Jamo making his case to be WR1

[holygoat]

Not a bad considering how badly we've been outplayed.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

That was a rotten a half of officiating as I've seen all year because you can count the points Green Bay gained off of bad calls.

He needs to step up with our top 2 pass catchers out. It was bad enough losing our top 2 tight ends but the St Brown injury is devastating.

It's not the talent level, it's the execution that's lacking. Regardless, 17-14 isn't a bad position to be in all things considered

It's talent level too along the offensive line.

11 to be exact. The first TD was not a TD, should have been a 4th down stop, and the false start clearly happened before the timeout so that's a FG instead of a TD. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Every 50/50 call has gone the Packers way and it’s a 3-point game with our ball. I’ll take it.

ETA: and also some 100/0 calls.

You know regardless of the timing of the challenge flag, feels like “Replay Assist” could have and should have been prevalent for the 3rd down completion.

Maybe we can get a makeup call in the second half. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The NFL shouldn't be in the business of makeup calls though. Get it right the first damn time.

Christ, they just gave it to him regardless of what happened. That should be and needs to be reviewable.

EMINEM!!!!

Wow, Jaymo was dead for a loss, but juked himself free. Great play.

TBH, I didnt care for the high stepping. Why take a chance pulling a hammy when we need him so bad?

[Motown Bombers]

At least these are artists I know. 

[Biff Mayhem]

Jack White killed it. That was fantastic.

Agreed. Successful teams are built from the trenches out. Every great team has a solid OL.

[MichiganCardinal]

Best halftime show in the last five years I’ve been here, and it’s not remotely close. Eminem kills.

I don't even like his music but I agree, he was pretty good.

Why should anyone but Jack White do a Super Bowl halftime show for the next ten years?

[holygoat]

Hopefully the Lions post the halftime show on their YT, because I missed it while walking the dog.

As a guitarist, I know what he was doing during 7 Nation Army and it was very, very cool. Alternative tuning and a distorted acoustic with a slide was not reinventing the wheel but it just shows how much he cares about playing for the song. It’s why he belonged in that doc with Page and The Edge. It’s not always about skill.

He is a consummate showman.

The NFL can't even follow their own ****ing rules. I always thought it was two feet inbounds for a catch. I guess if you're certain teams it's only one. I was mistaken about the two feet needing to be in rule. 

Watson’s catch was clearly a catch. He got firm control with a foot down then the next step was down: the third step was out of bounds.

 

The WIcks TD was not a catch. The defender hit his hands causing the ball to switch hands. Even though he never bobbled it, he also didn’t choose to move the ball to the other hand which means he didn’t have full control.

[Motown Bombers]

I don't mind going for it but not sure about that play call.
