I'm getting that message a lot now, starting about a week ago.

Not going to be an easy game. 31-28 Lions last second field goal.

Updated forecast.

Good conditions for Montgomery and Gibbs to run all over the Packers. They rank 26th against the run in the last four weeks. I'm sure they'll stuff the box, but Goff should be able to make throws underneath to Gibbs, ASB, and LaPorta. On the other side, I'm hoping we get a hobbled and immobile Love. We will stuff the run like we always do, but Willis will probably find holes in coverage and then run for long distances.

The "Goff plays poorly outdoors" trope is overplayed and stupid, but I do worry some for Bates in his first outdoor NFL game.

The talking heads on pregame are calling the Lions RB tandem...Knuckles and Sonic....lmao.

And I had a few that did embed just disappear. I'm not sure how Twitter got musked up. Election interference!! 😆

FOX is reporting that Love will start, but they are going to monitor his mobility throughout the game. Sounds like he'll have a quick hook if he looks bad.

Lions 31  Packers 10

28-26 Detroit wins.

Late game AND setting the clock back. Make us all wait a little longer. 😅

Wet condition and a bit chilly won't be good for his groin. Especially if he has to scramble. Hopefully we can get some pressures with a blitz package.

Asking for a friend. Will this game really begin at 4:25 PM or will we have to watch ex-jocks jabber at each other for 15 minutes or so before it starts?

These 4:25 "game of the week" games usually start pretty close to the listed time, kickoff will likely be at 4:30 at the latest.

Is Jason Benetti calling this Titans game?

[RandyMarsh]

Titans trying to end "the lions hangover". 

[KnoxP]

I’m thinking we control the game, get the W, but score is close.

Was Mason Rudolph's fumble of the snap in OT, inside the ten with a chance to end the game with a TD, evidence of the hangover? 

[MichiganCardinal]

I want Alim to smoke Love on the first snap of the game.

[MichiganCardinal]

Bad kick by Bates. He struggled outdoors in the UFL.

[MichiganCardinal]

Looks like the officials thought the Packers player knocked down our personnel. I'll take the 15 yard gift.

[MichiganCardinal]

4th and a foot you need tighter gaps than that on defense.

[TP_Fan]

Embarrassing defensive effort to start.  There is no wonder this team is near the last in the league in pass defense.   They are soft at every level.
