Why do the Loins have the Saints logo??

That is the tip of the spear that Manute Bol once used to kill a Lion?

I tried.

Ooops!   Fixed.

I think we take this game.  

Funny Manute Bol story. When we lived in NC we got a cable sports channel from Baltimore. Bol was on a talk show with Jeff Ruland (I think). It was a call in show & a women called in and asked "my friends & I were wondering, just how big was your spear"? Minute did not miss a beat and replied "big enough" 

Good story

The QB whisperer with a bye week to prepare his hand-picked backup, the Lions losers of 3 straight starting a 3rd string nobody at LT at Lambeau (where they almost never win), Monday Night Football, let's play. 

4-12 - here it comes - I'm expecting a 50 burger out of Detoilet tonight. 

As I've mentioned in a couple of threads since the injury---this is about the "other" 52 players and their personal and professional pride at being elite football players. If they are only good for having Aaron freaking Rodgers as their QB, and if they suddenly become losers.....shame on them. Their manhood is in the midst of a test.

Oh, and Capers sucks.

perfectly stated BK. this is about the other 52 players and the staff to prove that its not AR and the 7 dwarfs standing around waiting on Rodgers to do his magic.

Football is the ultimate team game, lets go show them who the better team is

 man up or shut up. simple.

This might be the biggest non-playoff game the Packers have played for a while in terms of what it means for their long-term situation.

The defense has to put pressure on Stafford. If they get beat because Stafford reads a blitz and unloads the ball early on a hot route, so be it. But if they get beat because Stafford can stand like a statue in the pocket and wait for guys to get open, that's unacceptable. They've had two weeks to prepare against a team with a mediocre at best OL and without any superstar WRs or RBs. There is no excuse not to hold Detroit under 24 points with the defensive talent they have.

On offense, the most important thing will be whether they take the training wheels off of Hundley. If there are no downfield throws to Nelson, Adams, Cobb, and Allison then we know that they don't think Hundley is capable of making those reads and throws. If that's the case, then MM and TT are guilty of not ensuring they had an NFL caliber backup QB. I don't want to see a bunch of dump downs tonight.

I don't think they have to win tonight to provide some hope for a future without Rodgers down the road, but they absolutely can not be blown out. If they have no chance in the fourth quarter tonight, then it's time to consider the end of the MM/TT era in Green Bay.

Tonight's a test for the whole organization from Mark Murphy on down.

How can a team possibly lose 2 starters during the bye week? This team is cursed. Time to find the Jonah of this team and throw him overboard!

No, no, no, no, no no! I want to see dump offs. Screens. Motion. More shallow TE crosses. WR screens. Jet sweeps. More Aaron Jones carries. More Ty out of the backfield. I want to see creativity in the offense. Detroit is the worst defense in football at giving up yards after the catch. So get the ball out fast and pile up YAC. 

I don’t want to see Hundley having to break containment because Jordy, Adams, Cobb, and Allison struggle to create separation running 1978 era vertical stick routes. I’ve seen enough of that. I don’t need to know whether or not Hundley can hit those passes. I don’t want to watch him try when it’s beating your head against a wall. I’m not saying don’t take shots but set the table first. 

Break a defense down underneath. Force the safeties up. Two weeks prep for tonight had better result in a different looking offensive scheme. 

Chill....you know more about offense than Capers does about defense. 

Thanks Kiel.

Wait.... what?

Tonight is just another football game in the 2017 season. Nothing more.

I'm really enjoying the hyperbole leading up to this game.

Update your resume MM.

Test for the whole organization.

Going to give up 50 and and go 4-12.

There needs to be human sacrifices.

Biggest non-playoff game in history.

Keep 'em coming, I'm laid up at home today.  Thanks.

Good points. I want some creativity as well. They have to scheme to get Jordy and Adams open. However, unless they show that Hundley can threaten teams vertically, then there will be a lot of 8 man in the box defenses that will be difficult to run against and those short routes won't be as effective without forcing LBs and safeties to have to get some depth on their drops.

You should watch "Dunkirk"...that's going to be the name of this season's highlight DVD.

Is Matt Flynn available?

That should help.

If Kevin King and Randall can't go tonight, things could get ugly. Fast.

Game is on too late for me. ( 4AM wake up call) I'll have to DVR it and watch "Midway" after dinner. 

Added performances to watch link to OP

Love that clip from 17 years ago.....Dennis Miller should be in the broadcasting hall of fame

Yeah that's awesome.   Let's have another huge Packer victory again tonight, no matter how unlikely!

Packer inactives added to OP.

     ...and throw in the coaches.   I want to see some creativity Dammit and some trust in the QB.   Let's see what we have in Hundley.  

It's a ****ing win win scenario for the Packers 

Win and there is hope.  Hope for a better tomorrow.  Hope for a greater day.  The NFL loves this **** but college football is so much better at bottling it up and selling it. 

Lose?  Keep losing.  Tank it like the San Antonio Spurs in a one off year and get a Tim Duncan and win multiple titles. 

In a nutshell that is also Hundley.  Play well and parlay your value. Or suck and you are out like trout. 

It's all good in the hood 

As for Bennett - for all the "we need to sign free agents" be careful what you wish for.  **** that guy.  

I have a worrisome factor to add.  The new long snapper and it's cold. 

He best well bring his A game.  We need to win the STs tonight.
