Go for the knees Troy!!!

That hit on Rodgers on 2nd down shows how inconsistent the league is with roughing the passer calls. They often call fouls if a guy so much as breathes on a QB, but that Lion was allowed to take several steps after the ball was out and knock Rodgers down.

The stupid ref looked away towards the play just as he got hit. He looks back at the QB just in time to see Rodgers picking himself off the carpet and complaining. Isn't that guy supposed to keep his eye on the QB?

How played out is the Motown halftime show...boring.

 

[PatytonsGhost]

What an awful half time show.

 

[cr8f]

Thanks for destroying Motown for me NFL.

Leave this Hollywood style stuff out of games. Why do they try and make games better football is exciting enough and if there are bad games musical theatrical shows don't help.

What an awful half time show.

Reminded me of a show you'd see at Six Flags.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

I think this gets overturned.

It wouldn't have been so bad if any of these singers were anywhere near the talent level of the original motown artists.

They were all monotone, and thats not what Motown is all about

The best halftime show I ever saw was in the Liberty Bowl several years ago, Stanford vs. East Carolina. Stanford's band did a "tribute" to East Carolina, "The Nation's 51st State," which included singing the praises of tobacco, Carolina's great contribution to the world. I'm a semi-conservative smoker, & I got a kick out of it.Sorry for the hijack, but it was better than the other halftime alternative. Back to football.Any updates on Pettigrew?

Woodson is playing at an unbelievably high level this season

 

[Eviloutsider]

Nice pick.

I agree there was no power to any of their voices.

 

[PatytonsGhost]

McCarthy you're fired!!!

I don't recall them saying anything, but I highly doubt he returns.

the packers are putting on a clinic for what not to do when in your opponents half of the field.

[Mr Anonymous]

Oh how I miss Will Blackmon.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Lions really need to take some shots downfield on early downs. The play calling has been very predictable.

 

[CravenM]

If GBay doesn't win, it's because they're not running enough.

Horrible play calling and no run inside the 10

 

[BigDave]

Sweet

Driver is my flex and he goes over 100 for another 5 points in bounus -YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Anonymous]

I honestly believe that Belichick would have Brady throwing on 8 out of every 10 plays against these Lions. And it would be 100% the right thing to do.

 

[basher]

here comes a screen pass

 

[cr8f]

Now they are doing what we thought they'd do from the start.

Why does Aaron Rodgers hate Greg Jennings?

 

[Buffaloes]

Why does Aaron Rodgers hate Greg Jennings?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Why does Aaron Rodgers hate Greg Jennings?

Because he doesn't consistently get open like the other WRs do?

 

[mozzy84]

come on throw one to calvin

 

[Sack-Religious]

Why does Aaron Rodgers hate Greg Jennings?

Because he doesn't consistently get open like the other WRs do?

What changed from last year, when he was consistently getting open both deep and on quick slants?

Driver got younger somehow.

he got paid

 

[Buffaloes]

So after watching the lions, we get the raiders, huh? Awesome.

 

[NatronIsMean]

Greg Jennings definitely did something personal to Rodgers. Because he gives Jennings NOTHING.

 

[Koya]

Happens to be timed almost perfectly with Thanksgiving Dinner. Should be done and back in front of the TV by the Giants game.

Good point. Long enough to eat and nap.

I better start I have held off long enough

 

[Eviloutsider]

Rodgers isnt all that bad.

 

[Desert_Power]

Greg Jennings definitely did something personal to Rodgers. Because he gives Jennings NOTHING.

Jennings is constantly lined up to the weak side of the formation, Rodgers doesn't look to that side of the field.

 

[cubbie5150]

345 yds, 3 TDs for Rodgers already...and Jennings only has 3/48/0? Wow...

 

[mozzy84]

knew I should have benched megaturd

Based on the score and the time remaining, I wouldn't imagine much more passing happening, either.

 

[TOPDOGTOPDOG]

Is Calvin out? I havent seen him recently. THink they sit him here on out?

 

[bollocks28]

Please say a little prayer for those of us going up against the GB D/ST today.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

knew I should have benched megaturd

You started a guy that didn't look to be playing all week, got a TD out of him and are complaining?

 

[Ghost Rider]

That was nice of Green Bay to fumble the opening kickoff to make us think that maybe this would be a close game, but ultimately, the Lions showed up, as they always do on Thanksgiving.

This will be their fifth Thanksgiving blowout in a row, IIRC. NFL, we don't give two ####s about their tradition. For the love of God, take the early game away from the Detroit Lions.

 

[NatronIsMean]

Jennings is constantly lined up to the weak side of the formation, Rodgers doesn't look to that side of the field.

Doesn't this sound like something the o-coordinator should address if that is so? My goodness, it wasn't a problem last year when Jennings finished with 80 for 1,292 and 9 TDs with the same QB...

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo]

Neither has Stafford.

He doesn't? I see him looking all over the field and their receivers don't line up on just one side of the field. They often have 2 TE's and no TE's. He throws all over the field and rolls out to both sides as well.
