.

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Our streak over the Lions in home games is insane. I hope that when it finally gets snapped it's in a meaningless weak 17 game because we're resting our starters (of course we've had a couple of those and they still can't win in Wisconsin.)
Go Packers, Go Bulls, Go Cubs, Go Hawkeyes, Go Blackhawks

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Legend of Aaron Rodgers type game today. As exciting, in its own way, as last year's Week 17 against the Bears. Instead of screaming as Cobb caught the TD pass, it was "he's in the tunnel!" and "he has his helmet on!"
Brad Jones with a terrible penalty before the half, cost 7 points. (But it did make Rodgers' return more dramatic--coming back when it's 14-14 has more drama than coming back up 7.)
Offense played well: running game, Rodgers, Nelson was clutch, Richard Rodgers.
ST was bad but they did have the TD by Hyde.

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Is it just me or did it seem like Lacy ran for more than 3.8 yards per carry?

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Since he played and is probably okay, I want to think about how awesome it was that Rodgers still threw a touchdown pass on a injury that took him out for a couple of drives.

Yeah STs can't be a weakness in January.
And we're a LB and NT away from being a great defense.
Jones and Hawk are a real issue right now.

He probably had like 7 carries for 7 yards the last few offensive drives when they were just bleeding clock.

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Going to just assume we'll play Dallas. I'm going to be pissed if we're the Sunday late game. That's the only slot that conflicts with my work schedule.

I don't know how Jones keeps getting on the field. We don't have a ton of options but anyone is better than him. I dread a key third down play in a possible NFC Championship Game in Seattle where Jones is in the wrong spot yet again and Wilson runs for a backbreaking first down.

He's been DPOY caliber for awhile now. Doesn't get enough recognition. Would not trade a 1st rounder for him though.

Levy has become one of the best in the league. So awesome to see guys that were Badgers having great success in the NFL.

Re: Lions Postgame: WE GOT A BYE
Go Lions! in all seriousness if DET doesn't get an upset, SEA is looking at a bye week until the NFC championship game.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

Not saying that Carolina would beat them but I think they have about as good of a chance as the Lions do if they were to meet. They've been playing much better lately.
