Nixon with a nice return!

Very much so.
@BrainDed posted:Despite the pick, I think Love played really well tonight. Pressure in his face all night. He battled.
I don't think he played that well, but he stayed composed. That is critical for a young QB.

Don’t know. But as a rookie, Cobb was an awesome return guy.
Nice block on hutch , Walker blocking air

How many sacks and hits. The numbers for the o line are going to be disgusting.
@tsr86free posted:Detroit is clearly a better team than the Packers, top to bottom and front office to coaching. First time in a while that they have had the all around advantage. Sad but true.
It was evident a year ago, but much of Packer fandom was in denial, some still are.
Maybe, just maybe, if the Lions steam roll the Pack on Thanksgiving for win #5 in a row in the series more fans will start wondering if perhaps it was not all the Bad Man in NY's fault.
Detroit has one playoff game win since 1957.
Carlsson makes that 50 yarder EASILY
Carlsson has been a pleasant surprise so far.

Cobb did it in 2012. Montgomery did it in 2017.
I’m thinking the bad man was on to something changing Marty’s calls when he was here

Put.. In… Caleb Jones.
I know the o line sucked tonight, but Love needs a ton of work on staring down wrs from the pocket. A number of bad decisions tonight.

Dumb

Why can’t people kill people like the Fords like they did with the Romanoffs?
Carlson was sand-bagging in preseason.
He is just going to get stronger with 2 minutes left.

Never. Whoever is Mgt and Coach are god status to those folks.
This reminds me of the Packers' games in the 80s. They get trucked by a clearly superior team in the first half. Then, the opponent would coast in the second half and they'd cut the lead to a less embarrassing number. We'd all get excited that they were "almost there" and "just needed to make another play or two" to get over the hump. Unfortunately, the reality was those Packers teams just weren't that good.
I think that's true tonight, but I also think Love is better than the David Whitehurst, Randy Wright, Anthony Dilweg, and (of course) the Blair Kiel type QBs the Packers trotted out then.
The bigger problem is that they just aren't very good in the trenches.
This offensive line talent without Bakh and Jenkins looks terrible. Not just bad, but like worst in Packers history terrible.
The defensive line play is also terrible, but I think that's Joe Barry since there appears to be a decent degree of individual talent there.
Can't have a good defense if you can't stop the run. Going to be a long season. Hopefully Barry is gone at the end of it.
MLF and staff are hanging by a thread. Not a great Q1 look.

This roster, and / or coaching, is not good. They just got steam rolled AT HOME by the division rival.
I’m glad I started A jones on my fantasy team, thanks Marty!
I don't think they are as bad as they looked tonight. Sure looked like they lacked intensity/energy from early on.

That's on you.
And MP, if there’s one thing that a for-all-intents-and-purposes rookie quarterback desperately needs, it’s a strong offensive line. A line buys time going through progressions. A line protects their blind side. And a line gives them a likely threat in the running game.
Love has none of that right now.

I think the fantasy that some 7th round pick was somehow going to be a competent LT after playing 4 snaps on special teams last year is over. It doesn't mean he will never contribute, but he looked completely lost out there tonight. The effort he gave on the sack on the last play of the first half should have gotten him benched.

So you are saying Rodgers would have saved this?

Well, at the end of last season, I referred to the Lions as the new overlords of the division.
Anyone with eyes could see they were building something good and had good draft capital for the 2023 draft.
