Good chance of rain with temps in the mid to low 50's Sunday. Could be a good old fashioned Black and Blue division game. Will be interesting to see how injuries play out and who ends up playing.
I'm still partial to the Mike McCarthy DEE-Troit.
We're going to kick the shit out of these bozos.
The Loins have won five and a row and they ran up the score on Tennessee. They’re due for a correction and some humbling.

They may very well be due a comeuppance but not sure they ran up the score, 0 points in the 4th qtr and 85 yds total passing doesn’t indicate they intentionally embarrassed the titans.
To me, the Titans had a lot to do with it. Play better.
They definitely ran it up against the Cowboys

To quote lionheart, " you are all going to Chok." LOL
I don't like the running up the score, but it is part of NFL playoff tiebreaking procedures. So I can't get too awful mad about it until that's changed.
I'll say this...the days of not caring about the Loins are over for now. **** them. I have one vendor that's a Loins fan, and he's insufferable right now. I get the new feeling of success, but jeez already.

"The Groins" would be more apropos this week.
Loins are -3.5 favorites in Lambeau. And the O/U is 47.5
When was the last time any team was a -3.5 point favorite or greater in Lambeau.... 2005?
FWIW ESPN Gamecast only gives the Pack a 38.4% chance of winning. This is without knowing if Love, Jaire or Evan Williams is playing.

2023 Chefs by 5.5 - they lost. 
Also last year Lions +2.5, Vikings +1.5, Chargers +3
This year Colts +2.5.
The Jordan Love Packers are 3-2 so far as home underdogs.
loins have been scoring a ton of points. Packer D had to hold up and MLF has to call a great game no matter who plays QB.

Next week is our Bye week. Maybe give an extended break to some of players who are hurting? Have them then ready to play the Bears, after the Bye. I'd have no problem resting Love and starting Willis. Maybe rest Williams so as to not aggravate his injury? Same with Jaire.

Time for an upset!

Bah......upsets never happen in the NFL...it's all chalk....right?? RIGHT?!?!?!
This Packer team isn't soft & when a bully comes in, they punch the bully right in the mouth. I've seen it before from the Pack.
Getcha popcorn ready!!
The Lions are catching GB at the best (worst) time in terms of injuries, etc. GB goes into the game not knowing if Love, JA, or Williams will play, while the Lions have been on a complete offensive tear for the past two games. The team and timing of the game is terrible.
There are a couple of things that would help GB win a tight one: getting good pressure on Goff to move him off his spot, and Jacobs/Wilson/Brooks getting a solid 3-4 yards per carry to bleed the clock and keep the Lions off the field. That means Hafley has to do something with the rush to protect the secondary, especially if JA and Williams cannot go, and MLF needs to be creative and perfect in his playcalls. If GB gets behind or into a shootout, it won't be pretty.
Hafley needs to start dialing up the more exotic stuff in the playbook. They're halfway into the season and facing a QB that will carve them up if he can't manufacture some pressure. Wyatt is back now and they seem healthy in the front 7. Gotta start bringing it.

Totally agree. Long term vs short term
Healthy vs. not healthy
Semantics used by MLF yesterday were, If they can play then they will play.
I think that before the play or not to play decision is reached they should ask the internet docs what they think.
Seriously people, we joke all the time about how conservative the Packers medical staff is. Do we really think GB would play these guys unless it made sense for and was 100% in the best interest for the player and team.
Just thinking out loud, but what do you think a groin rehab consists of? A lot of massaging and rubbing down of the groin area? Constant ice and now heat applied to the groin region by the medical staff? I'd like to see this documented on the Super Bowl season recap VHS tape.
Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi have the FOX call of Packers-Lions from Lambeau in the Sunday late afternoon slot.

I have nothing to base my opinion on the injuries other than how conservative the Packers have been historically with injuries. But, IMHO I think none of them will play so they have the bye to heal up and be ready for the stretch run.

Adam Schefter was on ESPN Milwaukee this morning. Sources told him that the belief is Jordan Love is likely to play this week. The injury is considered minor and he should be ready to go barring some setback.
Also, apparently MLF is rather miffed at an inside "leak" at 1265 relaying injury news to media outlets like Schefter, Ian Rap, etc.
I still don't get why MLF is so hush hush on injury news. Welcome to the modern era of social media. Shit gets leaked all the time. And no Matt, it doesn't give you the advantage you think it does keeping injury news under raps.
I tore a groin muscle in college throwing javelin. When it went, someone nearby asked if I had torn my shorts it was so loud. I walked with a limp and couldn't use my leg to walk up a curb or step. Rehab at that time was a lot of ice/heat combo, ibuprofen, gentle movement, and very gentle stretching. I still had the state meet to go in a week, so I spent a lot of time rehabbing. They wrapped it tight the day of the meet, the trainer said, "Make your first throw count cuz that's all you're going to get," and I walked off with a sixth place. When it healed, I had a lump the size of a handball in that area. That went down to a tip of a little finger after a summer of riding horses when I worked on a horse farm as the muscle was constantly stretching. Later, when I played goalie in ice hockey, I wore compression shorts, neoprene sleeve, and stretched carefully on it to keep it from pulling again.
Overall, it's not a fun injury and I'd be in favor of letting Love rest it this week. I'm not sure at this point in the season if we could beat the Lions without everyone being at full strength, so I'm for patience.
Info came from Love's agent, not inside 1265.
Perception is reality for some.
And seriously, who gives a shit MLF, really?
@RobDemovsky:
The Packers signed LB Jamin Davis, a 2021 first-round pick of the Commanders, to the practice squad and released LB Chris Russell from the practice squad.
Davis played in 50 career games for Washington, which released him last week.
——-
Note: Davis was one of a series of bad first round picks by Ron Rivera. WASH tried him at OLB, then MLB, then this season tried to recast him as a pass rushing DE. He always struck me as athlete first, football player second… slow to diagnose. A bit like Quay Walker that way. A reclamation project to be sure.
