Will the 11-0 Green Bay Packers win their final 5 games to go undefeated in the regular season?
and how do you think they will do in the playoffs?

I'm a Green Bay Packers fan but I'm saying No they will lose in the regular season and I can see them losing in the playoff's...

The Lions were doing what it took to win the game. A nice ball control offense and pressure on Rodgers. If Kevin Smith does not get injured, The Lions win that game imo. The Lions were not the same after that. The team that beats the Packers will have to have three things.
**Ball control offense
**Pressure Rodgers
**Great defense and special teams play.
Thats the formula to beat any team right? Especially true of GB this year.

I got them @ 4.5 - 1 when they were 8-0 to run the regular season, so I have to vote yes.

PPS- the Packers hardly "picked them apart". The Lions had three drives stall due to stupid penalties in the first quarter, before Kevin Smith got injured. That changed the whole complexion of the game imo. After K.Smith got injured, bye bye ball control offense. And the defense was good but they got shoddy special teams. |

You can manipulate numbers any way you want to prove your argument - that is what they are there for.
If you are picking on the phrase "picked them apart" I realize the Lions outganed GB 409 to 349 in total yards, but it was also 24-0 after the third quarter and after both teams punted on their first three drives, GB scored on 5 of their next 7 possessions.
As well, I am sure the Lions realized their best chance to win was to try and knock Rodgers out of the game - Didn't VanDanBoesch also get flagged for a late hit?
Rodgers did what he always does - kept his cool and won.
again.
The defense let up 349 yards. Detroit gained 409 yards.

Wasn't even going by the numbers. Quite certain I didn't reference any in my post. Hell, I'm not even a Lions fan. I just know what I saw. Not taking anything away from the Packers, since apparently you seem to think that I am. Just stating to the OP what i believe it would take to beat them.

You can manipulate numbers any way you want to prove your argument - that is what they are there for. And at halftime, Rodgers had 83 yards passing. He was picking apart nobody when the Lions were playing ball control with Kevin Smith. It wasn't until Smith went out with an injury did this game plan fall apart. That's the whole point of PS original post. You bring up the second half and total combined yards when those things have nothing to do with the point you are debating. As well, I am sure the Lions realized their best chance to win was to try and knock Rodgers out of the game - Didn't VanDanBoesch also get flagged for a late hit? Nope. He got flagged for roughing the passer and it was a total bs call. Clay Matthews had a carbon-copy tackle on Stafford and no flag was called. The announcers even talked about all this during the game. |
