| Good game so far!🤞 I had no idea that Joe Barry is now the Packers defensive coordinator. As (former Lions coach) Rod Marinelli’s son-in-law, he was the architect of the worst defense in NFL history during the Lions infamous 0-16 season. Not sure if there has been a worse overall defense since then, but my assessment of the Packers prospects for this season is now significantly downgraded knowing he is DC. Lions offense looks good… Anthony Lynn is a great play caller, the best we’ve had in years. Defense still needs to learn how to tackle!… and maybe try to rip the ball out of there a little more. Just glad I’m not heading for bed right now! | ||

| I was going to comment how the Packers were sticking to the run and high percentage passes. Then Rodgers tosses one into the next zip code. Oh well, he still has time to screw up. LOL | ||

@Jesse_O unfortunately, Rogers was money in the second half. The Lions just couldn’t get out of their own way after halftime. I think the wheels started to come off when they failed to convert on the 4th and 1. I understand the call but I would kick the field goal in that situation every time. After that, things just went south fast between penalties and turnovers. Goff seemed to have trouble holding onto the ball once it started raining. The interception was a horrible decision by him. He threw a pick six in a similar situation last week. He needs to learn that sometimes (nay, most of the time)it’s better to just let yourself be tackled than to throw it up for grabs trying to make a play. The Lions showed exactly what they are: they have a strong (top 5 IMO) offensive line, a respectable run game and short passing game, but zero playmakers at the WR position, although I do think Cephus has potential. Their defense was never going to stop the Packers. Their scheme was decent, playing to protect the inexperienced players in the secondary, but team tackling on defense is atrocious, especially at the linebacker position. It’s going to be ugly when Baltimore runs all over us next week . I do like the coaching staff and I see what they are trying to build. I just hope that they use those four first round picks in the next two years wisely. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I was so close to victory...How does the tiebreaker work since there are multiple people with 51 points, one with 53 and the total points scored is 52? This is from the printyourbrackets site: Our Recommended Rules for Tiebreakers: If the two [or more] participants guess the same total or if they both miss the total by the same number of points then they should [all] be declared winners. Congrats @lonestar, @Studley_Dudley and @Jake on the win, unless you guys think there's a better way of handling this. |

| @michaelekrupp yeah, I figured it would end the way it did, no matter how much I wished differently. LOL I will say though, that Detroit did play a good first half!! I was thinking we were in for a shoot out. I hate to say it, but I don't see any NFC North team beating the Packers for title this year. The only hope of that was if Rodgers kept self destructing. He looked in usual form the second half. | ||

 I'll probably wake up constipated.

| Good games for my primary teams, WFT and the Terps! Both decided on FGs with seconds remaining. Shows promise, but have to tighten up on execution. | ||
