@Packy posted:I also live in Ohio and fully agree with Heckler. In general, I’d say Ohio State fans respect Wisconsin unlike how they feel about Michigan.
I live in North Carolina and I don’t forgive 2 fucks what Ohio State fans think of Wisconsin. 😀
Why would OSU fans like Wisconsin? Maybe have something to do with the 62 wins to 18 losses.
They would love to see the Badgers even more.
Goff has the lowest INT% of his career. Didn't throw many picks last year either. Packers O will need to play "keep away" and then score TDs, not FGs.

Very interesting take on two teams with similar trajectories meeting to decide who continues on that path.
Re: Jared Goff. He has been amazing at home this year. On the road? Well, he's been amazing at home.
Home/Away

Team averaging about 14 points less away than at home. Run defense is bad both places.
#Lions are giving up 5.3 yards per carry in the run game and it's not even worst in the NFL (Chargers, 5.4).

Evenly poor home/away
Home: 5.3 per carry, 11 rushing TDs
Away: 5.3 per carry, 11 rushing TDs
Lions also giving up 6.7 per carry on shotgun runs
I was glad to see Taylor get some action last two weeks, and hope we can work him in to get ready for the playoffs.
RTFB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought we might get to see a little Tyler Goodson but he was elevated/inactive.
LaFleur said that he doesn't expect any of the banged-up players - Christian Watson, Keisean Nixon, David Bakhtiari - to miss any practice time this week. Said the team came out of the #Vikings game pretty healthy.

But that intentionally sloppy field! How could anyone survive it?

I think he was elevated in case Nixon couldn't go .... he would have returned Kick offs.

2 years in Southern Utah…back East for a bit now to North Carolina…I’m lobbying Mrs.Kiel to go back West. We enjoy moving.
C'mon, we know that is just your way to get out of cleaning the house.
One last thing to watch for this game. I noticed that it seemed to me that Tonyan has taken the next step in the recovery of his ACL injury. Maybe its just me but I saw the old Tonyan on the field last week ! That could be the dagger we need this game. 
Yes..noted. Much quicker.
@PackerPatrick posted:It might turn out that way. From my (limited) experiences with folks from the UP they seem more Packers fans than Lion’s fans. Detroit is also getting a boatload of high picks from their trades and have a solid line. I foresee a rivalry brewing in the future.
As a former Yooper, I can tell you with 100% certainty that there are more Packer fans than Lions fans in the U.P., most likely due to the fact that the Pack was the team that was on local TV. Proximity doesn't hurt either.
WolfPack and Blair Kiel - howdy neighbors! I'm down the road in Pinehurst.

We’re in Wake Forest…right by you, no?
I think one of the NC residents needs a big X4 house on Lake Norman for all of us to use! Like the Heisman House.
We could have a sweepstakes! Venmo me $1,000 to #blairsponziescheme.
I heard on Nine to Noon with John Kuhn, a really good radio program that in the 1st Packer/Lions game 9 (ackers who played significantly were injured and out of the game. That included Doubs and Watson. And yet in a home game for the Lions the Packers lost by less than a TD. It was so bad the Packers ran out of crutches for the players to use.
So YES, I know the Packers will WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Campbell didn't play in the first game at all. AR has mentioned that his return has really helped our defense.
It would help if Rodgers doesn’t throw interceptions in the red zone.

Earliest dagger ever? We will know who to blame.

Its almost like the vikings did not go out to the field before the game for their run through and notice how AWFUL the conditions were....so weird...
@PackerPatrick posted:It would help if Rodgers doesn’t throw interceptions in the red zone.
I think the red zone needs to take at least a little responsibility.
You wanna catch touchdowns? You’d better learn the hand signals.
I wonder who it happened to? https://fox11online.com/sports...actice-squad-player#

I want to see Bakh on at least 1 go route this game. He's due.
