From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.

I haven't generally accepted injury as an excuse for losses this season, but Lions are a team where we need all hands on deck. Sadly, I don't think we have the horses to beat them, but ya never know. I am just hoping for a fun and competitive game like the past few weeks.

Was going to say the same. I think our injury situation is really going to catch up with us.

You guys are probably right, but its the NFL so you never know. Thanksgiving games can be weird sometimes. One thing that is trending better is way less penalties and not starting drives at our 7 yard line. Or, at least it seems better. I haven't actually looked at the numbers. Better starting field position is such a big deal and changes everything offensively both for the QB and play caller.
I use to think we could beat anyone, I use to have a reason to think that way, now, not so much, I just want to see continued improvement, mostly on offense, to many injuries on defense against a well coached offense to expect to hold them below 24 possibly 30 points, not sure we can expect our young QB and receivers to match that, specially with just Dillon (that we know about) to run, just hope to be excited for individual performance again, a win is a plus against Detroit, specially in Ford field.

Yes.
That is the one controllable thing that MLF and Co. seem to have arrested. No more continually shooting themselves in the foot by derailing offensive drives and extending defensive stops. That, alone, goes a long way in improving their on-field competitiveness.
Nope. But I'll never forget the bomb to Sharpe from Favre. It wasn't a Thanksgiving Day game. It was at the Silverdome. He heaved the ball across the field and deep to a wide open Sharpe on a pseudo busted play.

Sharpe had an injury and couldn't run full speed. He said after that if he was fully healthy he would have been through the endzone when the ball got there.
