Lions Week

For starters, the Packers need not to bog down in the red zone.

GB also needs to find a way to get their TE's in that RZ. It's the one big thing they missed last year without TGIF and they miss this season so far without him. At 6'5, Bostick physically is probably the closest thing they have.

 

He played on ST's yesterday but was not out there otherwise. Hopefully that changes this week

I will be at the game - thanks to a cousin.  I am looking forward to it. 

 

There are a lot of things that need to improve in GB.  I am not sure where to start.  I am just hoping that our ability to play "real" football will come out next week.  That somehow, the nightmare of a defense that we have seen the first 2 games will turn into this run stuffing, pass snuffing machine. 

 

I just woke up from the weekend and read about the Jets game.  I now have a headache.  Back to real life. 

 

Disclaimer: The word "real" is not intended to be taken literally - with or without water. 

If Bulaga is a no go they have to give Sherrod help from the get go.   Please, for the love of god, no more hoping for the best and then adjusting.  Put it in the F'n plan from the start.

Bet the over....They can't make it high enough.

 

The Lions run game will get back on track this week. 

 

The Packers will win or lose this game with how the offense plays.

 

I'm hopeful the Packer defense can get some gifted turnovers. Joique Bell fumbled vs. the Panthers. 

Sounds like Mulumba is done for the season.

 

@jasonjwilde: McCarthy says Mulumba suffered significant knee injury. "It didn't look good during the game and it doesn't sound very good (now)."

 

Next man up, Jayrone.

 

Meanwhile, on Hyde:

 

@TyDunne: Micah Hyde says his knee injury was more of a scare than anything. Expects to go Sunday in Detroit.

 

@TyDunne: On Hyde, it's a bruise. Icing it to take down swelling. 

 

I predict the Packers will either win or lose this game.

Sucks for Mulumba.... Great news on Hyde though.  

I would like to see Janis - Ms. Jackson if you're nasty on returns.

I refuse to fall for this bull****.

I'm not mentally prepared to watch this defense apply zero pressure on 3rd and long knowing Jayrone Elliott is on the bench. 

 

It was a much simpler time knowing he was in street clothes. 

Is he even active on game days?    I assume so, but haven't noticed him on any ST units. 

He's been inactive both games

It's the Packer way....Keep using DuJuan Harris on KOR. 8 yards deep in the endzone & getting tackled at the 12. It's a perfect way to start our drives & give the poor Lion defense some much needed help

Janis is a potential play maker  - it is time!  Love to see him on the KRs.

YES!   I want this to be Jayrone's party!   Look out NFL; Jayrone is being unleashed!

Will be very, very interesting to see what we do defensively against them.  Understand that Carolina, even without the apparent whack job that is Greg Hardy, is a top-notch defensive group.  That unit is the class of the league right now.  Not only did they keep Calvin Johnson in check, they also negated the running game of the Lions, and kept Stafford under a great deal of pressure.

 

Will be a great barometer of where the Packers are right now on defense.

Detroit has had a ton of injuries issues and once again it looks like their defense is absolute garbage.

 

However, they can still score a lot of points and they are playing at home.   The Loins will be amped to play GB and as we all know how important divisional games are.  

FTFY, it's a tough league for marginal players.

Bush would disagree.

At least TOG is gone, so it's not an instant loss. Should be a good game.

I'll be at the game too.  I agree that they can't make the over high enough for this game...Lions DBs are not great and there are injuries.  I'll believe in the Packer D when they show something for a whole game.  Could be a "last team to have the ball" kind of game.  I am enjoying Lions fans finding out what it's like to NOT have an elite kicker.  If it comes down to a Lions FG attempt of greater than 35 yards, Packers are probably in good shape.

Yup, and we'll get a new barometer each week as the players and coaches get better at some of the new wrinkles. Leroy Butler suggested they should turn the corner about week 7/8 this season when they can stop thinking so much and just fly.

How was the game? Enjoyable? Any good stories?

 

Secondary? Yes, especially now with significant injuries to their corners.

 

DL? No. That's still a hell of a group and they gave Scam Newton a ton of pressure. If Sherrod is out there, Rodgers will be running for his life. Really REALLY hoping it's Bulaga that can go.

 

Detoilet bringing in several veteran kickers this week for tryouts. Their rookie kicker is on pretty thin ice.

Flip Linsley and Sitton, and have Rodgers receive the snap from under LG, thereby keeping Sherrod further away from the ball.

Of course, that's probably highly illegal under the illegal formation rules or something. 

The two guy's that make Detoits D better than it should be are Levy and Tulloch. Those two cover a ridiculous amount of real estate. Neither is great but both cover the run and pass very well.  

 

Nope.. Perfectly legal as long as you have a total of 7 on the LOS.   The players who are on the ends, are eligible receivers.

But they have to report as eligible or it's a penalty.

Depends on their number.    The ends are eligible by default.   Typically this is your WR's in a base offense and why your slot WR starts a bit back from the LOS.   

I was thinking you'd have to put two players to the left of the LT or something, since in theory the person to the left of the snapper wouldn't be the left tackle.

Nope.  You could have the tackle snap the ball as long as 7, and no more, are on the LOS. 

 

The Jets basically had a guard snap the ball last weak against us.  They moved their LT to the right side and sat a TE close to the Guard and on the LOS.   The TE was the last player on the LOS on the left side, so even though he is basically playing tackle, he is an eligible receiver.  

 

The LT who moved over to the right sides  was off the LOS, but not eligible because of his number.  (unless he reports)

If the LT moved to the right side and was off the LOS and didn't report, that's a penalty. 

I also think there has to be a minimum number of guys on each side of the ball snapper.  Like at least 2.  I know in college games I've seen some weird stuff like 3 guys and the QB and the rest of the line off to one side. 

This is starting to read like a McCarthy / Campen strategery session. 

I don't want to see the Packers get behind early.  Getting behind at home is bad enough.  But the Lions are a decent team and if the crowd gets into it, I can see the "Packer wheels" start to come off....especially on the O-line (i.e. - false starts and holding calls).

I understand if a guy wants to put up an electric fence to keep his dog in the yard.  I'm going to guess that it's probably not the brightest idea for DuJuan Harris to post a video of his dog's reaction when he accidentally had the thing set too high.  Things can get out of hand real quick on the internet.   

 

 

@Ol_sLy_Foxx

 Well at least we know it works...........for now lol instagram.com/p/tBiHlsgMxa/

 

 

 

 

Under what rule?  Nothing I know of says you need x amont of players on each side of the ball.

 

He did line up on the right side, not motioned over, but lined up.
